Dzenan commented on CB-5812:
----------------------------
I tried this scenarios on couple of Android devices, one of them being Galaxy
S4 with Android 4.2.2 and using Cordova version 3.1.0
When I open any of the HTML5 video link using inAppBrowsers with '_blank'
parameter it opens blank page.
In order to reproduce this issue you could try opening inAppBrowser like this:
window.open("http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4";, '_blank');
After being unable to figure out what is happening I tried manually creating
video element in inAppBrowser and setting the source attribute. This worked,
however I wasn't able to use html5 video full-screen option. Taping on
full-screen icon would stop the video while audio still running in the
background.
Thanks.

> Key: CB-5812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5812
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, Plugin InAppBrowser
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0, 3.3.0
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Dzenan
>
> inAppBrowser is unable to open websites with HTML5 videos.
> Example,
> window.open("https://mvid.mymovies.net/?fid=13061&mid=9599&typ=trl&partner=SHOWCASE&spd=320&ext=MP4";,
> '_blank');
> This code opens inAppBrowser and only blank page is visible, if we use
> '_system' instead of '_blank' than everything seems ok.
> I tried to find what is causing this behavior and manually inserted code for
> video element using executeScript function.
> Using this approach HTML5 video was rendered but fullscreen functionality
> was broken.
> It appears that webkitRequestFullscreen is causing these issues with
> inAppBrowser.
