Hi Folivision Team,
Is there a way to hide the video playbar when the video is paused?
Thanks!

Hello Devin,
does it cover an important part of the video? If so, then I would recommend the Settings -> FV Player -> Sitewide FV Player Defaults -> Controlbar Always Visible option.
However I see that it won’t help in fullscreen, so perhaps we should fix that.
Thanks,
MartinHi Martin,
Thanks for the reply. It does cover up an important part of the video…would there be any way to add an option in the future for hiding the control bar on video pause? I really like the lower profile look of the video player without Control Bar Always Visible but it does cover up a section at the bottom on video pause. I’ve just received feedback from a few students on my site that are pausing the video to work on sections of my lessons with the guitar tablature at the bottom of the player, but the playbar covers up the tablature on video pause. I really love the new features and design of the video player though. It all looks really great. Not a huge deal, but figured I’d ask anyways. Could be helpful for other music teachers using fvplayer.
Thanks!
DevinHello Devin,
the new AB loop bar design which we have been promising for a while solves this issue – once activated both control bar and ab loop bar appear below the video – not covering anything. Same in fullscreen.
Thanks,
MartinHey Martin,
Would it only go below the video when the AB Loop is activated? If so, would there be a way to add some js that, when the AB Loop isn’t activated, and when the video is paused, people could hide the control bar on click outside of the video frame? I like the default look of the player now, and it totally makes sense to have the play bar visible when the video is paused. I might be one of the few that would need this functionality…I noticed YouTube’s playbar acts the same way. If it isn’t possible, maybe I could figure out how to add some custom js in my child theme.
Thanks again,
Devin
Hi Devin,
Player appearance right now is a moving target. We’re working on adding more functionality to the timeline and some options in terms of how and where the timeline appears will turn up soon (next three or four months).
We deeply appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind while we develop the next generation interface.
Hi Alec,
Sounds good, I definitely understand. Thanks for the reply. I’m really looking forward to the improved AB loop bar and everything else you all have in the works.
Hope y’all have a great weekend –
Devin
