I'm also having trouble displaying the controls.

Here's index.html.. video displays with no controls.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>HTML Video and Audio</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
<link href="css/mediaelementplayer.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head> <body>

<h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

<div class="wrapper">

  <h2>Video Example</h2>
 <video width="852" height="480" class="mejs__player">
    <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.ogg" type="video/ogg">
    <track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge-captions.vtt" default>
  </video>

  <h2>Audio Example</h2>

  <audio class="mejs__player">
    <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
  </audio>
</div>

</body> </html>

Have you added the controls attribute to the <video> tag?

<video width="852" height="480" class="mejs_player" controls>
...
</video>

Brad Chandler The <video> element initially had the controls attribute, but the video instructed us to remove it.
