MD-WIDGETS: Video cannot be seeked during playback in Chrome

[tonypioneer]

Description

When running the app in a web browser, if the user tries to drag the slider to a specific timestamp, the video cannot be seeked; instead, the playhead immediately snaps back to 0:00 (the beginning).

Restore PR - actually it does not seem to be working for me. Tap on the progress bar still goes back to 0 on Chrome on Linux

Thanks @gjwgit for the feedback. I'll test it on Linux and fix the issue.

Hi @gjwgit, I did a round of test on Chrome on Ubuntu 25.04, the progress bar works well on my machine. I think you can follow the steps below to test this PR.

$ cd example/
$ flutter build web --release
$ cd build/web/
$ python3 ../../server/http_range_server.py 8080

After the server starts, open Chrome and go to http://localhost:8080 manually.

That works. Thanks.
