Pressing Home while a favorite TV channel previewed in the hero only stopped the activity; the Home composition stayed alive and its ExoPlayer kept playing. Gate the hero video on the lifecycle being STARTED and release the stream on stop so it re-prepares on return.

Summary
This change ensures that hero video playback is properly stopped when the Home screen is backgrounded (e.g., when the user presses the Home button or minimizes the app). This prevents audio from continuing to play in the background and ensures live streams are re-prepared fresh when the app returns to the foreground.
