Jwplayer fullscreen - on clicking the custom button in IE8

Question

I want to make jwplayer to fullscreen when I click on my own custom button "Fullscreen".

I am aware of jwplayer().setFullscreen(true); but it is not supported in IE8.

I have also tried AngularFullScreen but it will also not support in IE8.

Is there any way to do this in IE8?

Thanks in Advance.

IE8 doesn't support it natively. SO knows about dirty hacks to do it. #464832 – Neo

@Neo : Thanks for answering. dirty hacks will also work, please add those as answer :P – Rejuvenate

Answer 1

IE8 doesn't support software switch to fullscreen. You have to emulate F11 key press. Check this topic: Internet Explorer full screen mode?

@hitesh Sorry, I don't know any more. I have luck to leave all deprecated stuff unsupported :) – Neo

Answer 2

You can not. Because of a security limitation it is not possible to set fullscreen from outside of the flash player, not in Jwplayer, not in flowplayer. Sorry...

Answer 3

press f11 programatically by calling this function

function max() {
    var wscript = new ActiveXObject("Wscript.shell");
    wscript.SendKeys("{F11}");
}
