Player "bg-video" is already initialised

Hi I am getting this error: VIDEOJS: WARN: Player "bg-video" is already initialised. Options will not be applied. Please advise. Thanks

Hi @nppsbh,

That message appears when you try to initialise a videojs video twice.

For instance:

var bgVideo = videojs('bg-video', {
   controls: false
}); // This sentence will initialise a new videojs instance

// Later, trying to access the same video
var v = videojs('bg-video'); //This will return the same instance so bgVideo === v
var v = videojs('bg-video', {}); //This will try to initialise a new videojs instance over the same video component resulting the error you describe.

Hope this helps you. If not, I'm afraid you will have to ask in videojs repo beacuse this error belongs videojs.
