Implemented the suggested workaround from this comment to make Airplay work in Safari.

For some reason, audio doesn't play on Airplay on my TV, but I think this should probably be handled on the streaming server.
Previously, using Airplay didn't work at all, so this PR is still an improvement since the video is now displayed on the target device properly.

Airplay support was added to the player of Stremio Web in this PR: Stremio/stremio-web#629

var source = document.createElement('source');
source.src = stream.url;
videoElement.appendChild(source);
videoElement.disableRemotePlayback = false;

No, this has to be done after calling hls.attachMedia(videoElement); and media is attaching, hence this is done on the Hls.Events.MEDIA_ATTACHING event.
I tested this with many other variations and this is the only way that got it working.

function attachOriginalSource() {
var source = document.createElement('source');
source.src = stream.url;
videoElement.appendChild(source);

we need to add the corresponding action in the unload command handler after the videoElement.removeAttribute('src'); call
something like:
while (videoElement.child) videoElement.removeChild(videoElement.child)
