i try to use this plugin and followed the instruction given in the readme.md file.

1)here’s my html file

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
    <title>TryMakan Video</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.0.0.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="video.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
function playVideo(){
            window.plugins.videoPlayer.play("http://www.trymakan.my/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NASI-AYAM-BEREMPAH-KAJANG.mp4");
        }
 </script>
</head> <body>
<a href="#" onClick="playVideo();">play</a>
</body></html>

2) here’s my plugins.xml which is located in xml folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<plugins>
    <plugin name="VideoPlayer" value="com.phonegap.plugins.video.VideoPlayer"/>
</plugins>

3) i’ve also copied the VideoPlayer.java into this folder src\com\phonegap\plugins\video

4) additionally, some said I also need to add the plugin into AndroidManifest.xml file, so this is a snippet of it

<application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.video.VideoPlayer"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

but still, when I click on ‘play’, log cat will return this error 

08-08 04:54:15.823: I/Web Console(309): Error: Status=2 Message=Class not found at file:///android_asset/www/cordova-2.0.0.js:938

update1: here’s where the VideoPlayer.java is located

here

I don’t see the VideoPlayer.java under Gen folder, does that means it’s not compiled? Could this be the problem? If yes, how to solve it?

update2: I checked bin folder, and there VideoPlayer.class under bin\classes\com\phonegap\plugins\video so the VideoPlayer.java is actually compiled

    the problem is your plugins.xml.

    it appears in one of the recent PhoneGap release, the plugins.xml has been removed and you have to add the line in res/xml/config.xml instead.

    so try adding the tag <plugin name="VideoPlayer" value="com.phonegap.plugins.video.VideoPlayer"/>

    to res/xml/config.xml not to plugins.xml
