Subject: [PATCH] Fix video player mute and audio issues on hover previews

Resolve an issue where the video player's mute button and audio functionality were not working correctly on video card previews. This commit updates the video player component to properly handle mute/unmute states, ensures audio is present before attempting to play, and improves the user experience by making the mute button more functional and providing localized titles.
