I have a html5 videoplayer with custom controls that I show/hide as needed. The default controls are removed via video.removeAttribute(“controls”).

However, when the user launches fullscreen, he gets the default iOS controls and can scrub through ads.

Is there a way of disabling seeking in fullscreen mode?

Thanks.

    According to Apple, in fullscreen mode, they will always provide video controls:

    You could always disable fullscreen on iPad for the ad (removing the fullscreen control), then move back to fullscreen for the content. Not optimal, and won’t work on iPhone/iPod Touch.
