> So the problem is that the element is not being garbage collected before the next one is set up. You can't change this, but you can force the media player to be cleared by changing video.src. Note that if you set it to an empty string, eg. video.src="", you will also need to call video.load().

Calling the stop() function in HTMLMediaElement::removedFrom() instead of pause() couldn't be a solution for the issue?
