Description

On iOS - I'm attempting to use the HTML5 video player to play a 'large' video (~200mb). When the video is played from a remote URL - my server - it begins playing quickly and quality is good. When the video is played from an app folder on the local device or simulator, it takes about 20 seconds to begin playing and is somewhat choppy at the beginning. The file is stored in the 'dataDirectory' retrieved from `window.cordova.file.dataDirectory`

I suspect this has something to do with trying to buffer in the entire file before playing, but I have no idea - any ideas would be appreciated.
