Hide Play Button

JW Player — Apr 04, 2014 09:08AM EDT

hi, i want to be able to remove the play button after the video has started playing, meaning that i want the button to appear at the start when the video is not started by the user, but once it is started, when a user pauses a video, i don't want it to appear! is it possible? please i really need this! i only want this for the PLAY button in the middle no other buttons!

also if possible is there a way to hide the controlbar in FULLSCREEN mode if the video is paused? i still want it to show in fullscreen but only when the mouse hovers the hidden controlbar area, like some of the other great player! thanks this would be awesome if possible!

Hi,

I use JWPlayer 5.

I also wanted to hide the Play arrow that appears in the middle of the screen when player is paused.

Users often pause the player to examine a schema, diagram, or somewhat else, and in that case, this arrow (though transparent) may hide some image details.

Thanks

Lucien

I precise that I added "icons" variable in embedded code, without any effect :

<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="400" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="icons" value="false" />
<param name="flashvars" value="bufferlength=10&streamer=rtmp://test-balancer2.local/vod&file=mp4:<?php echo $_GET['fichier']; ?>" />
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
id="player2"
name="player2"
src="player.swf"
width="400"
height="315"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
icons="false"
flashvars="bufferlength=10&streamer=rtmp://test-balancer2.local/vod&file=mp4:<?php echo $_GET['fichier']; ?>"
/>
</object>

OK, I just saw that "icons" variable was disabled in 5.0 version, and reenabled since 5.1.781 dev version.
(I tested it with success with 5.1.823 version).

But "icons" variable must be specified in flashvars line like following :

<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="400" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="icons" value="false" />
<param name="flashvars" value="bufferlength=10&streamer=rtmp://blablabla&icons=false" />
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
id="player2"
name="player2"
src="player.swf"
width="400"
height="315"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
icons="false"
flashvars="bufferlength=10&streamer=rtmp://blablabla&icons=false"
/>
</object>

Hope this functionality will be soon available again in 5.0 stable version . . .

Thanks

Lucien
