I use the Netflix plugin for Media Center everyday. Yesterday I noticed a change in the Netflix media player. You would select the video, goes through the whole bandwidth check and start the video. Normally you would see the progress bar floating near the bottom similar, but slightly different, from the media center player for recordedtv.
Now it almost looks like a video player frame like you would get if you were watching the video on a website. The progress bar is in a taskbar at the bottom along with volume control and ability to go Full Screen. Now each time I play a neflix video I have to take out the keyboard to select Full Screen. The first few times I did this I noted a Silverlight dialog box pop asking about saving the full screen selection. I did so, but it made no difference.
A couple other changes. At full screen I have gotten rid of the taskbar at the bottom which is sort of back to normal. However, I used to be able to press play to see where I was on the progress bar. That no longer works. And I no longer see the media center volume popup when I change volume.
Anyone else note a change? Other than MS Security Essential virus definitions there were no updates installed.
Anyone else notice a change?
