fix: call video.play() after short delay to ensure cached video is playing on load #5

Certain cached videos such as RHR and Stacker News Live don't automatically play. Examples:

This PR just adds a small delay and then attempts to call play on the video element after the manifest is parsed.

It also catches the exception that usually results from having too low of a "Media Engagement Index" and set the play state to paused:

DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD
