RNVideo in overlay prevents the componentDidUnmount from being triggered

What happened?

When showing a Overlay with a RNVideo component from react-native-video, the Video prevents the view from being unmounted on dismiss. I noticed this because my RNVideo was still playing in the background when I dismissed the overlay.

In other words, once you have a video playing, this code:

useEffect(() => {
  console.log('mounted');
  return () => {
    console.log('unmounted');
  };
}, []);

will only print mounted to the console, unmounted will never be called.

What was the expected behaviour?

I expect it to actually unmount like a normal Screen (push) does.

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.

Help us reproduce this issue!

1. Show overlay with video
2. Dismiss overlay
3. Notice the overlay component still being "mounted" in native view hierarchy (video/audio still playing)

In what environment did this happen?

React Native Navigation version: 7.48.0
React Native version: 0.77
Has Fabric (React Native's new rendering system) enabled: (yes/no) no
Node version: 20
Device model: iPhone 17 Simulator
iOS version: 26

Start by reproducing the issue with an Overlay containing a react-native-video component, then inspect the overlay dismissal and unmount behavior. Done means dismissing the overlay triggers the component cleanup and the video or audio no longer continues playing in the background.
