FATAL EXCEPTION: FinalizerWatchdogDaemon

I'm testing ijkplayer with an app where I need to play some video one after the other. The videos are about 30 seconds average.

After the 5th or 6th video I keep getting this TOTAL FAILURE:

06-09 16:42:06.342: E/AndroidRuntime(5233): FATAL EXCEPTION: FinalizerWatchdogDaemon

The only way I've been able to continue working at the moment is by removing line 405 in IjkMediaPlayer

remove this line may cause resource leak.

Try:

// pseudo-code in UIThread
currentPlayer.stop()
currentPlayer.setSurface(null)
runOnBackgroundThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        currentPlayer.shutdown();
        currentPlayer.release();
    }
})

newPlayer = new Player()
// blablabla
...
