[🐛 Bug]: Logs from video recorder do not respect the SE_LOG_TIMESTAMP env variable

[MJB222398]

What happened?

Hub and node containers allow you to set the timestamp format for logs using the SE_LOG_TIMESTAMP environment variable. However this does not seem to be supported in video containers. Furthermore, if you are using in node video recording then any logs in that node container that are from the video recorder do not obey the SE_LOG_TIMESTAMP variable. So you end up with logs of a mixed timestamp format which is messy and hard to read.

Video logs in the node container should obey this variable. Would also be nice if the video container supported this variable too
