Playback from CID with lvpr.tv

we’ve gotten feature requests for lvpr.tv to play via CID. For that to work, we can play the video directly from gateways, have a visual indicator to the user that playback is un-optimized, and link them to a landing page that explains Livepeer’s integration on top of dStorage.

This would depend on how we want this feature to be used - we currently have this "as-is". There's basically two ways we could go about solving this - requiring a user to provide a gateway URL for the CID, or assuming a gateway for a CID (like w3s). We currently support the former with a src query param on lvpr.tv. The latter would have the issue of latency for users. We can add docs around this feature and the visual indicator when we detect playback from an IPFS source URL. Eric Tang WDYT?

Chase Adams: Good call out. Feels like the latency issue would be pretty significant, not sure if it's worth the effort ATM.
