Hey Ludo,
This is expected behavior. Many browsers had and have issues when seeking to or very close to the end of a video, leading to unexpected behaviors in the browsers. Therefore, this is a security mechanism to avoid such problems.

I’d like to understand if there is a reasonable use case for seeking to the end of the asset, given that you wouldn’t see anything but playback ends?
