This is exactly what Im looking for, a controlbar right at the bottom that will auto-hide too. Longtail show this exactly as described with the controlbar in there demo video player on the JW Player for Flash & HTML5 page which can be seen at this url; http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/

Using the over code and having a controlbar that hides part way up a video does not meet everyones needs. Please can someone HELP!

Paul hope this helps you out.


I have just worked out how to alter the positions so the controlbar will remain at the bottom of the video-player but still fade/hide when the controlbar is set to over of most if not all of the controlbar skins that are available within the Skins library.

To do this open the .xml file that comes with the skin with any text editor. Look down under component name="controlbar and look for the setting named margin see (Example A).

(Example A)
<components>
<component name="controlbar">
<settings>
<setting name="backgroundcolor" value="0x444444" />
<setting name="margin" value="20" />


Change the value from whatever it is to, to 0 As shown in (Example B) see below;

<setting name="margin" value="0" />

Once changed, save the .xml file and re zip all the folders including the xml file so you have a new zip file and which will replace the old one.

Thats it job don just upload to server.
