I'll look in to this soon, I'm not sure at the moment if it's a demo app bug or a library bug.

Issue resolved for me, just use onDestroy method to removeVideoApi and invokeStop

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    Log.d(VideoPlayerActivity.class.getCanonicalName(), "onStop: ");
    playlistManager.unRegisterPlaylistListener(this);
    
    if (videoApi.isPlaying()) {
        playlistManager.invokePausePlay();
    }
}



@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    playlistManager.removeVideoApi(videoApi);
    playlistManager.invokeStop();

    super.onDestroy();
    Log.d(VideoPlayerActivity.class.getCanonicalName(), "onDestroy: ");
}
