PhoneGap Play m3u8 Video

Question

I have an index.html with an iframe and inside that iframe I have the following code:

<a id="watch-live-btn" href="http://the.location.to/playlist.m3u8" target="_parent"></a>

The video plays fine on iOS and when I hit "Done" I'm sent back to the app with no problems. When I try this on Android it just sits there for some time doing nothing. The app is still active in the mean time.

iOS: 6.1 Android 4.0.4

You can make use of a phonegap plugin. There is one already created here for playing videos:

If you want to stream on android pre 3.0 you can modify the plugin to use the Vitamio library as well:
