Backbone conflict

Hi,
Simple History
Version: 2.37.2

A site that I use this on has displayed a console error “Backbone history has already started”. This is derived from a conflicting plugin already starting the Backbone history. They also use the wp-backbone dependency handle rather than the backbone. The conflicting plugin is brightcove player.

Would it be possible if your team updated the JS, first stop Backbone history before the start? Updating plugins/simple-history/js/scripts.js line 608 Backbone.history.start() to first run Backbone.history.stop() worked for me but I reverted that to make a workaround without having to edit a plugin.

At the moment I dequeue all conflicting plugins on the “Simple History dashboard” only if they contain a dependency of wp-backbone or backbone.

Thanks
Anthony
