Description

It will give more control over player instance.

Why it is needed ?

Because the player instance is not destroyed sometimes on moving from the component.

Possible implementation

Technical POV how to do it

Code sample

Code sample

Today you have 2 options to stop the player:

  • put source={undefined} -> stop the player but keep the instance and view
  • umount <Video component, it will release completely the player.

BTW, on 6.2.0 there sere some fix which may fix your issue ...

I close the issue as what you are requesting is in fact umounting the Video component ...
