Using of html5 <video> tag in web-based applications for iPhone
- by Alexander Sharov
As you know iPhone plays video content from < video tags in full-screen mode via internal media player. Here I have several questions:
1) is it possible to show custom text over video playing? something like subtitles appeared during movie playback.
I tried several solutions like http://blog.gingertech.net/2008/12/12/attaching-subtitles-to-html5-video/, but seems they are not working in iPhone case.
Ideally, I want to add some div over media player and show necessary information there.
2) is there any way to disable controls of iPhone media player. Seams it is not metter if you add "controls" attrinbute to < video tag or don't add, iPhone always switch on controls for media player.
The goal for me is do not allow to user to change playback possition(user should see full movie from start to finish. Of course user can stop the video, but he can't rewind a record)
Thanks for your help.
