Introduction example is broken on https://webtorrent.io/intro

I just pasted the contents of "HTML example with status showing UI" on https://webtorrent.io/intro into a file called sample.html, opened that in my browser, and whilst the video downloads, the video does not play.

Brave 1.65.114 Chromium: 124.0.6367.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hi @memoryhash,

Due to breaking changes between v1 and v2, the example on https://webtorrent.io/intro will not work with webtorrent@latest, and the current active maintainers do not have the ability to update this page.

You can downgrade the sample code you're using to use https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webtorrent@1.9.7, rather than webtorrent@latest, which will get this sample working, or alternatively, use the more up to date sample found here.
