Playing video on AVD with phonegap

Question

I'm trying to place an embed video player on one of the pages of my PhoneGap application.

I am currently using the html5 video tag:

<video id="video1" height="240" width="360" controls="controls" onclick="this.play();">
  <source src="/android_asset/video.mp4">
</video>

but I can not play my video on my AVD. I tried the videojs solution too, but I could not make it work either.

Is there any way to play videos on the AVD with PhoneGap? Thank you all.

I'm pretty sure I've answered this before but anyway, the video tag is broken in most if not all versions of Android. Go star these issues:

In order to work around this pain in the @$$ I've written a plugin you can use on Android to play videos.
