	:Description:
		Delivers FAL videos as adaptive HLS streams for a fast start and
		smooth playback on any connection. Videos are encoded
		asynchronously with ffmpeg in a background worker; until a stream
		is ready, the original file is played. Works with `<f:media>` and
		the Text & Media content element, uses native HLS or hls.js and
		supports poster images from b13/poster-image.
