Can't remove VideoClipObject from ObjectContainer

In a channel project I'm working on, I conditionally include a VCO in the OC for MainMenu().

However, once it is included,if I exclude it due to an IF condition exclusion, it still appears.  I can do this with DirectoryObjects without any problem.  They appear and disappear or are replaced as expected.

The VCO is added inside an IF block.  So it only gets added if the condition is true.

Since the channel I am working on is a VLC interface, if nothing is playing, the user should not have the option of launching the VCO, so I just don't include it on the next pass of MainMenu().  This does not work after its first appearance.

Does it require a special removal?

Is it not removable by design?

Thanks.

This is an issue with the local Plex web app (Plex Media Manager), which is a version 1 version of the app.  The internet web app is version 2 and will be released as a local version when Plex is satisfied with its performance.

Just a suggestion, Plex/Web is probably not a very good choice for primary channel testing.  I would suggest using Plex Home Theater or the iOS or Android client as your primary testing platform if possible.
