Not sure if will make a difference, but it might. Comments Make a plugin that runs native app. When you set the setting in the app, make it connect to url and then add the link to the direct video.

One option, if you can't write plugins, is to go into the properties for the plugin in your CP and allow the browser back button to be shown. To stop users trying to use the back button, you could consider maybe not showing the navbar. Problem is, one compromise intoroduces another. Worth a try though?
