iOS Native Controls

We are migrating our iOS app from another video player to JWPlayer. The app uses the native iOS SDK. Our app already has a custom controls view with all the play/pause buttons, etc. and these controls will manually interact with the JWPlayer through the appropriate method calls.

I am able to load and start playing a video, but when that happens, the video player becomes the "top" view on the screen and our controls are always hidden behind the video player. No matter what I do, I cannot move the video player behind the controls. I've put the video player inside a child view that is behind our controls view. I have also tried using sendSubviewToBack, but that didn't do anything.

What do I need to do in order to display a custom view over top of the JWPlayer?
