Possible to disable VideoJs scrubbing? - video.js

Does anybody know if I can disable scrubbing in VideoJs, but still allow seeking by clicking on the timeline? Unfortunately I cannot find anything in the documentation.

VideoJS Playlist UI on Fullscreen

Is it possible for VideoJS to show/hide the playlist when in fullscreen? I've looked for examples online including even with the VideoJS based Brightcove's player and not found any so far. An example of the Playlist UI is: https://videojs.com/advanced/
I am looking to migrate from the MediaElementJS player which does support toggling the playlist from fullscreen, to VideoJS if i can get its playlist behaving in a similar manner. Exiting fullscreen to use the playlist is not acceptable.
If this functionality isn't currently supported, does anyone know any way around this issue? Perhaps an iframe based solution to keep the player fullscreen while accessing the playlist?
I'm not a web dev so please provide detailed info and/or full code examples rather than snippets. I'm getting there gradually.
Thanks!

How can my app appear in mobile safari URL bar as a app store suggestion (like slack)?

What technical requirements or methods do I need to implement to make my app appear in the URL browser under "app Store" suggestions in safari? This is what happens if I am typing in "slack" straight into the url bar of safari. It also appears if I haven't installed slack at all --> that's what I would like to implement as well.
Is that a auto suggestion-tool by safari which we can not influence at all?
Any hints to make that happen? Here's an image of Slack on Safari:
Thanks a lot!
These suggestions are known as Safari or Siri Suggestions, and appear to be controlled solely by Apple/Safari itself.
One source on Quora says,
“Siri Suggested Websites” are search results that come directly from Apple’s own search engine, based on websites they’ve crawled and indexed. It’s not based on your search history (or even anything you’ve done with Siri).
I wonder if your app would show up as a Suggestion if it was unique or popular enough in Apple's search indices...

How to work with voice over in objective-C?

Its the first time when I work with voice over on objective c. i'm trying to make some simple app for blind community.
tell me necessary classes and methods to work with voice?
what should my application to except play and pause voice?
please show me main protocols and methods with examples.
Full tutorial will be appreciated :-)
video will be perfect
You just need to make the elements in your app accessible in the accessibility tree. By default they are all set to YES, so all the elements are ready by voice over. You don't have to write any code for that.
However you need to write code to post accessibility notifications, and to make some elements not read by voice over.
You can change the voice over settings in the device accessibility settings.
Please read the Apple's Documentation regarding the UIAccessibility.

Video.js changing source and seeking simultaneously

I am trying to build a site using video.js to view videos. We need to switch videos while maintaining the currentTime value from the old video. The way I have it working right now is using the loadedmetadata event to set currentTime. The problem I am seeing with this is that the first frame of the video gets shown momentarily while the player seeks to the right time. I am new to JS programming so perhaps I am doing something wrong but I do not see anything in the docs that can help me overcome this. I am trying to render H.264/mp4 videos in Chrome. Thanks!
Changing the preload setting to 'metadata' might help this in the browsers that support that setting.
preload="metadata"
Then it supposedly should only load the metadata and trigger the loadedmetadata event, and not show the first frame. That is unless providing any new src forces preloading, and I'm not sure off the top of my head.
HTML5 video doesn't give us a lot of options around seamless switching videos unfortunately. The media source API proposal from Google/Microsoft/Netflix aims to fix this. http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/media-source/media-source.html
You could try this:

As seen here on the old videoJS-Forum I think you might have to declare preload="auto".
In the linked forum-threat there are also some changes I made documented.

How to get iTunes volume control widget?

Anyone know of a way to get a volume control widget similar to iTunes?
Not sure how close you'll get but the tutorial below shows how to apply custom themes via images to a UISlider. I haven't tried it yet but I was looking at it the other day.

I found it when browsing the site below which is also a good resource when trying to find controls

Hope that helps
