Subject: [PATCH] fix(playback): disable timeout for webtorrent-only sources

When a video has no fallback URL (CDN), the playback service now waits indefinitely for peers instead of timing out after 3 seconds. This prevents premature failures for WebTorrent-only content.

Ref: `js/services/playbackService.js`
