How do I disable auto-hiding the control bar
By default, Bitmovin's player controls auto-hide after 5 seconds. To keep the controls visible permanently, you will need to override certain key CSS styles used by the player.
As of player versions 7.0+, the styles to override are:
1.bmpui-controls-hidden {2 all: unset !important;3}45.bmpui-ui-controlbar.bmpui-hidden {6 visibility: unset !important;7 opacity: unset !important;8}910.bmpui-ui-titlebar.bmpui-hidden {11 visibility: unset !important;12 opacity: unset !important;13}
This will keep both the control bar, and the currently playing video metadata (title and description) from auto-hiding.
Other styles can be overriden in a similar fashion. Please see Player UI CSS Class Reference for a full reference.
