Create a custom controll bar?

Hi.

I'm new at JWplayer and would like to create my own player and need to know where to start. Is there a way to create a control bar using buttons like play/pause, mute, etc?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use the javascript API to call most functions:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-player/docs/javascript-api-reference/

The hardest thing will be to your player to go to fullscreen programmatically as the browsers sometimes block programatic fullscreen.

Here’s a test page where I use html sliders to control the player volume:

Thanks for the answer.

This is for use as an audio player so I don't have to worry about fullscreen.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like I have control set to false and then I create JS to control the player in order to get the player I want?

Thanks again.

Pretty much, setting controls to false will ensure our controls don’t appear. You would then be free to customize as you please

I set control to false but it just hides the player, there's no way to remove the control bar and use my JS code to control the player?
