[EstebanBP]

I'm facing this problem too when I try to destroy/dispose the player I'm currently using

• videojs-contrib-dash 2.11.0
• [email protected] (I've tried several versions 6.x, 7.x, latest, ... same result)

Same. This causes a crash.

I've searched the internet, I can't find a pattern to safely reset / destroy dashjs and any video player type. This issue exists with plyr too.
