CSS support for styling players

[binarykitchen]

I wonder if it's easy to style the video players easily with CSS on popcorn-js?

Most 3d party video players like videojs place new div elements for the control bar, the play button etc so that it becomes easier to syle.

Does popcorn-js have/allow this?

Or it is safe to wrap the popcorn video player with another video player library like videojs?

Yeah it should work with videojs, something else, or your own custom
controls.

Thanks! Have you tried with own custom controls yet?

The controls use in popcorn.webmaker.org are custom. You'll see them after
publishing a project. While it would be possible to use them they are
designed with popcorn.webmaker in mind.

Hmmm... interesting, thanks.

But how come nobody has tried to add stylish controls yet for such a big project?

[ScottDowne]

Popcorn.js itself currently doesn't set out to solve the problem of custom
controls, because others have solved that. I can see a lot of value in
making it as easy as possible to use other controls plugins, so if you find
it hard to use videojs or others, that's something we can fix.

I see and that makes sense. But it might be dangerous using 3rd party libraries like videojs because they can mess up with the event handling. When popcorn listens to i.E. play events and videojs is manipulating these, then things can go wrong ... I need some kind of assurance that both go well together.
