Why using Ids?

Why do you use an id to create the api.player?
We can provide a selector or an element.
Then you search for the corresponding element to find its id to pass to api.player constructor.
If we provide an element, you are searching for it's ID to provide to api.player so that it can search for the element!

Problem is, in a Virtual DOM, the api.player cannot access the inner element of a virtual DOM. Passing the element itself solves the problem.

Thanks.
