Description

Prior to invoking an InAppBrowser window, video plays inline properly with the config.xml setting as well as the webkit-playsinline attribute on the video tag. However, as soon as any InAppBrowser window is invoked and subsequently closed, the video will no longer play inline and will always open the native player. This is specific to an iPhone as the iPad allows inline video playback without the config and playsinline attribute.
