Subject: [PATCH] fix(ios): restart render loop after setting state machine
 inputs (#161)

On iOS, when a state machine settles (isPlaying=false), setting an input doesn't restart the render loop so the change is never visually processed. Android handles this via its controller queue. This adds playIfNeeded() to the three input setters to match Android behavior.

Fixes #161
