Disable Native Controls in HTML5

I have created a custom set of controls via the SmartPlayer API. When I use the forceHTML, the player is setup OK in Chrome, but the native controls appear in the iframe element.

 

Normally, I would just use:

 

<video controls="">

 

Is there away to diable the native controls. It kind of defeats the purpose.

Re: Disable Native Controls in HTML5

 

  You can create a player in  BEML with no controls (use the VideoDisplay only) but we will be releasing really soon a couple of fixes so you can call the video player API to initiate playback in iOS devices after user interaction. For example, you could build your custom controls and then call videoPlayer.play(). I'll give you an update when the fixes are released but it should be in the next couple of weeks.
