Overview: Introduction to EmeraldVideoPlayer3D node.

EmeraldVideoPlayer3D extends Node3D to bring LibVLC video playback into 3D game environments. It manages an ImageTexture that can either be rendered automatically via an attached Sprite3D or mapped onto any 3D mesh material (StandardMaterial3D.albedo_texture).
