Next and Previous buttons + Playlist

Ethan LongTail said to me >

why ?

If you click fullscreen, the player has a menu where it is practical with a next and previous button

you can not see the playlist in fullscreen,
then to select the next, one must first go back to normal screen,

with next and previous buttons, you can do this in fullscreen.

can we get next and previous buttons back
while visible playlist in 5.8 ?

( or an opportunity to do this in flasvars )

right now I must use version 5.6 where i is possible

Regard Vimse

We'll look into exposing the buttons for fullscreen.

I am using this great jwplayer with swfobject embed code and have no option in that hiding the playlist. This means that when using 5.8 I am missing the possibility to show or hide the previous and next buttons.

Even when the playlist is visible, I would like to use these buttons. Even though it sounds slightly redundant, it is really a comfortable use of the player. As you do not manually have to scroll through the playlist to select the item to play. You can just click prev/next to select the item.

I would really appreciate it if the buttons will be coming back in the player by default and have the skin controlling wheter or not you want to display them.

A little extra investigation and testing show me that I can hide the playlist using the SWFOBJECT method, even though I read in one of the forum article it was not possible. But still I would like to have the buttons regardless having the playlist enabled or not.

If you keep this feauture 'unchanged' in the software then I would recommend to add this to the documentation where the playlist function is explained. As it was really hard to find why I did not have the buttons (prev and next) in the player.

it is totally not redundant having a playlist AND the buttons, hopefully you guys put them back soon, thanks

Could you please add the option to enable the next/prev buttons with the playlist. Without going into a long explanation, for my project the next/prev buttons are 'complimentary' rather than redundant.

Thanks for the great player!

They'll be reintroduced with the next player update.
