Remove Title for JW Player 7 Display


Most of the titles we use in JW Platform are for admin use and not what we display with the videos we embed on our website. In order to update our version 6 player to 7, I need to know how to turn that feature off.

Hmm good point. I’m going to escalate this to product because I see what you’re saying. JW6 didn’t show the title, but 7 the title is showing and there’s no way to turn it off (except through the API: http://apidocs.jwplayer.com/methods/players/update.html). If you’d like me to turn your title off as a short term fix, please email the details to support@jwplayer.com

We are using the Drupal 6 plugin (super old) to post our videos to our website, so implementing the API tweak might be difficult.

It's simple to do by adding some CSS to the page:

#PLAYERID .jw-title{
display:none;
}

Where PLAYERID is the ID of your player container.

Sadly, its drupal, so I can't just add some css to the page. We are in the middle of a website update, so I can't really ask for any change at the moment anyway.

What I need is a checkbox option in the JW platform player configuration page. For us, this is also an example of why we use the platform instead of embedding the player manually. So we don't need to fiddle with the CSS or other parameters.

Just asking for a little love for us paying users of the platform :-)

A checkbox is a good suggestion, I will raise this as a feature request to our product team, thanks!

The default title state is now OFF, so problem solved. Thanks!
