[Bug Fix]

Description of Change

This changes how Source is set in Windows for MediaPlayer. It currently sets source directly. Now it will set source not on Player but on Player.MediaPlayer using either SetFileSource or SetUriSource This addresses the issue linked below where an mp4 file in a Url will fail to playback after an arbitrary number of times it has been loaded.

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes a bug in the Windows implementation of MediaElement where MP4 files from URLs would fail to playback after being loaded multiple times. The fix changes how media sources are set by using the MediaPlayer API methods (SetUriSource and SetFileSource) instead of directly setting the Source property.

Key Changes:

• Replace direct Player.Source assignment with Player.MediaPlayer.SetUriSource() for URI-based sources
• Replace direct Player.Source assignment with Player.MediaPlayer.SetFileSource() for file-based sources
