Types broken with `MediaProviderAdapter `

[Mister-Hope]

See https://www.vidstack.io/docs/wc/player/api/providers/hls?styling=default-theme#loading

The docs says that we can set library property on provider to change how to load the provider (Background: JSDeliver is nearly inaccessible in China)

However, the provider has type MediaProviderAdapter | null, and there is no library field on MediaProviderAdapter:

That soft provider type checking was designed for CDN users so TS types are not considered there. You have some options:

Option 1. Use player.provider which will cast to the correct type:

if (player.provider?.type === 'hls') {
}

Option 2. Cast to AnyMediaProvider:

import type { AnyMediaProvider } from 'vidstack';

const provider = event.detail as AnyMediaProvider;
if (provider?.type === 'hls') {
}

Option 3. Cast the type yourself:

import type { HLSProvider } from 'vidstack';

if (provider?.type === 'hls') {
  const hls = provider as HLSProvider;
}

Hi, you may need to reopen this:

The type is different with docs:

From the docs, VidStack is expecting dash package default import while the types is expecting MediaPlayer on it.

Please fix one of this.
