I tried this scenario on couple of Android devices, one of them being Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 and using Cordova version 3.1.0

When I open any of the HTML5 video link using inAppBrowsers with '_blank' parameter it opens blank page.

In order to reproduce this issue you could try opening inAppBrowser like this:

window.open("http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4", '_blank');

After being unable to figure out what is happening I tried manually creating video element in inAppBrowser and setting the source attribute. This worked, however I wasn't able to use html5 video full-screen option. Taping on full-screen icon would stop the video while audio still running in the background.

Thanks.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android, Plugin InAppBrowser

> inAppBrowser is unable to open websites with HTML5 videos. 
> Example, 
> window.open("https://mvid.mymovies.net/?fid=13061&mid=9599&typ=trl&partner=SHOWCASE&spd=320&ext=MP4", '_blank');
> This code opens inAppBrowser and only blank page is visible, if we use '_system' instead of '_blank' than everything seems ok.
> I tried to find what is causing this behavior and manually inserted code for video element using executeScript function. 
> Using this approach HTML5 video was rendered but fullscreen functionality  was broken.
> It appears that webkitRequestFullscreen is causing these issues with inAppBrowser.
