Embedded video usage

// MauiProgram.cs - this also registers CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement.
builder.UseTheBetterPdfViewer();

// XAML / code-behind
viewer.EmbeddedVideosChanged += (s, e) =>
{
    foreach (var video in e.Videos)
        Console.WriteLine($"p.{video.PageNumber} {video.AnnotationKind} {video.FileName}");
};

// Option 1: open a video at the user's request via the modal player.
await viewer.PlayEmbeddedVideoAsync(viewer.EmbeddedVideos[0]);

// Option 2: let the viewer overlay tappable ▶ buttons over each video
// annotation. Tapping a button opens the same modal player.
viewer.EnableInPageVideoOverlay = true;
