[4.x] Switch to Plyr / Vidstack Player for alle videos (remote + local)

Created on 28 July 2022, over 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

As already discussed internally, we plan to switch from the core & blazy video formatters to the Plyr library for our entire video handling (media_video & media_slide).

We've been having constant problems with videos for years (especially autoplay handling, custom video controls and so on...), hopefully Plyr will finally fix this annoying issue.

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

  • Further options to add:
    • [Prio] Media Video: Autoplay (bool, or probably radios: no autoplay, autoplay [on load], autoplay [in viewport])
    • [Prio] Media Video: Mute (bool, overridden if autoplay is true)
    • [Prio] Media Video: Controls (radio => 'hide', 'minimal', 'full')
    • Media Video: Loop (bool)
    • Media Slide: Auto Hide/Collapse overlay after x-Seconds after video playback has started
  • Intensive testing of all DROWL Media Video variants:
    • Media Slide, with all types of overlays and constellations with the no-crop/page-width options (this will require further implementation of custom controls for full size overlays etc. - see #3300386)
    • Media Video itself in all available view modes
