Description

The default behavior of TI.Media.VideoPlayer on Android shows no control on start. Users have to click the video to bring up the control. Here is a test case:

var vidWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title : 'Video View Demo',
    backgroundColor : '#fff'
});

var videoPlayer = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
    top : 2,
    autoplay : true,
    backgroundColor : 'blue',
    height : 300,
    width : 300,
    mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
    scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
});

videoPlayer.url = 'clipcanvas_14348_H264_640x360.mp3';
vidWin.add(videoPlayer);
vidWin.open();

Note: This behavior is noticed only when playing MP3 files.

I'm not so sure if this is a "bug". There's nothing in the documentation and based on current implementation, the behavior is by design.

I am having this problem right now. In my case, controls (seek bar) does not show and a black screen appear on start of Ti.Media.VideoPlayer. I want to get rid of that black screen.
