Description
Problem: Video adapters show vague "expo-av/expo-video is not available" errors when dependencies are missing, causing developer confusion during setup.
Current: Generic error messages with no installation guidance or resolution steps.
Expected: Clear, actionable errors like "ExpoAVVideoAdapter: Module not found. Please install expo-av: 'npx expo install expo-av'"
Impact: Affects all platforms during initial setup - wastes developer time and creates unnecessary support issues.
Solution: Implement getAvailabilityInfo() method with detailed error context and installation commands.
## Is the issue reproducible only on a specific device?
[✓ ] No
[ ] Yes (specify device model + iOS/Android version)
This is a dependency issue - affects all devices when expo-av isn't installed
