The basic example provided in github can not play a .m3u8
with a duration > 40 minutes. Memory grows pretty fast and does not seem to be disposed properly:
After 10-20 minutes of playback, the app usually crashes. I tried with both <video>
element and the TVJS MediaPlayer helper, observing similar behavior.
It is noteworthy to say that this does not happen when streaming the same page with Edge, but I guess that app has better privileges/memory management than the webview used for hosted webapps.
There are probably a bunch of hosted webapps in the xbox store that do not have memory problems, am I missing something?
To anyone landing here - a recent update fixed the leak. This was confirmed with talks to a customer service member.
