Is there any way to pause the Plex HTPC player and NOT show the progress bar each time?

I would like to be able to pause my video and have no menu/controls on screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This will work, but may have unintended consequences (e.g., while controls may not be visible, they may still be actionable). You’ll be working blind until you turn it back on, because hiding it does not mean removing it.

As lua script:

function hidePLEXUI()
	mp.commandv("script-message-to", "main", "plex-ui-show", "false")
	mp.osd_message("PlexUI Off")
end
function showPLEXUI()
	mp.commandv("script-message-to", "main", "plex-ui-show", "true")
	mp.osd_message("PlexUI On")
end
mp.add_forced_key_binding("m", "hidePLEXUI", hidePLEXUI)
mp.add_forced_key_binding("M", "showPLEXUI", showPLEXUI)

As input mappings:

"F1": "mpv:script-message-to main plex-ui-show true",
"F2": "mpv:script-message-to main plex-ui-show false",

Make sure that you map to keys that do not conflict with others in your JSON.
