I wish that the video stayed centered when zooming in and out, but it seems to be anchored to the top left.
Also, I'm really really looking for an extension that will let me watch in 4:3. There are so many widescreen extensions, but no 4:3 ones - I hate that old TV Shows are getting ""remastered"" in widescreen by Netflix, those extra sides were never meant to be seen and it kind of kills the nostalgia for me. I'd love it if this extension added the ability to watch in 4:3!!
