Currently, we require a manifest such as DASH or HLS. We do not play back individual files, such as these webm files, because these are not supported through MediaSource. We currently only do playback through the MediaSource API.

We have an open feature request to add support for single files (#816) but we are still working toward that. There are many foundational things that have to change for this, and it will take some time to get there. You can follow #816 if you are interested to track progress.

Thanks!
