Bug fixes

• Removed github token (f5f9ade)

Enhancements

Improved error logging

Improved error logging by mapping Shaka errors to the following attributes: errorCode, errorPlatformCode, errorMessage, errorStackTrace, errorSeverity.

This enhancement ensures cleaner, more structured error data in New Relic by extracting only the essential error attributes from Shaka Player errors, removing unwanted properties like the data array.

Updates

Fixed CONTENT_ERROR Event

Attached the error EventListener to the player instead of its tag, following Shaka's specifications, to fix the CONTENT_ERROR event.
