Bugs rendering skins on iPad

JW Player — Apr 17, 2014 12:09PM EDT

There seem to be some bugs with skinning JWPlayer when viewed on an iPad running iOS7...

1. elapsedBackground flashes on and off (JW 6.6 running in Chrome for iPad)

http://jwplayer.undercon.co.uk/6.6-skin/

2. timeSliderCapLeft / timeSliderCapRight look mispositioned (JW 6.6 & 6.8 running in Safari or Chrome for iOS).

http://jwplayer.undercon.co.uk/6.6-skin/

http://jwplayer.undercon.co.uk/6.8-skin/

Please can you confirm if these are bugs with the player and advise when they might be fixed. The skin seems to work correctly in all desktop browsers.

Thanks,

Tim

What version of iOS7 and what device? Do you have screenshots as well?

Odd, does this only happen with your custom skin though?

It looks like there is a slight alignment issue even with the standard skin on JW 6.6 (http://jwplayer.undercon.co.uk/screenshot-3.png) but it doesn't happen on JW 6.8

The only major difference between the custom skin and others is that it's using a transparent background image for the control bar. All images in the control bar are the same height (42px) so not why the issues are occuring.

I've zipped the skin up for download on the link below. Would you mind looking through this and letting me know if there is an issue with the skin or the player please?

Did you create this skin off of any of ours as a base/template?

Yes I used the skin found here as a base and removed a few elements / changed the images.

This SDK should probably be updated. If you want the updated version of the six skin, email me – ethan [at] jwplayer [dot] com. The skin in this sdk is from JW 6.0, and the skinning model has changed a bit since then.
