How to remove AVPlayer/AVPlayerItem properly?

Question

I am getting alert message "Cannot Decode. Decoder required for this media is busy." when trying to play a video file fifth time in application. After searching I found AVPlayerItem fails with AVStatusFailed and error code "Cannot Decode", which says only 4 players canbe initialized in iOS. But I am playing only one player at a time. I am releasing player object and recreating for another play and it displays alert on fifth play.

hi, have u found a solution for this? thanks – Bruno Muniz Jan 25 '17 at 14:16 — Bruno Muniz, Jan 25 '17 at 14:16
