Someone here mentioned Voddler. I've seen a few, but I can't recall. Some of
our content producers have requested this too but we've not provided them
with this feature.

 

Can you give me a good reason/case for not having a simple method (with no
side effects) to make a poster visible/invisible?

Silvia,

 

How do you supposed the case I mentioned earlier (where when the video is
paused the poster is shown) will work with load()?


For the pause state you will have to use the onpause event to make any
changes. But to be honest, I doubt anyone would want to show the poster in
pause state. I have not seen that anywhere yet and I have come across a
sizeable number of video sites. Can you point to a single one that currently
loads a poster image when you press pause?

Regards,
Silvia.
