dot indexing is not supported error on second run using VideoReader

Hi everyone,

I have run into an issue using VideoReader, when running the below code the first time, it works perfectly fine.

v = VideoReader('1test144.mp4');

X = read(v);

However trying to rerun the code with either the same or a different file gives the following error:

Error using

VideoReader/read>readFramesUntilEnd

(line 234)

Dot indexing is not supported for

variables of this type.

Error in VideoReader/read (line 124)

videoFrames =

readFramesUntilEnd(obj);

Restarting matlab allows the code to run again. I have also tried to use clear all but that does not make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated
