Hi Marcelo:

Thank you for your answer, though you don't give me much hope.
I've tried to close, stop and pause the video but the final effect is the 
same: grey screen. What I've done is place a TImage component over 
TMediaPlayer and toggle it on or off when I need. It is not a good 
solution but I can't find another way to solve it. If you come across 
other possible solutions, please let me know.

Regards
Rafael Caballos
