Description (last modified by jeroen) (diff)
With the latest iOS release for iPad, it's now possible to visual elements on top of the <video> tag. Additionally, the webkit fullscreen API has been exposed. This means we could switch over to our skinned controls from native controls.
On iPads, this would have the benefit of being able to add clickable overlay elements into the video area, including dock icons.
In order to keep the UX model good, we'd then have to start supporting certain Touch gestures:
- Pinch out for fullscreen
- Sliding over the controlbar time slider for seeking
- Sliding over the playlist for 1 finger scrolling

Perhaps it's indeed nice to have an option to enable/disable native iOS controls. Something like ipadcontrols=true.
Scaling up the controls is a lot of work, so probably better to prevent that.
This might also be something that'll get fixed on the ipad in time. The built-in controls for <audio> on the iPad also are bad (as in: truly impossible to click), so Apple needs to do some work there.
