react-player VS Gatsby

Now, before using our getSummaryById function, let's install our video player. We will use React Player that you can find here.

I realized that react-player which is essential a video can play these types and play them well. The biggest issue I'm running into now is that I can't get any sort of customization done to this player and the default styling is kind of ugly. Does anyone have any experience in customizing this player? I've checked the node modules or anything for some css but I couldn't come across anything.

Can anybody explain what's going on? I'm trying to understand whether I'm not fully understanding react or its an issue with (https://github.com/CookPete/react-player)

It sounds like what you want is some variety of live-streaming. This can be accomplished in a number of ways with varying degrees of complexity. The simplest version would be to use a live-streaming tool like OBS and then stream that data to a provider service like Twitch, Youtube, or Facebook Live. Each of those platforms gives you a player embed code that could easily be put into your react code. Additionally I think there are a couple open source react components that take a stream ID from one of those providers and will play the video back on your site (not necessarily endorsing these, but a quick google search turned up https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-twitch-embed and https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-player). You could certainly get more hands-on with a number of layers in this stack, but that's only useful if you have a pretty specific thing you're trying to accomplish that these tools can't help with. Hope that helps!!

React-Player is a React component that plays audio-visual files from various URLs, including file paths, YouTube links, Facebook links, Twitch links, SoundCloud links, Streamable links, Vimeo links, Wistia links, Mixcloud links, DailyMotion links, Kaltura links, and so on.

checkout dash or hls, you will need to use a library for enable hls or dash support ( like https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-player )

The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.

A Gatsby site uses Gatsby, which leverages React and GraphQL to create fast and optimized web experiences. Gatsby is often used for building static websites, progressive web apps (PWAs), and even full-blown dynamic web applications.

While Next.js is a powerful framework for building server-rendered React applications, it's not the only option for developers looking to create high-performance websites. One notable alternative is Gatsby, a static site generator that leverages React and GraphQL.

The other piece of important information to acknowledge here is that when we say RSCs need a framework, “framework” effectively just means “Next.js.” There are some smaller frameworks (like Waku) that support RSCs. There are also some larger and more established frameworks (like Redwood) that have plans to support RSCs or (like Gatsby) only support RSCs in beta. We will likely see this change once we get React 19 and RSCs are part of the Stable version. However, for now, Next.js is currently the only framework recommended in the official React docs that supports server components.

GatsbyjsCMS - Gatsby is the fast and flexible framework that makes building websites with any CMS, API, or database fun again. Build and deploy headless websites that drive more traffic, convert better, and earn more revenue!

GatsbyJS

Babel plugins are everywhere. From being used to remove unwanted exports from files in Gatsby to being used to disallow users from doing re-exports in Nextjs.

In terms of GitHub stars, SSGs like Next.js, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Nuxt.js, and Jekyll top the list. Some popular SSGs even host conferences and workshops, providing resources and networking opportunities for those looking to explore more advanced topics in depth.

Flexibility : Developers have complete control over the frontend so they can use their preferred tools and frameworks like React, Next.js, Gatsby, or Remix.
