Prior versions worked differently without the child windows. However it was a severe architectural limitation (see [Plex HTPC feedback - #775 by gbooker02](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-htpc-feedback/703205/775) 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.
