Hide controlbar after autoplay


Hello,

I want to autoplay my video without control bar, how it is possible? It only disappear after mouseover.

<script>
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXX",
image: "/uploads/myPoster.jpg",
width: "560",
height: "315",
autostart: "true",
showicons: "false",
showdigits: "false",
controlbar: "none",
'controlbar.idlehide': "true"
});
</script>

Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards

This is actually a bug that we need to fix. In JW6 the variable is actually controls though, and false hides all of them.
