fix(sourceset): ignore blob urls when updating source cache (videojs#5371)

gkatsev · web-flow · commit 9cb1ba5ae94f · 2018-08-10T15:13:21.000-04:00
It's possible for us to get a blob url for sourceset, but when we do, we
shouldn't update the source caches with that information.

blob urls can arise when playback is done via Media Source Extension (MSE) such as m3u8 sources with @videojs/http-streaming (VHS).
