iOS after fullscreen jwplayer blocks all elements


Hi, I'm creating an web application in which the user selects 1 of 5 videos from a slider / dock. It all works great on desktop and mobile initially.

On the iPhone / iPad, I select a video from my "dock", it preloads a title and some text and allows me to press play. iOS device goes into fullscreen mode and plays fine.

However, when returning from fullscreen, it seems as if jwplayer is overlay'ing all other elements, as if it occupies the full height and width of the page. It's no longer possible to select another video or even use the hamburger menu from the header... I can't seem to force it to the background, not with z-indexes even. What to do? Uninitialize the jwplayer().setup? Is there a way to do that, of force is back to poster / movie still mode?
