[Android] FLV video playback cause crash
Problem Description
FLV video playback cause crash on Android/ChromeOS devices with complex AIR applications. It happens mostly on "fast switch" between multiple FLV videos with complex DisplayList render as I understood.
Tested with multiple AIR versions, even with latest AIR 51.2.2.6 with multiple different Android and ChromeOS devices with different OS versions, different architectures (armv8, x86_64) with different FLV videos. Same issue in all cases. There is no such issues with other platforms. Also it works fine with non-AIR applications.

Steps to Reproduce
I still cannot isolate this issue in sample. But you need to have AIR application for Android with switching between multiple FLV videos. For example on click stop previous video, remove it and launch next. Or launch next FLV video without stopping previous one.
