Here's what I have. Its basically the same thing as you see above:

<body onload="javascript:init()">
    <div class="app">
        <p><a href="#" onclick="playVideo('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYOLV66XukY')">Play File</a><p/>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova-2.3.0.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="video.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        app.initialize();

        function init()
        {
            document.addEventListener("deviceready", console.log('ready'), true);
        }

        function playVideo(vidUrl) 
        {
            window.plugins.videoPlayer.play(vidUrl);
        }
    </script>
</body>

Does anyone know how to play embedded facebook videos in phonegap? I know that is possible to play the original mp4 but I'm not sure how trustworthy it is.
