Much of the time the picture freezes or plays very slowly. Almost a deal breaker for me. The old player worked better. Much of the time the picture freezes or plays very slowly.

I just noticed today that the filmstrip has improved - we can now "skip ahead" by clicking on the far right like we used to. Quality seems to have improved too (I think that got fixed a week or two ago). Most excellent! Thanks!! Hey!

It works fine in IE, but it's a bit of a pain to have to switch browsers every time I want to use the player. Is anyone else having this problem? Surely there must be more Firefox users out there?

I would have to think that the majority of people don't sit through an watch a whole movie start to finish. I like to jump forward by clicking the far side of the old player. If you could make it so the filmstrip doesn't move with the slide bar it would be much better! We really need the skip ahead feature.

I HATE THE SCROLLING BAR–with the old one you could click the far right and jump ahead. This may seem trivial, but it’s actually a big deal with how I watch the movies now. With the old one you could just keep the mouse in the same spot and click to jump ahead, but now that the scroll recenters, clicking repeatedly on the far right jumps the video forward only incrementally. Any thoughts on this Alison? My only issue is the “skip ahead” feature being gone – what was described previously:

A better compromise would be a switch so you can turn it on and off. OK, I can see how some ppl might hate the scrolling but I think it’s a good idea.

PLEASE just disable the auto-center on the scrollbar preview, you would still get the benefit of all the new flash player's improvements, but fix a major step back. I agree 100% with jcasey86.
