Description

.ts files are a low-level video container format with mime type video/mp2t. They are used to send chunks of video for incremental streaming. We should support previewing them, not since they're particularly useful on their own, but because they're useful for stitching together smaller pieces of video. ts isn't supported by the HTML video tag, so this will need to be done with a JavaScript library.

We should also support .m3u8 files, which are playlists of ts files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research JavaScript libraries that can play MPEG TS streams, such as hls.js for HLS playlists. Implement a video player component that handles .ts and .m3u8 files. Consider integrating it into the existing viewer.
