Hi @trinonsense, please provide the player version or branch you are testing in.

I highly recommend you assign an id to the elements you pass to setup. If you don't the player should do that for you, but this isn't a use-case we test for.

@trinonsense have a look at https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer/compare/feature/support-elements-with-no-id?expand=1

This would assign a data attribute "data-jwplayer-id" to elements queried with jwplayer(domElememt) which do not have an id. The attribute is removed when jwplayer().remove() is called, and it is not present on the player element after setup, because the player always assigns an id to elements it creates.
