Description

In my config.xml I have
<preference name="MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" value="true" />

Which works fine (auto play vine videos don't autoplay. yay!)...until I launch the InAppBrowser which then sets a user preference WebKitMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture to false, and then the main app webkit windows seems to read this setting instead of the one in the config.

I got around this by passing the mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction=yes to window.open, but perhaps the InAppBrowser shouldn't be setting this preference option?
