 - Added `preferredForwardBufferDuration` (iOS) - the duration the player should buffer media from the network ahead of the playhead to guard against playback disruption. (#1944)

 - Added `trackId` (Android ExoPlayer) - Configure an identifier for the video stream to link the playback context to the events emitted. (#1944)
