Hiding and showing the controllers

[Novak, Alexey]

It looks pretty decent to be honest even with captions jumping up and down... although, sad to mention, that positioning is not stable. Couple of times I managed to make captions appear right beneath the controller bar.
Also all labels are shown beneath the controller bar as well, maybe it is the time to use z-index for the alts?
If we are going to use this branch maybe we need to position captions a little bit higher so that when you use UIO captions do not overlap with the controller bar.

Ugh.. captionator positioning is a real pain.
The creator finally contacted me, wondering if he could make changes in his code to use em instead of points or fix the positioning somehow :S

Subject: Hiding and showing the controllers

Hi,

I've just pushed a branch to my repo which hides and shows the controllers on mouse over.  https://github.com/michelled/videoPlayer/tree/FLUID-4619

There are a couple bugs in this interaction right now that aren't trivial to fix.

1) The captions don't slide with the controllers - instead they jump up and down. I think the best solution to this is to change the way the styling on the captions is done. This is actually quite a bit of work and probably involves forking Captionator.

2) When navigating with the keyboard, the controllers show when the video gets focus but they don't hide after tabbing away from the video player. The issue here is that when the video loses focus, it's because the first controller gets focus. At this point we obviously don't want to hide the controllers. What I need to know when the next thing after the video player gets focus. Perhaps this is a case for deadMansBlur?

I'm not sure if this branch is currently an improvement of the demo branch. Could someone please review the interaction and let me know what you think?

Thanks,

Michelle
