Fixes #807, reported by @lssb.

When a .strm file is opened, the player resolves it to the underlying media URL. Syncplay previously treated that URL as a different file, causing shared playlist synchronisation to fail.

This keeps the .strm source as the shared playlist identity while allowing the player to use the resolved media internally.

Tested with local .strm files using mpv. VLC has unreliable position reporting with some network streams, so the existing VLC warning has also been clarified.
