Recent changes to YouTube’s embed requirements caused the embedded player
to break when loaded directly from chrome-extension:// pages (Error 153:
missing embedder identity / referrer).
This PR fixes the issue by routing video playback through an HTTPS-hosted
player page (player.html), which restores a valid embed context.
Key changes:
Note:
PLAYER_HOST_URL must be replaced with an HTTPS origin that serves
player.html (e.g. https://player.example.com). This is intentionally left
as a placeholder for downstream configuration.
