HTML5 currentTime not working in PhoneGap

I'm using PhoneGap and making an app for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I'm trying to play a mp4 video starting at a specific time. Using this code the video only starts from the beginning, and not 20 seconds in. What could be wrong?

function onDeviceReady() {
    var playerDiv = document.getElementById('player');

    playerDiv.innerHTML="<video id='video' src='"+window.localStorage.getItem("selectedVideo")+"' loop='loop' width='1285' height='752'></video>";

    document.getElementById("video").addEventListener("loadedmetadata", function() {
        this.currentTime = 20;
    }, false);
}

function playVideo() {
    document.getElementById('video').play();
}

I have also tried this, but it still starts from the beginning:

document.getElementById('video').addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function() {
   this.currentTime = 20;
   this.play();
}, false);

And using canplay insted of loadedmetedata does not work.
