Prevent skipping ahead in audio/video course components

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to prevent users from skipping ahead to the end of video and audio components that are set to 'complete' when 'ended'.  Anyone have experience preventing this or know of a plugin that can get me there? 

 

Thank you for your help!

As far as I am aware, the only way to do this with absolute certainty would be to build a totally new media plugin that rendered the video within canvas.

Otherwise, all you can do is put more steps in the way of the user being able to skip. For example, you could hide the 'seek bar' but then most browsers have in-built controls that could be used to bypass this. So in IE11 I could right-click and set the playback speed to '8x' for example.
