True, still a ton of cleanup, old silverlight video/content/systems to clean up. I bet content costs are a little higher as well with many formats having to be pushed to the edges rather than one VC-1 format. I wonder why haven't they moved all systems/browsers to it if their html5 player side and content is up to speed? I usually watch in Safari because I work in Chrome/Firefox for dev typically.

IIRC, Netflix uses a no plugin mode in Safari on Yosemite.

Hi, I work at Netflix. We switched from VC-1 to H.264 a few years ago, so the encodes don't change with the switch from Silverlight to HTML5 video. Currently just IE 11, Chrome, and Safari 8 in Yosemite support our HTML5 player. It depends on three new APIs in HTML5: MSE, EME, WebCrypto. Shameless plug: I'm currently hiring for the engineering manager of the team that builds our HTML5 streaming video player. http://jobs.netflix.com/jobs.php?id=NFX01593 http://jobs.netflix.com/jobs.php?id=NFX01593
