Disable media scrubbing on iE / Edge
by Jonathan Briggs - Tuesday, 6 November 2018, 3:13 PM
 

I'm finding that the core Adapt media component is unable to disable media scrubbing on Microsoft browsers (iE, Edge) but it works just fine on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iOS Safari. Does anyone have any magical fixes for this?

 

Cheers

Jonathan

Not so far, no. There's already a ticket about this issue in case you hadn't already spotted it.

I'm sure there are ways to bypass it even in Chrome/Firefox, it's why the README for this setting says 'will attempt to prevent users from skipping ahead in media' rather than 'prevents users from skipping ahead'.

(Last time I checked you could certainly bypass it in iOS Safari as well simply by playing the video full screen)

In that case, I'll go for hiding the controls altogether with this bit of CSS, as it does the job and retains click to play/pause

.mejs-controls-hide {
.mejs-controls {
visibility: hidden !important;
display: none !important;
}
}
