Hi,
Is it possible to stop showing the jwplayer control bar on hover and bring it to bottom, Since often times control bar is overlaying the subtitles and it is not clearly visible
for example - if I want to reduce player volume and still want to see the video subtitle, but control bar hides subtitle and I can not view the video
Is this possible in jwplayer 6.7
Thanks
It is not possible to set the controlbar to bottom, sorry.
if it is not possible to set the controlbar to botttom, maybe it will be possible to do this:

the trick I did was to use one of the jwplayer custom skins, such as "Glow" which I believe is the default, load that into your player like so:
```
jwplayer(domSelector).setup
file: fileToPlay
flashplayer: '/assets/swf/jwplayer.flash.swf'
skin: '/assets/skins/jwplayer.xml'
```
and in jwplayer.xml, change the margin's to accommodate the captions.
Cool, can I see where you did that?
Ethan:
here's a jsfiddle i made: http://jsfiddle.net/M2YNG/2/
you'll notice the skin i'm passing in, if you curl that, in the control bar component node, i've changed the margin drastically. toying around with that, you can move it enough to avoid visual collision with captions, for example using a negative margin.
Ah, very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Cool !!! Thanks for sharing :)
Will this work for flash too ?
I was just wondering, if it is possible to do some manipulation for caption
Instead of change the margin of the jwplayer controlbar component, can I change in captionbar component and change margin for caption bar but I am not able to find the captionbar component here in xml file

Where I need to change in xml file to change the margin of caption ?
Thanks
It is only in the controlbar, the margins can’t be changed.
