How to get the controlbar to show permanently under the video for jwplayer 7
When you search for this topic you get lots of results, most of them useless and many of them apply to version 6.
I can get the controlbar to show permanently with this css statement:
.jw-skin-seven .jw-controlbar{display:block !important;}
But it shows overlaid on the video. The only way I have been able to show it under the video is by increasing the height of the player by the double height of the controlbar. This results in a black bar at the top of the video, which does not look good. Is there a way to do this short of building your own controlbar (which is a lot of trouble for something that ought to be a standard option)?
I have tried using a negative bottom position or a negative bottom margin on the controlbar style, but it will not show outside of the player box. Putting "overflow: auto" or on the player div doesn't have any effect.
Any ideas anyone?
