Styling Options / Themes for VidStack

[chrisspiegl]

I found this package as an alternative to using native video players in capacitor and vidstack on the web.

Now, I am wondering: is it somehow possible to style the players similar to all the options these players would normally have?

With VidStack specifically, the whole theming options and possibly providing the settings ourselves?

Same for the android player?

Right now, it appears it is only possible to "provide a video" and some rudimentary settings?

Is this intentional? And supposed to be very “standard” or am I missing something?

@chrisspiegl, on version 5 I'm removing support for Web on this plugin (you can read more on this comment).

As for iOS and Android; right now the look & feel is the native one, as the plugin uses the base AVPlayer and ExoPlayer without any changes.

I won't discard the customization functionality for the plugin, but that's something that I'm currently not working on.

Thank you for your swift response. I agree, this appears to be the best solution (and I also thought about it yesterday as I was testing the library).

I'd like to ask you one more question while I am getting to know Android/iOS development: from a performance perspective, does it make a significant difference to use the “native player” via capacitor? Which would then have me use your media-player for those native versions?
