ipad mini 2021: overheating high cpu usage?

[forumassjw]

Hello.
I have "random" overheating problems with VLC after playing a video file from smb or local on a new Ipad Mini 2021. For example I watch a video, do some stuff with other apps (like browsing) and go back to vlc and thing works fine. But after certain conditions (do not know what are they are) vlc starts to overheat the tablet. If I restart the tablet and run the same file the problem goes away (and comes back later)...

The problem was on all IOS version (from 15 onward).

I did a factory reset and all the usuall fixes.

Or is this a hardware problem and I should demand a replacement?

FYI, we further investigated the issue and found the problem to be within VLC not within the hardware. Details here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/1240
We hope to have a fix in the next update of the app.
