Hi,

I am using JWPlayer to play youtube videos in app, i applied skin 'five' , it is getting applied in browser but when i open it in mobile on first load is showing youtube UI and on play video skin is getting applied. Why?
Setup options :
$scope.options = {
file: "YOUTUBE_VIDEO",
aspectratio : '16:9',
skin : 'five',
autostart : false,
controls : true,
primary : 'html5',
repeat : false,
width : '100%',
sharing : {},
flashplayer : 'jwplayer.flash.swf',
html5player : 'jwplayer.html5.min.js',
ga : {}
};
Thanks & Regards,
Snehal

You may want to try self hosting the skin maybe locally on the device and loading it via the application. In general using our JS library in a mobile application is not supported. But I believe the issue is as I described

Thanks for reply,

For self hosting where we get css files, so that we can use directly in application?
One more question, When video ends it shows black screen, how to stop JWplayer from turning black at the end of the video?

Actually, I tried custom css

skin : {
url:'css/five.css',
name:'five'
},

But it is giving error - "TypeError: a.skin.replace is not a function"
