This uncaught exception breaks integration with video.js (my use case which is unrecoverable—requires a hard refresh).

I don't know how to trace the exception given the screenshot, but if I comment out PlaybackController.js:130:

function pause() {
    if (!element) return;
    // element.pause();
    element.autoplay = false;
}

The exception no longer fires (but now you cannot pause).

Potential reference material:

Thanks.
