When I try to execute: cordova plugin add com.moust.cordova.videoplayer It returns the following error: Error: 404 Not Found: com.moust.cordova.videoplayer

Any ideas?

The plugin is registred in the PhoneGap Build's registry but not in the Cordova's registry.

You can use the Github repository url to instal it instead : cordova plugin add https://github.com/moust/cordova-plugin-videoplayer.git

Thank you for the quick answer, the plugin installed from the git repository. However, when I run the app on my device, nothing happens. No errors or anything, just a blank screen. Do I need a

First, the plugin doesn't work with Youtube url, only with video file.

As described in the README, you should call the plugin's function to play your video, like this example : VideoPlayer.play("file:///android_asset/www/movie.mp4");

You must put the video file in the directory www like all the other files with PhoneGap/Cordova and the path to the file must be prefixed by file:///android_asset/www/. If you want, you can put it in a subfolder. (eg: file:///android_asset/www/subfolder/movie.mp4)

Further, make sure your video format is supported by Android. Refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
