Development status & plyr formatter for Drupal Core Media (Remote & Local)

Hi, is this module still maintained and development planned?

I guess it would still make sense to provide Plyr for Drupal 8 / 9 Core Media Video & Remote Video as formatter. What do you think? It could do a great job providing video controls and choose which controls are promoted to the Media entity maintainer and which are fixed for the field.

    Hi @IT-Cru. Just saw the further progress in Plyr and Vidstack Libraries. Seems like Vidstack Player is the new default and plyr is dead.
    https://github.com/vidstack/player

    Does this mean a new Drupal vidstack project should be started and should it be started as copy of the plyr code to keep as much as possible and make the switch as simple as possible?

    PS: Our DROWL team would be highly interested to join the party and get things done.

    @Anybody: Yes, I think we should start a new Drupal vidstack project. I haven't done this previously because vidstack player was not ready for Youtube and Vimeo.

    Current question: Should we create this as vidstack or vidstack_player project, because I think Vidstack team also plans a lot of other stuff and not only their player.

    • drupal/vidstack: More for integration with vidstack systems in general like CMS, analytics, upload and so on.
    • drupal/vidstack_player: As a sub-module of drupal/vidstack or standalone for Vidstack player component?

    Hi @IT-Cru,

    thank you for the reply :)

    I thought the same and I think vidstack_player would be correct! What do you think about copying the plyr module as basis and keep the configuration logic perhaps for a smooth transition?
    (Not relevant for us, as we didn't use plyr before, but might be for others)

    Or better make a fresh start?

    @Anybody: I've created drupal/vidstack_player module project, added you as co-maintainer and created 🌱 [meta] Discuss how we want to start Active for further discussions.

    I need to check, if I could join Drupal Contribution Weekend 2024 this year.

    Thank you very very much @IT-Cru, that's perfect!
    I've sent you a PM.

    Perhaps a link to the new project should be added on the module page here?

    We have no plans for Drupal Contribution Weekend 2024 yet, but that's a good idea. Sadly we're a bit stressed with projects currently.
