Prior versions worked differently without the child windows. However it was a severe architectural limitation (see Plex HTPC feedback - #775 by gbooker02 and later posts for details). Taking the video rendering out of Qt is what enables HDR, D3D11, Vulkan (eventually) and a whole host of significantly better video capabilities. So the choice comes down to this minor quirk vs vastly better video playback.
