Subject: [PATCH] fix(playout): strip comments from casparcg.config (parser
 aborts on them)

CasparCG 2.4.0's config parser aborts at startup (SIGABRT, exit 134) on
nearly every launch when the config contains XML comments / blank lines.
Proven empirically: identical image + comment-free config = 8/8 stable
starts; + commented config = 0/8 (all abort before logging init). Use
the compact comment-free form that the known-good image shipped.
