Command Center Video Plays, and I Can't Stop It.

I was having an issue with the Linear Phase Multi-band Installations in the Command Center. When I clicked Install, a video played (or at least the audio with a blank white video area). This went on while Command Center was scanning versions of installations. I could not stop the video. I had no access to pause it until the scanning was done. Very annoying, especially because it auto-played, an awful tactic media outlets use online. In fact, it's still playing in the background while I'm typing this. I had to kill Command Center to stop it.

    For me, this video clip is not disturbing, it's just for the two first products and it describes what you are downloading. It plays in the download window and the orange bar at the bottom allows me to continue when I click on it at any time.

    Personally, I find any auto-play videos annoying. That sort of thing was annoying when installing X1, back when it had an audio clip play on Setup that nobody expects, and it was super loud. Marketing may think it's the coolest thing, but it's not cool if it's unexpected.

    I don't mind videos, I just really, REALLY don't like them to play without my starting them, and in this case, I had to kill the CCC during its scan to stop it. It's a huge pet-peeve of mine, up there next to Spam email.

    I had the video continue to play in background after the install finished (or maybe I canceled it, can't remember).  It was very annoying.  It finally stopped when I installed something else in CCC (without an autoplay video like the new plugins). 
     
    I don't think any video should ever autoplay/autostart.  I also think that when the current install is finished/exited/canceled they need to correctly stop the video playback.  But if they would fix the PRV alignment issue I could live with the borked Command Center.

    The videos in CCC are played with the standard YouTube player. When you move the mouse over the video, you can stop it in the bottom left corner.
     
    But I agree, it's bad style to start videos automatically.
