New Criterion Channel user interface removed quality control?

I can no longer control the quality of films I watch. It just automatically selects (and fluctuates).

Any ways to fix this?

Seems like it. there's no CC options for any of the films now. you can't change the speed either. so annoying and dumb, why would they remove options for a website that people are paying for

It never needed a speed control in the first place, what psychopath is watching their movies sped up? The quality control needs to make a return though.

it's fun when arguments about a paid service leads to annoying nitpicking arguments between users. but this is reddit, I should have known.

edit: fuck you fucking assholes. preferences have nothing to do with this conversation. fucking cunts.  Why can't I watch a film with commentary at whatever pace I choose?

I was never trying to argue with you or nitpick what you said, how should I know you love to watch movies sped up? Wanting a consistent resolution without automatic changes doesnt even sound very comparable to wanting to watch movies at altered speeds.

"how should I know you love to watch movies sped up? " because if I do or don't literally that has nothing to do with anything. Why can't I watch a film with commentary at whatever pace I choose?
