Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN-80649” project
2. In Build Settings, make sure that “Development Build” is selected
3. Build and Run the Android Player
4. Open a profiler (I used Android Studio’s profiler ("C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\profiler.exe"))
5. Profile the memory of the Player
6. In the Player, press “Play” and “Stop” to play and stop the video multiple times
7. Observe the allocated memory

Expected result: Memory allocation increases after playing the video, but returns after stopping
Actual result: Memory allocation increases more and more with every play of the video
