How to use Blob URL, MediaSource or other methods to play concatenated Blobs of media fragments?

Viewed 11705

Am attempting to implement, for lack of a different description, an offline media context.

The concept is to create 1 second Blobs of recorded media, with the ability to

  1. Play the 1 second Blobs independently at an HTMLMediaElement
  2. Play the full media resource from concatenated Blobs

The issue is that once the Blobs are concatenated the media resource does not play at HTMLMedia element using either a Blob URL or MediaSource.

The created Blob URL only plays 1 second of the concatenated Blob's. MediaSource throws two exceptions

DOMException: Failed to execute 'addSourceBuffer' on 'MediaSource': The MediaSource's readyState is not 'open'

and

DOMException: Failed to execute 'appendBuffer' on 'SourceBuffer': This SourceBuffer has been removed from the parent media source.

How to properly encode the concatenated Blobs or otherwise implement a workaround to play the media fragments as a single re-constituted media resource?

using Blob URL at else statement at select change event, which only plays first second of media resource

video.src = URL.createObjectURL(fullMedia);
