I have created a minimal PhoneGap app that has just this in the index.html:

<!-- ... -->
<body>
  <video src="test.m4v" autoplay onerror="alert('Error')"></video>
</body>

In the PhoneGap.plist I have set MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction to NO.

Yet I still cannot get the video to autoplay when the page loads. I have tried different ways of scripting it but to no avail.

Does anybody have a clue what I’m doing wrong?

    Solved it. Turned out to be a bug in PhoneGap 1.3 which was fixed in version 1.4 released yesterday(!).

    From the release notes:

    Fixed CB-42 – MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction can now be set to NO
