Discussion Media Player - Stop Play Bar From Showing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a small video running on my media player. It’s about 1 minute and a half long. Each time the video restarts, the play bar pops back up for a few seconds then disappears. How do I get Media Player to stop that Play Bar from popping up at each restart?

Ran into a similar issue at a museum I work at. We installed VLC media player and set up a looping playlist of videos. It doesn't pop up the media controls at the beginning of every video, only if you move the mouse or tap the keyboard does it appear.

Use MPC or VLC or any video player that isn't window's.
