I have a video player where I set ShowPlayerControls() to true. On windows this works fine and the controls appear beneath the video as you would expect. However, because this video player is designed to be cross platform, I try it on a Mac and despite the code being the same on both machines, the player controls (backended by QT I guess) never shows
Is there something special that I need to do on a mac to get the player controls to show?
I have also tried forcing QT backend on windows and again, there are no player controls. So I feel like the problem is more with quicktime

Which version are you using? The current docs say that the directshow and quicktime bnackends do support using the player controls, so it sounds like it is at least expected to be working. Are you passing anything for the flags parameter? What is the return value?
i have tried passing no flags, as well as passing all the different ones available (default, step etc) and they all give me the same result - no controls with QT backend, but directshow works OK
returning true when showing controls on QT backend, just no visible controls
I can post up a piece of sample code if you think it would help, but I dont think Im really doing anything special - just a simple player and calling the showplayercontrols() function in the middle

is there any consensus on this and whether its a bug in the way playercontrols work when using the QT backend?
