Flash Player controls not visible for videos in pre-HTML5 browsers without fullscreen or right-click

Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Procure multiple video filetypes, such as avi, flv, ogv, mp4, wmv
2. Start liferay portal on a nonHTML5 browser (IE 6, 7, 8 for example)
3. Deploy Documents & Media portlet
4. Navigate to Control Panel > Server Administration > File Uploads
5. Change Documents & Media Filesize limit to accommodate your on-hand video files
6. Navigate to Server Administration > External Services
7. Enable Xuggler
8. Navigate to Documents & Media within the Control Panel
9. Add > Multiple Documents, and select all your video files > OK > Save
10. Click on said videos, and assert that the flash player controls are not present

If one right-clicks, you can still play the videos through the context menu; alternatively, if you click Fullscreen, the controls will appear. When you exit fullscreen, the controls will now be present.

Further environments pending further regression tests.

Hi Vilmos,
Thanks for the heads up. The only version I could reproduce this for is 6.0.x. I've sent Brian a pull for it, but if you can reproduce it on any other branches, please let me know.

Thanks,

This issue fixes video playback on IE8 and previous versions but now IE9's playback is broken.
