Are you sure you don't play multiple video with the screen stack ?
Is this something you can reproduce without navigation ?

@freeboub thanks for the response,

Yes, I am only playing one video at a time. But what I have noticed so far is the RAM uses increases constantly after playing second video even after exiting the Screen with Video Player.

I have not tried it without navigation but will try it and will let you know if I can reproduce that without navigation.

Seems like the problem was with the wrapper component.

@freeboub,

Seems like when leaving the screen with video player, if the video player is in paused state then it's seems to be the reference is not destroyed or garbage collected.

---

Let's assume, I have screen Home Screen and Video Player Screen.

• Go to video player screen
• Play Video
• Pause Video
• Go back

If you see the RAM uses then it just increases and never stops and device started to heating up.

@ngima I suspect this is the same issue than : #3567
Can you please double check on 6.2.0 if this is still reproduced?

Looks good in v6.2.0, now the seems like the garbage collection working properly.
Thanks @freeboub
