Video support

[TimPietrusky]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. People are using videos when they compose their visual sets and want to use them in modV. People have a music video ready and want to apply some awesome effects in modV to use that for a live gig.

Describe the solution you'd like Use a component to add a video (e.g. Texture 2D) that provides playback methods for the video:

• Play / Pause video
• Change the playback speed
• Start time / end time of the snippet of the video
• Restart video automatically vs play only once
• Loop video

Describe alternatives you've considered See https://github.com/vcync/modV/discussions/501#discussioncomment-197293

We may be able to support video without moving outside of the worker, but we may need extra node.js conversion steps. For example, .basis Universal Texture Video can be used without <video> or DOM APIs: http://binomial.biz/TextureVideoTest/

We are working on getting support for this via https://github.com/vcync/modV/issues/569

Realistically, #569 is a long way off and should probably be part of "modV 4", whenever that happens.

But, as all things Chromium transpire, you wait long enough and there's a new API to use. This explains how to decode an MP4 in a Worker and extract frames:

Could be viable. Slow down only really occurs on multiple 1080 videos. Stress test here: https://cn363.csb.app/

695 is related as it will essentially use the same interface.

This is an updated stress test using the preferred method of sending the whole video stream to the worker, rather than frames. https://r3w32.csb.app/
