Error on navigating away from page

[magistrula]

The following error occurs when I navigate away from the page containing my media player. Note that I have set up my playlist using ng-repeat.

TypeError: Cannot read property '$$destroyed' of null

I would be happy to help, but add more details to the report.. this happens in normal pages or when navigating away views? (ex: using ui-router)

in the latter case a plunkr can be made up and would be really helpful to track down the issue

[cristiano-belloni]

navigating views, I'm fairly sure the culprit is scope.$on('$destroy', player.$destroy);

Sorry, my error message was different. Will open a new issue.

Managed to create a plkr for this bug (which seems somehow related to #38): http://plnkr.co/edit/6Ji1TtT10JyBe8GsQutc?p=preview

How to reproduce:
Click the /bug view link, then go back to the / view. See the TypeError: Cannot read property '$$destroyed' of null message.

I suspect this happens everytime on scope destruction, but it is not easily seen because most scopes don't get destroyed during the lifetime of an angular app.

Okey, coming back after some time to the lib, I think I am a douche.
player.$destroy was a method of the player in previous versions to clear the event listeners attached to the directive element.

I don't think it's necessary anymore, since if the element gets removed from the DOM, the event listeners attached to the DOM EL gets garbage collected.

So I assume I'll just remove the call and not try to fix it with something working.

To check if I did something wrong I'll have to profile the memory when creating/destroying multiple media player directives

Sorry, I've been experiencing this error and haven't really seen the solution in the thread. Any suggestions?
