Steren Giannini commented on CB-238:
------------------------------------

Indeed, the Android 2.x Webview cannot play videos. But it can be customized to do so. This is what is done on Android's browser. 

The Webview calls "onShowCustomView" giving it a video player View that needs to be displayed by the application outside the Webview.

I worked on this issue and created a version of cordova for Android that can play videos. You can try a working version in our branch: https://github.com/joshfire/incubator-cordova-android

I created a Pull Request on github: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-android/pull/43

> I am trying to play a video in my app using the Youtube or Vimeo iframe embed code. The video thumbnail appears and I can click play, but the video never actually plays in the simulator. The exact same code works in the Android browser, but as soon as I embed the code into phonegap, the videos do not play.
> I have done a bunch of searching around the web and it seems like this is a common problem. Do I have to enable anything special to make this work. It also works great in iOS...
