Once WebCrypto is supported by the Chrome browser - the foundation of Chrome OS - Netflix will start testing the Silverlight substitute on Windows and OS X. Netflix has already begun using two of the three extensions - the exception is 'WebCrypto,' which handles JavaScript encryption - in Google's Chrome OS on Samsung's Chromebook. Park and Watson said Netflix would replace Silverlight on Windows and Mac desktops and notebooks with three HTML5 extensions - Netflix collectively dubbed them 'HTML5 Premium Video Extensions' - to allow JavaScript to generate media streams, lock down the content with digital rights management (DRM) anti-piracy technology, and encrypt/decrypt the JavaScript-to-Netflix-server communications. Netflix's shift from Silverlight to HTML5, said McGuire, is proof of that maturation. 'HTML5 has matured to the point where most in the industry are moving to it.' 'Moving to HTML5 is important to someone like Netflix, which wants to be as platform agnostic as possible,' said Mike McGuire, an analyst with Gartner.

Some users, especially those running Macs, have also criticized Silverlight for hogging their machines' processors, slowing other tasks to a crawl or making their systems overheat. Mozilla's Firefox, while not going that far, now automatically blocks all plug-ins except for Adobe's Flash Player, making the user 'click-to-play' a plug-in. Microsoft, for example, has banned plug-ins from Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) on Windows RT, the scaled-down edition aimed at tablets, and on the 'Modern' user interface (UI), formerly known as 'Metro,' on Windows 8. Park and Watson defended the switch to HTML5 with well-worn arguments, including distrust of plug-ins on security grounds, but they also pointed out that browsers, even on the desktop, are shifting to a no-plug-in model. Although the technology was used by NBC to stream the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2010 Winter Olympics, the network switched to Google-owned YouTube to provide the streaming infrastructure for last year's London Games. Netflix is one of the largest licensees of Silverlight, and among the few major services that still rely on it. In India, Apple doesnвЂ™t have a 14 day replacement warranty, so IвЂ™m stuck twiddling my thumbs as they open my MacBook and attempt to figure out what the issue is.As the two noted, Microsoft has said it will support the Silverlight 5 browser plug-in until Oct. They have no idea how and why the issue happens - and owing to it being intermittent, are unable to reproduce it with certainty. I reported the issue to Apple for the first time about 13 days after purchasing my MacBook, and finally sent it in for вЂњdiagnosisвЂќ last week. IвЂ™ve opened 3 case IDвЂ™s with Apple trying to sort it, and have finally given it to the service centre.

The recap video is only about 2 mins and right about 40% through the video, if youвЂ™re playing it on full screen without touching the trackpad, the screen flashes green in he right and lower part of the display. Happened during вЂњMindhunterвЂќ, вЂњStranger ThingsвЂќ and even in the вЂњHouse of Cards - Recap Season 4вЂќ video.

It has never yet happened in Youtube or VLC or any other app - but only seems to happen while playing Netflix in safari.
