title: How to immediately hide control bar on either JWPlayer or FlowPlayer as video starts
body: <p>I have a video that I need to immediately start playing when my page has loaded (that's the easy part).</p>
  
  <p>I can also set the video control bar to 'auto-hide' but I'd like it to be initially invisibile because it looks really messy on top of the video as it starts.</p>
  
  <p>(I also my own buttons corresponding to 'sections' in the video but I'd still like people to see a progress bar if they rollover).</p>
  
  <p>I've tried looking at both JWPlayer and Flowplayer and both have auto-hiding control bars, but they both display on startup.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to not initially show the control bar in either of these players - or some other player?</p>
