User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150715004006

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update Flame to buildID: 20150629010206
2. Launch Video app
3. Tap large mp4 video to play it

NOTE: video must have a large filesize; resolution seems to have no impact on results; attempted using videos with filesizes above 500MB

Device used: Flame 2.5 
BuildID: 


Actual results:

Error message "Cannot play video: Another app is using the video player"


Expected results:

Video should play normally.

NOTE: smaller videos (on the order of a few MB in size) will play normally.  Again, resolution of the video does not seem to directly impact video playback, only filesi
Also reproducible on buildID: 20150527010201
This issue is not reproducible on builds earlier than the aforementioned buildID: 20150527010201.

Not sure if this is somehow related to Bug 1112412; I ran across it while looking through bugs.
