Do you mean zooming out beyond the default size that is set by Netflix? That would not make much sense because it would cause black bars to appear on every side (top and bottom) of the video.

If you zoom in, you can zoom out again until you reach the default size which means that you can see the whole video (no clipped parts).

    I fixed it with the new version 1.9.5

    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!!

    The video is not anchored to the top left. It should always be centered. Either you are part of a test by Netflix which can be disabled (www.netflix.com/DoNotTest) or Netflix uses a different UI in your country, in which case I can't fix this for you.

    I think the imdb button is broken, but it used to work fine. It currently always gives me back this: https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=null

    edit: Thanks! fixed with new update

    Is this makes us always stream Netflix at 1080p or in full resolution and activated automatically? Thanks.

    No. All the features of this extension are documented in the description on the main page.

    No, that feature is complicated to implement and I'd like to concentrate on other features. Especially because someone else already implemented this. You can use this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/netflix-1080p-firefox/

    This is such a useful addon that works really well. I particularly like the ability to adjust the volume using the mouse scroll wheel. The zoom function also works seemlessly.

    The developer also gave his time to help me with a separate issue, which I was so grateful for, so there is excellent support for the addon as well. Top marks!

    really great

    quoting "The addon Better Netflix claims to automatically force the highest video bitrate, without any dependencies, and may therefore be a superior alternative to this addon.
    " from the Netflix Max Bitrate by Nick Barry add-on.

    Is this true?

    No, not anymore. Unfortunately I had to stop developing this feature because it was just too much work. This addon was broken every time Netflix updated their script and I had to modify it manually.

    I love the extension and its functionality, especially controlling the volume with the mouse wheel.

    Thank you!!

    I tried to reproduce your problem but I was not able to. Are you sure that this Addon is causing your problem? It does not do anything on the main Netflix page. It should only be active on the list page and the page where the video is played.

    Does it happen on a specific page or after doing specific things?

    We can further discuss your problem on the follwing page (further replies are only possible with edits here but without notifications): https://gitlab.com/konstantin-mueller/better-netflix/-/issues

    Developer responded quickly to my bug report and fixed the issue. This neat little extension is alive and kicking.

    Hey, benutzte das Addon nun seid mehr als ein halbes Jahr und es funktioniert Perfekt aber seit 1/2 Tagen hat sich das UI von Netflix geändert und man kann nicht mehr reinzoomen. Ansonsten Top addon hoffe ein Fix kommt schnell damit man wieder in 21:9 schauen kann :)

    Update: Hab das mit der Test Version ausgemacht und jetzt fkt. es wieder ohne Probleme

    Für mich hat sich nichts geändert und das Addon funktioniert weiterhin. Vielleicht bist du Teil eines Tests, was sich unter folgendem Link deaktivieren lässt: https://www.netflix.com/DoNotTest

    Ansonsten kann ich leider ohne Zugriff auf die neue UI nicht weiterhelfen.
  • by Davidgo123, 4 years ago
    Works great. But when the next Episode start, the zoom will be reset. Possible to fix that (maybe with update)?

    Thanks for fast replay and work!. Great work.

    Sehr gute Netflix Erweiterung was auch Funktoniert mit viele Optionen alles Super und schön gemacht mit den Buttons for Zooming und die Funktion Elapsed Time finde ich auch GUT :)
  • by Koffiots, 4 years ago
    Do the Job. Will be genius, if we can move in the screen when we zoom in.
