Can not play video mp4 in latest iOS 9.0.2

ionic-v1
1

Hello!
I have trouble to make my Ionic app play mp4 video in latest version of iOS 9.0.2 inside .
The video plays fine using Chrome/Safari, but once deployed to iOS, it can not play it and I can not see any errors. I can see only a Play icon. I have checked the config.xml and I have the following whilst access:

I have tested the following code :

 <ion-content>
        <video width="100%" controls="controls" preload="metadata" autoplay loop webkit-playsinline="webkit-playsinline" class="videoPlayer">
            <source ng-src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
        </video>
    </ion-content>

I have not tested if this should work in older iOS, so I am not sure if this depends on new policy from Apple or something else.

I have tried to use “src” instead of “ng-src”, but same problem.

I got the following error when I tested on older iOS:

The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection

I resolved it after days thru adding the following in [ProjectName]-info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
	<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
	<true/>
</dict>

And finally could get it work on my latest iOS mobile.
I had the following:

in config.xml but this was not enough to get it work and we need to add NSAppTransportSecurity entry in the config.xml.

In iOS9 only https requests are allowed by default. If you can get the video with https-host everything is fine.
In other cases you need to change you info.plist file in your ios build.
