  • GESTURE DRIVE PLAYBACK CONTROL FOR CHROMELESS MEDIA PLAYERS
    Publication number: 20140178047
    Abstract: Disclosed are configurations for controlling media using a chromeless media player. Gestures performed on a touch sensitive screen are used to modify the behavior of the media player. In one embodiment, a gesture recognizer recognizes a gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen. The behavior of a media player is modified based on the recognized gesture. For example, a tap gesture may toggle a playback state (play/pause) of the media player, a pinch gesture may display a seek screen, a scrub gesture may change the playback time of the media player, etc.
