Hi there— this is correct. The issue is that the recording is generated ***without a duration***. The recording plays properly....there's just no duration metadata (so skipping ahead doesn't work, for example). 

This is a correct reproduction of the issue. Thanks!

This has been discussed in the W3C repo [1] and is mentioned
in the README.md:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/third_party/WebKit/Source/modules/mediarecorder/README.md#the-produced-recording-doesn_t-have-duration-or-is-not-seekable

 philesterman@ please take a look a those.

Thanks for the update. 

Reposting for onlookers: using a library to reconstruct the cues seems the most usable. 

E.g.: 

ffmpeg -i input.webm -c copy output.webm
