Hide a video view

After a MediaPlayer view has been used to play video, you can hide it and display it again by using a TVSDK method or manually.

You must pause a video before clearing it or moving it from the display.

• Option 1: Clear the video frame with MediaPlayer.clearVideo​ and replace the frame later.
  • Pause the video that you want to hide.
  • Remove the displayed video frame by calling MediaPlayer.clearVideo.
  • To reset the MediaPlayer so that it can be played again, call replaceCurrentResource or replaceCurrentItem.
• Option 2: Move the MediaPlayer view off the screen and move it back later without having to replace it.

  • Pause the video that you want to hide.

  • Move the view out of the stage. For example:

    view.x = -300; 
    view.y = -300;
    

  • To display the video again, move the view back into the stage.
