Other Information

• I've tried addingdisableDeferredLoading={true} as mentioned in https://github.com/cookpete/react-player/issues/1396, but I get a console warning doing that.

At this point I’m tempted to remove that check completely. It seems to be causing more problems than it solves.

Hello dear cookpete,

I'm facing the same issue as jp-albrecht (the creator of this issue), and I would like to what should we do to fix this Warning.

More precisely, I'm getting this error when I'm changing very fast the volume prop through a slider, which is to say when for example I instantly decrease the volume from 100 to 50, I get this Warning.

I'm looking forward to receiving your valuable reply and comments, cheers!
