Looks like the player controls “Auto-hide.” You can take a look at the ESPN 3 plugin’s site config…  
  
  
  
you should be able to incorporate the tag/command and get it going:  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
or maybe a “double-click”:

ok  
  
wow just spent about 8 hours working on both apps  
  
  
  
ok i fine tuned a bunch. made the titles better, gave it some descriptions. and changed the graphics. VBS is almost done  
  
  
  
but i still cant get the thing to respond to commands.  
  
  
  
it pauses now, but wont come unpaused. and when it does pause you have to hit the spacebar twice fast ( my remote is in the living room )  
  
  
  
the other thing i want to try and figure out is the “full screen” button. can we make it click that alos on startup?  
  
  
  
I attached the bundle this time.  
  
  
  
the site config still looks like the other one. and is included in the bundle  
  
( ignore the extra images in resources )  
  
  
  
okkkk nevermind, it wont attach…

so i am still having issues with the player not responding. and i cant seem to narrow it down.  
  
  
  
also certain videos dont play, and others do.  
  
  
  
some investigation leads me to beleive the ones that have an ad start immediatly are the ones that dont play.

This app is pretty much finished so i made a thread for it specifically.  
  
  
  
im still having issues with the progress bar, but from reading the forum it seems thats a common issue sometimes.  
  
  
  
oh, and BE WARNED  
  
  
  
somehow during coding, my plex media server database got corrupted. so i had to re-install. i lost all my current plugin changes ( only as of today ). it was really frustrating.   
  
  
  
also i had to go back threw my 15 movies to fix the scrape names.  
  
  
  
sooooo back it up. before you do major changes.
