How do i play an HLS stream when playlist.m3u8 file is constantly being updated?

I am using MediaRecorder to record chunks of my live video in webm format from MediaStream and converting these chunks to .ts files on the server using ffmpeg and then updating my playlist.m3u8 file with this code:

function generateM3u8Playlist(fileDataArr, playlistFp, isLive, cb) {
    var durations = fileDataArr.map(function(fd) {
        return fd.duration;
    });
    var maxT = maxOfArr(durations);

    var meta = [
        '#EXTM3U',
        '#EXT-X-VERSION:3',
        '#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0',
        '#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES',
        '#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:' + Math.ceil(maxT),
    ];

    fileDataArr.forEach(function(fd) {
        meta.push('#EXTINF:' + fd.duration.toFixed(2) + ',');
        meta.push(fd.fileName2);
    });

    if (!isLive) {
        meta.push('#EXT-X-ENDLIST');
    }

    meta.push('');
    meta = meta.join('\n');

    fs.writeFile(playlistFp, meta, cb);
}

Here fileDataArr holds information for all the chunks that have been created.

After that i use this code to create a hls server :

var runStreamServer = (function(streamFolder) {
    var executed = false;
    return function(streamFolder) {
        if (!executed) {
            executed = true;
            var HLSServer = require('hls-server')
            var http = require('http')

            var server = http.createServer()
            var hls = new HLSServer(server, {
                path: '/stream', // Base URI to output HLS streams
                dir: 'C:\\Users\\Work\\Desktop\\live-stream\\webcam2hls\\videos\\' + streamFolder // Directory that input files are stored
            })
            console.log("We are going to stream from folder:" + streamFolder);
            server.listen(8000);
            console.log('Server Listening on Port 8000');
        }
    };
})();

The problem is that if i stop creating new chunks and then use the hls server link: http://localhost:8000/stream/playlist.m3u8 then the video plays in VLC but if i try to play during the recording it keeps loading the file but does not play. I want it to play while its creating new chunks and updating playlist.m3u8. The quirk in generateM3u8Playlist function is that it adds '#EXT-X-ENDLIST' to the playlist file after i have stopped recording. The software is still in production so its a bit messy code. Thank you for any answers.

The client side that generates blobs is as follows:

var mediaConstraints = {
            video: true,
            audio:true
        };
navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);
function onMediaSuccess(stream) {
            console.log('will start capturing and sending ' + (DT / 1000) + 's videos when you press start');
            var mediaRecorder = new MediaStreamRecorder(stream);

            mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'video/webm';

            mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function(blob) {
                var count2 = zeroPad(count, 5);
                // here count2 just creates a blob number 
                console.log('sending chunk ' + name + ' #' + count2 + '...');
                send('/chunk/' + name + '/' + count2 + (stopped ? '/finish' : ''), blob);
                ++count;
            };
        }
// Here we have the send function which sends our blob to server:
        function send(url, blob) {
            var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            xhr.open('POST', url, true);

            xhr.responseType = 'text/plain';
            xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'video/webm');
            //xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", blob.length);

            xhr.onload = function(e) {
                if (this.status === 200) {
                    console.log(this.response);
                }
            };
            xhr.send(blob);
        }

The code that receives the XHR request is as follows:

var parts = u.split('/');
        var prefix = parts[2];
        var num = parts[3];
        var isFirst = false;
        var isLast = !!parts[4];

        if ((/^0+$/).test(num)) {
            var path = require('path');
            shell.mkdir(path.join(__dirname, 'videos', prefix));
            isFirst = true;
        }

        var fp = 'videos/' + prefix + '/' + num + '.webm';
        var msg = 'got ' + fp;
        console.log(msg);
        console.log('isFirst:%s, isLast:%s', isFirst, isLast);

        var stream = fs.createWriteStream(fp, { encoding: 'binary' });
        /*stream.on('end', function() {
            respond(res, ['text/plain', msg]);
        });*/

        //req.setEncoding('binary');

        req.pipe(stream);
        req.on('end', function() {
            respond(res, ['text/plain', msg]);

            if (!LIVE) { return; }

            var duration = 20;
            var fd = {
                fileName: num + '.webm',
                filePath: fp,
                duration: duration
            };
            var fileDataArr;
            if (isFirst) {
                fileDataArr = [];
                fileDataArrs[prefix] = fileDataArr;
            } else {
                var fileDataArr = fileDataArrs[prefix];
            }
            try {
                fileDataArr.push(fd);
            } catch (err) {
                fileDataArr = [];
                console.log(err.message);
            }
            videoUtils.computeStartTimes(fileDataArr);

            videoUtils.webm2Mpegts(fd, function(err, mpegtsFp) {
                if (err) { return console.error(err); }
                console.log('created %s', mpegtsFp);

                var playlistFp = 'videos/' + prefix + '/playlist.m3u8';

                var fileDataArr2 = (isLast ? fileDataArr : lastN(fileDataArr, PREV_ITEMS_IN_LIVE));

                var action = (isFirst ? 'created' : (isLast ? 'finished' : 'updated'));

                videoUtils.generateM3u8Playlist(fileDataArr2, playlistFp, !isLast, function(err) {
                    console.log('playlist %s %s', playlistFp, (err ? err.toString() : action));
                });
            });


            runStreamServer(prefix);
        }
