Ooyala video player (iOS): how to ALWAYS hide video control?

Question

I use Ooyala video player in my project, and I need to have my own video control, so I need a way to hind its built-in video control, I found that the OOOoyalaPlayerViewController has method showControls, but the control appears when you tap the video, so is there a way to explicitly hide the controls? I've tried subclassing OOOoyalaPlayerViewController and overwrite showControls to do nothing but it did not work.

Thanks!

If you are creating custom controls, you probably want to use an OOOoyalaPlayer directly versus going through the OOOoyalaPlayerViewController- all the viewcontroller does is add controls on top of the player.

If you must use an OOOoyalaPlayerViewController, try subclassing OOControlsViewController and overwriting - (void)onTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender. The source for this is bundled with our SDK.
