If you are disabling the controls, you would need to build your own HTML buttons that could then be used to play or pause the player. The play() and pause() events will toggle the state of the player if you do not pass a boolean value, so something here’s a basic example of what I mean:

<input type=button value=“Play / Pause” onClick=“jwplayer().play();”>

If you wanted two separate buttons, it would be something like:

<input type=button value=“Play” onClick=“jwplayer().play(true);”> <input type=button value=“Pause” onClick=“jwplayer().pause(true);”>

Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1413089-javascript-api-reference for more details on the API events.

Hi

What I need is start the player without control button, with only play/pause option.

After first full watch, I need enable back and show control buttons (that I'm doing with cookie).

This scenario working great with YouTube movies, but doesn't work on streaming and local movies.

Thank you

That code example should be working with all video types. Can you send me a link to a page where it is not?

My suggestion for the other stuff would be to do the following:

1) Disable the controls in the player
2) Use an external button that the user can press to play/pause, as I have already demonstrated
3) In our API’s onComplete() event, have a custom function that displays a Replay button, which is essentially calling jwplayer().seek(0) to start the video over

Hi
Yes I understand option with adding external play/pause button.
I still try to stick to the option using build in options.

You can find three examples, in this page:
