removeListener method
Remove a previously registered closure from the list of closures that are notified when the object changes.
If the given listener is not registered, the call is ignored.
This method returns immediately if dispose has been called.
If a listener is added twice, and is removed once during an iteration (e.g. in response to a notification), it will still be called again. If, on the other hand, it is removed as many times as it was registered, then it will no longer be called. This odd behavior is the result of the ChangeNotifier not being able to determine which listener is being removed, since they are identical, therefore it will conservatively still call all the listeners when it knows that any are still registered.
This surprising behavior can be unexpectedly observed when registering a listener on two separate objects which are both forwarding all registrations to a common upstream object.

Implementation
@override
void removeListener(VoidCallback listener) {
// Prevent VideoPlayer from causing an exception to be thrown when attempting to
// remove its own listener after the controller has already been disposed.
if (!_isDisposed) {
super.removeListener(listener);
}
}
