JW7 Always show controls


Hello,

I have JW player 7, is there a ways to always show the controlbar even up pageload? Is there a CSS change available?

Thank you,

Hi, there.

The controls should be showing the controls when the player loads as default. Can you please give me a link to a page where you have the affected player installed?

Hi alex,

Here are a couple of examples with audio playlist (please ignore the video which is first in both examples):

This is with jw7. Upon load, no controls until you touch. On a phone, never see the playlist button, etc.

His is with jw6. Works fine on a PC, on a phone, tablet, very difficult or impossible to move the playlist menu. When you try, the whole screen moves.

Hi!

I was able to get it the controlbar to appear on load by adding .jwplayer.jw-state-idle .jw-controlbar {display: table;} to your <style> block in the <head> of your document.

Please let me know if you need any more help or have any other questions.

Thank you!

Your solution work's great except that on a small phone, the playlist never appears even when you touch it. It works fine on wider screens like tablets. I believe the narrow screen is preventing the control bar from showing. Any other code to fix this? Thank you!

Hello adding .jwplayer.jw-state-idle .jw-controlbar {display: table;} css shows the control bar but if you have player with a playlist, for playlist items with multiple sources the "HD toggle" button is hidden with CSS. If you make it visible with CSS it does not have all the sources render in it until user clicks play on the player.

Is there a way for the "HD toggle" button to render correctly when showing the player control bar through the CSS update?
