IOS 6 video player doesnt gets back to app after video is played and hangs the app about cordova-plugin-streaming-media

Do you have any console output that might indicate what the error was?

this is what I get in console all I want is to close the video player and get back to the app after video finished.

That thread warning isn't anything to worry about (as far as I know). Does it happen with every video, or just certain ones? Does it work with Apple's test video?

Having the same issue. Ios6 - the app goes back to normal if you hit the close Button before the video ends. If you watch the video until the end the app freezes with a black screen.

This is on the device and in the simulator,

edit:
The Screen actually doesn't black out if you keep the controls on screen: http://cl.ly/XVAZ
Does the player try to load the next file on end?

Should be fixed with @steffenmllr 's addition.

This issue takes my hours and finally i found the problem. Is the video/audio url contains non-english character (ğ,ü,ş,i,ö,ç etc) plugin does not play without any error message but actually can not access the real path.
To fix this encode url before use as parameter.

window.plugins.streamingMedia.playVideo(videoUrl);

to

window.plugins.streamingMedia.playVideo(encodeURI(videoUrl));
