How can I hide the play button that's in the center of the video screen in JW Player?

I'm using version 5.4 of the player and I am embedding it using their own 'JW Embedder' technique.

I've tried the following with no luck:

jwplayer("myPlayer").setup({
   file: 'myMediaFile.mp4',
   image: 'myPosterFile.jpg',
   controlbar: 'bottom',
   icons: false
});

I've read somewhere that this may have been removed with version 5.0 and must now be done with a skin. But, I also read that it returned in version 5.1 ... ?

I came acros the same problem and the solution was to set:

'controlbar': "none"

Also, I'm using JW Player 5.5.

Ley me know if it worked out.
