Hi there. Is it possible to hide/remove the ‘skip advert in’ message for video adverts?
I am using them pre/post roll and don’t want them skipped and want to clean up the playback screen.
Also, is it possible to also hide the progress bar at the bottom of the video?
Thanks.

Hi Kerry,
The possibility of skipping ads is in the ad tag itself, not in the player settings. Try to acquire a non-skippable tag from your ad network.
As for the progress bar, you can either remove it from a video and keep the play button and sound controls by adding live=”true”, or you can keep a minimal progress bar and remove the play button, time and sound controller by adding controlbar=”no” (that can be also set in the shortcode editor).
Thanks,
EduardThese are in reference to video ads I am adding myself – in the video ads tab. I could set ‘Enter the number of seconds after which an ad can be skipped.’ to 120 seconds – but still get that notice at the bottom right of the screen – it’s that notice I want to remove altogether.
Understanding regarding the progress bar – I guess what I am really after is a control bar that works like vimeo, youtube, VLC and other player where after a couple of seconds it fades out of the way – so you can still control the video (back/forward/pause/play) but not have a moving graphic element permanently at the bottom of the video.
Hi Kerry,
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant VAST ads. Yes, you can restrict the skipping by setting the time as you described. The time counter that indicates the end of the ad can’t be removed in settings, but you could hide it in CSS. Use this code:
.flowplayer.is-cva .fv-cva-time { display: none; !important }There is a way to remove absolutely everything from the player: just add both controlbar=”no” and live=”true” and check Disable Embed Button along with Disable Sharing in Settings -> FV Player -> Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults. You can see the result in this demo. The user can use the keyboard shortcuts (they appear after pressing “?“) to control the video playback.
Thanks,
EduardWorking. But the “?” information popup seems to be a bit hit or miss…
Hi Kerry,
Well, all the shortcuts work only when the mouse pointer is inside the player window, or in fullscreen.
Thanks,
Eduard
