Is there a way to show/hide the video controls on the videojs player at runtime (e.g. player.controls.hide()).
Any ideas how to do this? Thanks!

Use player.userActive(false) to hide the controls. You can also listen to useractive and userinactive events on the player to respond to the player's natural showing and hiding of controls.
