Video pop out doesn't work with netflix yet?

Just a quick question, is it just me or isn't the video pop out feature bugging with Netflix? The pop out window stays black and if you want to fast forward in the pop out screen, the normal (big) window gives you a netflix error (Whoops, something went wrong... Unexpected Error. There was an unexpected error. Please reload the page and try again).

It's not important, because I don't really use this feature, but I am wondering.

Yeah so I came here looking for this. I wanted to popout netflix, and it doesn't work.

As a workaround:

1. Open up a new window with netflix with minimal toolbars. Type the following into the address bar to do this:
   javascript:window.open('https://www.netflix.com/watch/81012418?trackId=200257859','netflix','toolbar=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, scrollbars=no, titlebar=no, status=no');

2. Set that window to be "Always On Top".
   I prefer doing this with the program Autohotkey. More ways to do this: https://www.howtogeek.com/196958/the-3-best-ways-to-make-a-window-always-on-top-on-windows/

Note about step 1: A window without any toolbars looks minimal in Chrome. So you get most of the window area for the video.
