file.renderTo('div#player') fails

[chovy]

Calling file.renderTo('div#player') fails when file is an mp4

Uncaught Error: Cannot render ".mp4" inside a "div" element, expected "video"

using file.appendTo('div#player') works but then I get multiple video objects each time I play a file.

renderTo is intended to be used with a <video> dom node. You can't use it with a <div>.

You can make a <video id="player"> element and then use renderTo with it.

I tried that too, it seems to show up but nothing is visible.

I think at the very least the docs should have an example. I'll submit a PR.
