I get indicates a memory leak in my application warning when implement React-netflix-player.

[huy232]

Hello, I have this warning only whenever I try to implement

<ReactNetflixPlayer src={myMp4FileState}/>

into my component, if I disable the React-netflix-player and switch to a standard HTML tag like:

<video controls>
<source src = {myMp4FileState} />
</video>

the warning will disappear and everything is fine again, no more warning fire out, I've tested it a few times by disabling and enabling the React-netflix-player, so I think it's from the React-netflix-player, hope you can have a look, thanks.

For more specific, it's said:

Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function.

Hey @huy232
Yesterday I published a new version of react-netflix-player.

May you try with this new version 1.1.5?

If the problem persist, send me your react version please.

problem still persists with newest react version (v17). Possible solution is to do some cleanup in the useEffect hooks (for example reset all the states to default values)

Hello @Lucasmg37 , I'm really sorry for my really really late reply, I've been busy and didn't see the notification up until now.

So after a year, I returned to this player because I like it and want to know whether I still have this problem or not. But turn out I still have this problem.

My React version is "react": "^17.0.2"

To reproduce the situation:
First I have component A, which contains the information about the series, or movie (like their name, how many episodes they have, etc.), in there, whenever I click on a specific episode, it'll navigate or <Link/> me to component B.
So the current route of component A will be:
localhost:3000/info/a-random-series

Component B is where the ReactNetflixPlayer is. In there I receive some params, for example:
localhost:3000/watch/a-random-series?episode=3

I'm using the backButton function of ReactNetflixPlayer so that the user can return to the information page when they don't want to watch the series anymore.
I do it like this:
backButton={() => navigate('/info/${a-random-series}')}
Furthermore, when I use the reprodutionList to change to another episode, the warning still persists.

So when I go back to the information page or change the episode, it immediately fires a warning that I'm having a memory leak. Besides, after watching an episode for some period of time, let's say about 3-5 minutes, another warning that said there were Over 200 classes were generated for component styled.div thing (this is a yellow warning, not a red error warning). From that point, the video player started to be very laggy and function very slowly.

I used some other players for my project and it still works fine, but when I switch to this, I have those problems, up until now.

Hope you can read this.
