Focusable web player controls - arc. - 2024-12-24

Hi,

Is it possible to have the web client player controls (e.g. play/pause) be focusable like tabindex?

Someone from my household can only use eye tracking to interact with their PC and I would like them to be able to use Jellyfin. I'm already 99% of the way there: the only thing they can't do is interact with the media player. The eye tracking software (TD Control) only runs on a web client, so Jellyfin on a Chromium browser is the only option. The tracking software appears to only offer focusable objects as an option for the user to select, hence my question.

if you go to Settings > Display > Display Mode and change it to TV, does it make it focusable then?

Perfect! That solved my problem. Thank you very much, Ted.

For future reference in case anyone is interested: by setting the display mode to TV and adding the following custom CSS (though it could do with some work) to prevent the controls disappearing (Original source: Zedt.eu), the controls should be accessible to people with Tobii eye tracking products:

/* permanently show player controls */
.osdHeader:hover,
.videoOsdBottom:hover {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

.osdHeader,
.videoOsdBottom {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}
/* fix for player controls overlapping 'next video' panel */
.upNextContainer {
  z-index: 5;
}
