chore(deps): bump hls.js from 1.6.17 to 1.7.0 in /frontend

[dependabot]

Bumps hls.js from 1.6.17 to 1.7.0.

Release notes

Sourced from hls.js's releases.

v1.7.0

Summary

HLS.js v1.7.0 adds I-frame playlist support, improved playback of protected content, and CMCD v2 for standardized streaming analytics. It also delivers smoother audio-track switching, faster startup through parallel init-segment loading, and fixes across Low-Latency HLS, subtitles, interstitials, and live streaming.

Highlights to try in this release:

• I-frame playback — call hls.createIFramePlayer() and loadMediaAt(time) to render frames from a stream's #EXT-X-I-FRAME-STREAM-INF variants in a video element, or load an #EXT-X-I-FRAMES-ONLY media playlist directly.
• Smoother audio switching — set hls.nextAudioTrack (or pass { flushImmediate: true } to setAudioOption for an immediate one) to schedule a seamless audio-rendition change that avoids stalls and added live latency.
• CMCD v2 — set cmcd.version: 2 to enable it, and configure cmcd.eventTargets to send standardized event reports to an external analytics endpoint. Not all CMCD v2 events, fields, and HLS.js features are supported as of this release.
• Faster startup — alternate audio and video init segments now load in parallel; try a stream with separate audio/video renditions.
• Improved support for looped video — a new loopBackBufferFlush config option flushes the lower-quality back buffer on looped streams.
• Tune level selection — abrSwitchInterval throttles automatic quality switches, and errorPenaltyExpireMs lets a level penalized by a load error be re-elected instead of being avoided for the rest of the session.
• Stop loading stale live streams — set liveMaxUnchangedPlaylistRefresh to error out with PLAYLIST_UNCHANGED_ERROR after a set number of unchanged playlist reloads instead of polling a dead playlist indefinitely.
• Recover from broken appends — on live and VOD alike, appendTimeout bounds a SourceBuffer append that never completes, while MEDIA_SOURCE_REQUIRES_RESET and BUFFER_APPEND_NO_PROGRESS report a MediaSource that has to be reset and fragments that append without ever buffering.

Breaking changes

No public exports were removed and no runtime behavior changes are required to upgrade from v1.6 to v1.7. TypeScript consumers might see new compile errors where previously loose types have been narrowed. Each is listed with upgrade guidance in the migration guide: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/blob/v1.7.0/MIGRATING.md#migrating-from-hlsjs-16-to-17

Some exported type dependencies ("eventemitter3", "@​svta/cml-cmcd", "@​svta/cml-utils", "@​svta/cml-structured-field-values") have not been bundled with hls.d.ts. This will be addressed in an upcoming patch.
