Autostarting on page load with hidden controls (JW7)
On the JW Player support site is this article about “Autostarting on Page Load”: http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1428525-autostarting-on-page-load
The video starts with visible controls but they won’t auto-hide until you hover over it for the first time. It would be nicer if the auto-hiding works right from the beginning without the need of a first hovering. The same behavior appear on my own testing page: http://temp.juergwaldmeier.ch/test
Is this a bug or a feature?
Is there even a way with JW7 that on an autostart the controls are hidden and then only show up when the user hovers over the video?
