A React Native player component that exposes its native view handle.
react-native-theoplayer exposes this as player.nativeHandle; for
react-native-video use the useReactVideoHandle hook (or the plain
getReactVideoViewTag extractor), which reads the view tag that the
library's event payloads carry as target at runtime, so no cast is needed.
findNodeHandle(videoRef.current) does NOT work: react-native-video's ref is
an imperative-methods object, not a host component. The bridge resolves the
native player view by this tag and wraps the underlying native player
instance in the matching native PlayerAdapter.
