@desmond,
Phonegap is not a webserver or a webbrowser. Which plugins are you using? or are you trying to use an HTML5 API? If so, which one?

I just need to know how to play a streaming video using a plugin or even better the android native player.

i tried using this plugin

here is my onclick event function

function stream(){

var videoUrl = window.localStorage.getItem("android_link", android_link);

// Just play a video
window.plugins.streamingMedia.playVideo(videoUrl);

// Play a video with callbacks
var options = {
successCallback: function() {
console.log("Video was closed without error.");
},
errorCallback: function(errMsg) {
console.log("Error! " + errMsg);
}
};
window.plugins.streamingMedia.playVideo(videoUrl, options);
}

Your answer implies you are either new to phonegap of new to mobile development. In short, you are below a beginner. Any answer I give you will lead you in the wrong direction.

Which tutorials have you done? You are not ready to play a video file. You do not have the basic knowledge.

Desmond,
Jesse will certainly be able to direct you to the precise relevant information. But your plugin is not visible in your post, most likely because you have posted an XML element (as a "tag") and failed to read and apply the forum info on how to do that.
See "some HTML allowed" and specifically the CODE element.

I already solved it, I did not call the cordova.js;
Everything works perfectly now. That was my only error. Am new to phonegap but this is my second app. my first had over 2,000 downloads on the google play store. let me see how far my second will go. Thanks.

Jesse, why? Why?
Let the folks stay here if they want.
(Sitting in a bar, you don't invite everyone to move to nextdoor's place, either, do you?)

@Petra,
We are moving. You should be prepared. I don't like the new forum either.

Then don't urge people to move.
As long as this place attracts many more denizens than the other forum, they won't be daft enough to shut down this forum.
