Fix: The play() request was interrupted by end of playback. https://g…

When I try to play a video with a unique frame, it throws the error above, the best fix I found was just ignore the error since it is just a warning and the remain implementation is correct.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing.If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request addresses an issue where benign video playback interruptions on the web were being reported as errors. It introduces a check to specifically ignore DOMExceptions related to these interruptions, making the error handling more robust. Additionally, some minor code formatting changes are included. My review suggests a refinement to the error checking logic to rely on the exception's name property instead of its message string for better reliability across different web browsers.

Relying on the exception's message string can be brittle, as it may change between browser versions or not be consistent across different browsers.

A more robust method is to check the exception.name. According to web standards and the linked article, playback interruptions should raise a DOMException with the name AbortError. This change makes the check more reliable and removes the need for the now-unused message variable.

      if (exception.name == 'AbortError') {
