The player was rebuilt whenever the channel payload's address changed, which was every fetch (a new token
each time): that was the stutter. hls.js counted its live edge in 6 s target durations and ignored IVS's
prefetch segments: that was the lag. Both are fixed, prefetch segments no longer feed the bandwidth
estimate, and the address now comes from the lighter playback-url endpoint with its ad opt-out kept.
Resolution and CC buttons sit in the player's controls.
