Video streaming without iPhone's internal player app

We publish training videos and have the problem that we need to restrict the player to only play/pause. We have tried every player, we are now publishing videos via Adobe Captivate (an eLearning app) and it works fantastic for us on almost all devices, Android, PC, Mac, even the iPad. The Captivate player only lets the student play and pause the video.
But then we test it on iPhone 5 and, bazing, the iPhone 5's internal player kicks in and takes over the mp4 video, gives the student all the functions they want.
I understand why that is, I really do. We're in the 21st century and instead of making it harder for users to use players, everyone's trying to make it easier. But the problem is in some cases we still need to restrict it.
Does anyone here now how to bypass the internal iPhone 5 player? Is there any way, any product out there that will not fire up the internal player app and just lets it be? The iPad is fine, at least the iPad2 - I don't even know about the mini...
Is there a way? Please let me know. I'm about to slam my head against the next wall...
Thanks,
Nat

Likely there is not one. The MacWorld iPhone 4 review says:
"It’s also unfortunate that, at least for now, iPhone 4 owners can only use FaceTime with other iPhone 4 users, and not interoperate with other video-chat clients such as Apple’s own iChat. (Given that FaceTime uses all the same sound effects as iChat, it seems inevitable that the two products will one day interoperate"
Best bet would be to do a search in App store under video.

Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound. How can I fix this?

Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound. The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays. How can I fix this?

Is this using a specific app or apps? Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone. both iphone, Apple TV are capable models and have latest software updates.
What's wrong here?

Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status. Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

Links to the BBC News Player don't start video streams.

On the BBC News website there are numerous links to video news streams which should start playing in the BBC News Player (a new popup windows with either web content and a video stream in either Windows Media Player or Real Player format).
Whenever I go to the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk) and click a video link it:
1. Opens up the BBC News Player in a popup window.
2. Shows a short BBC News Logo clip of 3 seconds.
3. Then does nothing.
What it should do for step 3 is to play the relevant video stream.
I've tried this in several Mac browsers:
Safari (2.0.2) = FAILS (as described above)
Inernet Explorer (5.2) = WORKS (but without CSS the html looks messy)
Camino (0.8.4) = WORKS
Opera (8.0.2) = WORKS
Firefox (1.0.2) = WORKS
Q1. So why does it work in all the above browsers, but in Safari.
Q2. Do other people get it work in Safari or not?
John.

iBod,
I'm more baffled now! I created a couple of new accounts (one admin, one standard) and tried them. Both had the same outcome:
1. Started Safari.
2. Went to http://news.bbc.co.uk
3. Clicked link to display a video news clip (was one about dummies!).
4. BBC News Player window popped up, asking if I wanted Real Player or Windows Media. Chose Real Player.
5. Window refreshed with the correct video clip.
6. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. OK.
7. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. Not it fails persistently. (By fail I mean the player window comes up but the video clip is only a 3-second clip of a BBC logo.)
I tried the second new account and similarly. For the first few goes it works properly. After a few goes it fails.
John.

No video streaming for just some apps

I'm running OS 10.6.8. Video streaming for YouTube and some other apps suddenly stopped working. Streaming of files attached to gmail works fine. I've reinstalled FlashPlayer to no avail. Can someone help?

Hello CharlyAndy,
It sounds like you are unable to stream video from some websites with your computer. I recommend trying the steps in the following article named:
Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): If Safari can’t open a website
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11883
Reload the page and reset Safari
Open Safari if it is not already open.
Choose View > Reload Page.
If reloading the page doesn’t work, choose Safari > Reset Safari, click Reset, and then try again to open the page.Warning: Resetting Safari deletes your browsing history and much other information. To learn more, see this help topic:Reset Safari
Check your proxy settings If your computer or network is protected by a proxy or firewall, be sure your settings are correct in Network preferences. Incorrect settings can prevent Safari from connecting to some websites.
To enter proxy settings, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network, and then click the Advanced button.
In the Advanced pane click Proxies.For information about settings in the Proxies pane of Network preferences, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).
Contact the website’s owner
The webpage may prevent users from accessing the page using Safari. Check with the website owner to find out for sure.
Ask the website owner if the first part of the address, which identifies the Internet protocol (such as http or https), is nonstandard. If it is nonstandard, Safari can’t open it.
Ask the website owner if there’s a problem with the web server’s configuration.
Use the latest version of Safari
To update your software, choose Apple menu > Software Update or Apple menu > App Store.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Can I work use videos made with 24fps for the IMovie App?

Hallo,
I was making a video with my iphone 4s and the App Filmic Pro. I choiced 24fps. Can I use this film for I Movie or only films on 30fps?

In IBooks Author choose Share:Export... iBook. Drag the YourBook.ibooks file onto iTunes, maybe directly into the Books panel. Sync your iPad with the Mac, selecting YourBook in iTunes.

HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

My sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). I want to set his up with his own username and password. How do i do that and can it be done without losing any of his apps, songs or video?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

My iPad 1 streams ABC player app to Apple TV but not consistently, need help troubleshooting.

I discovered a couple of weeks ago that the ABC Player app could be streamed from my iPad 1 to Apple TV, a pleasant surprise, but inconsistent. Last night when I tried it, no joy, just got the error message, no audio or video. However, then I tried the TNT app, and it worked perfectly (first time, another surprise), streaming both audio and video perfectly. I'm trying to figure out what I might be able to do to get the ABC app back on track. Anyone else had any success with this? I know this is not mirroring, the iPad 1 can't do that. Any help appreciated. My settings: Apple TV turned on and connected via HDMI cable, and the iPad set to Apple TV via the task bar. Home sharing turned off. Apple TV working fine for Netflix and for mirroring from iPhone 4s.

I just checked and ABC does not work over airplay. I do have an iPad 2 but I turned off mirroring in order to use it the same way an iPad 1 user would. You are right about the link so I have provided one that is up to date.
http://theapple.tv/apps/list-of-airplay-enabled-apps/
The error message is suspect though, as audio should still come through. I assume you've tried the basics (reboot, reset) for both devices. In regards to the video and why it worked that time, whatever the reason is due to something the developer has done.

Youtube streaming on IPhone 4. Unwatchable video stuttering. Audio continues to play flawlessly. Video is completely buffered. Fix?

Hi there,
I've been having issues streaming Youtube videos on my IPhone 4 for awhile now, but it just recently escalated. Videos stutter like crazy right from the beginning, even on 360p or 240p. The video is buffered. The audio continues to play flawlessly, even when the video is moving at 1-2FPS. My connection on my IPhone is a solid 25Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I've tried closing all other apps, soft-resetting, restarting the Youtube app, and even watching video on the Youtube mobile site. The issue also seems to extend to all streaming video viewable on my IPhone over the internet, regardless of the website. This has only been an issue since iOS7.
Please help in any way you can.
Regards,
Ryan

I wanted to watch a BNN video on my iphone 4, but I was told I needed Adobe Flash Player. Adobe says Apple does not allow to install Flash Player on iPhones. Any suggestions?

See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.
You can do a forum search and find coutless posts on this.
