Does PhoneGap allow access to IOS/Android gallery and will I be able to inject mp4 files with meta data on mobile phone?

@Andre,
Since this appears to be your first posting, please answer the following questions.
- is this your first hybrid mobile app?
- are you using phonegap desktop app?
- Are you using CLI, Build or SDK? Please do not assume the answer. Please read the link.
Thanks

Hi Jesse
I am not using phonegap at all, My current application is written in Python using Kivy. Runs on Android and IOS but I need to make use of native IOS gallery. I need to open the gallery and choose a video, then inject it with meta data. I am thinking of maybe rather using phonegap to accomplish this. Reason for my post is to ask will this be possible using any phonegap tech.

@Andre,
Okay you have a misunderstanding about how Phonegap works. Phonegap uses HTML, Javascript and CSS (It is in the FAQ). Media files can be loaded from the device or the from the internet (with special permission enabled (use "whitelist")). Loading media (audio/video) can be done using the HTML5 API or with phonegap plugins. Playing is also HTML5 or plugins. There are working examples and tutorials on the internet, including videos. If you cannot find one, let use know.
AGAIN using Javascript. Python is not needed, unless you plan on writing a server.
Questions?
