Video Player in a Flatlist(Feed behavior) Slows app performance

[tdammy92]

I am currently working on an app similar to tiktok feeds, but i noticed performance deeps when you have watched some certain amount of videos. the app becomes slower and way more worst on android, it leads to out of memory issue and tends to crash.

i have tried different technics to resolve this issue.

• controlling the playing and pausing using ref so as to play only the current video in view.
• setting seek to 0 when the user scrolls to a new item on the feed.
• tried using different bufferConfig to see if it makes any difference.

am open to any suggestion.
