Hi,
I was wondering when a video player is first played on a site, can it just play a video with no controls(the bar that has play, stop, playlist buttons, etc.). The video takes up the entire space of the control when it is played. But say a user click on top of the video, the controls appear. And when they leave the area they click on, the controls disappear and once again, the video plays fully in the control. Is that possible?
Thank you,
KP

Hello Kavita,
One way is to change RadMediaPlayer's ControlTemplate thus removing the controls.
The other way is much shorter. As soon as the Page loads, you can set the RadMediaPlayer.IsFullScreen to true. This way, every time the user enters RadMediaPlayer with his/her mouse the controls will appear. As soon as he/she leaves, the controls will disappear.
I have created a sample project demonstrating this functionality. Have a look at it and let me know how it works for you.

Kiril,
When I run your example it works great with one major exception. You state that "every time the user enters RadMediaPlayer with his/her mouse the controls will appear". This isn't working in my code or yours. Any thoughts?
I should be more specific here. When I start my SL page with the RadMediaPlayer in it, the controls show and work fine. When I click on the Full Screen icon, it goes to full screen and the controls all disappear. Once I mouse over it, the controls don't return. The only way to get them to come back is to exit full screen. Interestingly enough, it works on the Silverlight demo page. Perhaps you can look at the code there? Your help is appreciated!

Hi John,
The problem was that we hide/show the buttons when you move the mouse over the MediaElement (The video placeholder), not the whole player. I've attached a project with the functionality you needed. You can change button states in different scenarios, so show/hide them wherever you want to.
Let us know If you have any other questions or problems.
All the best,
