How to get the JW Player to work with no buttons at all?

I have designed a player for a showcase where the only Play/Pause button is the <b>playIcon</b> in the middle of the screen.

I have removed all the rest of the buttons and increased the tracker/scrub to fill the control area. Having maintained the <b>playButton</b> instance on the <b>playIcon</b> it still doesn't work...

Could you help me please?

You should set the controlbar flashvar to none.

Though, if you want a buffer, or anything else, you willhave to delete it from the source and recompile the player.

Hope that helps!

Steven,

Here's a tutorial on FlashVars for the JW Player:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Embedding-Flash

Basically, depending on how you embed the player code in your HTML you will add a variable called controlbar, and set its value to none. So, for instance:

either:

flashvars="file=playlist.xml&autostart=true&controlbar=none"

or:

so.addParam('flashvars','file=playlist.xml&autostart=true&controlbar=none');

If you want to include your HTML embed code here I can show you where to add the flashvar.
