Display an inline video player for a specified file in the resources of the playground.

Swift Playgrounds can play videos at remote URLs as well as video resources that are included in the Playground package. However, any poster images must be included in the Playground package in order to be displayed. For information on adding videos and other resource files to your playground, see Add resources to a playground in Xcode Help.
