dynamically changing video gives the play() request was interrupted by a new load request

Question

When dynamically changing the video , i am getting the following error under server console

(index):71 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a new load request.

I am using the following code when change occurred

function playlocalVID()
{
        var player = document.getElementById("video");
        var currentVID = document.getElementById('currentVID');
        var selectedLocalVID = document.getElementById('howtovideo').files[0];
        currentVID.setAttribute('src', URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([selectedLocalVID])));
        player.load();
        player.play();
}

But when changed the video 3 - 4 times or clicked on Remove Button

i am getting the issue

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a new load request.

Attach canplay event to #video element, within playlocalVID() call create Blob URL from File object, note it is not necessary to also call Blob() with File object as parameter; set current File.name at #video .dataset; set <input type="file"> element .value to null for change event to be called when same file is selected in succession; call .load() at #video element; wait for canplay or canplaythrough event to be dispatched at #video element; at canplay event handler call .play() at #video element.

Kinda messy, but it worked for me. (the important part is just: https://github.com/sampotts/plyr/issues/331#issuecomment-529398384) — Venryx, Sep 09 '19 at 10:11
