Recording Addon - The Timestamp of the video is always broken!

Expected Behavior

Export a normal webm file

Actual Behavior

Still exports the webm file, but the time stamp is broken ( I use discord, and there it shows the timestamp broken)

Why is it a problem? Well, when I try to upload the video to any platform that allows upload of videos, they always refuse to upload because the video don't reach the minimum limit (it needs to be above 1 second or even 1 minute), so my theory is that the broken timestamp causes this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Record a video in turbowarp (Usually I record with 60 seconds)

Operating System and Browser

Windows 10 - Opera GX 85.0

  1. Bugs with addons go to https://github.com/ScratchAddons/ScratchAddons/issues
  2. The missing timestamp is a technical restriction of .webm files iirc, but it shouldn't restrict you from uploading them to Discord. I can upload them to Discord just fine

It's a restriction of the extremely poorly designed API for recording things in JS, not WebM.

If websites aren't letting you upload the files, that's a problem with those sites because the files are completely valid.
