How to hide scrubber bar on live


We would like to hide the scrubber bar when the content is live, but we want it in VOD so we can't use the same custom skin for both.

Is there any configuration option to do that?

We noticed that using a Premiun subscription it doesn't happen, the scrubber bar doesn't show when the content is live. But we have an Enterprise subscription (and we need to use it because we need AES decryption) and we're using JWPlayer 6.10

Hi -

You can simply use the setControls method to disable/enable the controls during playback.

var isLive = true;
jwplayer().onPlay(function() {
if(isLive) jwplayer().setControls(false);
});

Best Regards,
Cooper

Thanks for your answer but...we need the controls enabled during the playback. That is not an option

There is no way to only hide the scrubbar with JavaScript. You can try achieving this by creating a custom skin and removing all of the `timeSlider` nodes in the XML file.

We removing all timeSlider element in the skin xml file, but the timeSlider not hide.
We need a hint or another option to hide the timeSlider.
