There's already a control bar on some video files if you hover your mouse over them (It depends which code path is triggered. It happens on videos with big enough thumbnails that they aren't opened in a new window. This is true for most image pages). I'm unclear on what specifically you are objecting to on audio files. Are you not liking the "Menu" button? --bawolff _______________________________________________ Multimedia mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
