Hide Playlist Icon

The web player generated with PlayerDIY Web Player in default has a playlist icon on control bar, with which you could check the playlist at any time, no matter what is the setting about the playlist (When the value of “video list style” is none, playlist icon won’t show on control bar).

However, if don’t like the playlist could be checked at any time, you could choose to use a player skin which has no playlist icon on control bar, or just hide the playlsit icon.

The demo with playlist icon hidden:

There are two easy ways are available to hide the playlist icon: 1. customzing a player has no playlist icon with PlayerDIY Web Player; 2. Inserting a line of flashvars code into the embed code of a existed player.

  • PlayerDIY Web Player
  • Flashvars Code
Hiding playlist icon on control bar with PlayerDIY Web Player is very simple to achieve, all you need to do is checking the “Hide playlist button” option on the following interface.


With flashvars code to hide the playlist icon, the embed code would be as below:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent" align="center"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('mwplayer.swf','player','500','450','9');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addParam('quality','high');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('flashvars','playerOpts=noWatchBtn*true*b');
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

The line of the red code is the flashvars code for hiding the playlist icon. Get more information about flashvars code.
