Anyone know how to always display control bar in html5 video?
 

As per title, I want the control bar to stay visible instead of fading out after a few seconds of the video playing :thumbsup

current code:

<video poster="blah.jpg" controls>
<source src="blah.mp4" type='video/mp4'></source>
<source src="blah.ogv" type='video/ogg'></source>
<source src="blah.webm" type='video/webm'></source>
<source src="blah.flv" type='video/flv'></source>
</video>

googled to no avail, tried adding "true" after controls, but pissing in the wind by guessing, can it be done, and if so, how?

are you using an actual html5 player? or just the built in browser one?

built in browser

Try
controls="true"

EDIT* See you tried that

ha, the above I posted looks wrong anyways. Looks like those methods are for JavaScript.

Here's just the video tag http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp

Maybe try controls before poster? Not sure if it matters which comes first. If I look at the poster attribute here controls is before it http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_poster.asp

thanks mate, still can't get it to force the control bar to stay visible though >< Got a feeling it isn't possible in standard html5, though can't find anywhere that even confirms that lol :D

though http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_controls.asp pretty much indicates it isn't a variable function I guess
