react-player VS react-desktop

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 )

I never tried React but it can be a great thing to learn it if there is a React Native-like module for building desktop apps. I saw that there's a module for that called react-desktop but it seems like the repo is not active anymore. Are there ways to use React as a base to target windows, macOS, android, and iOS and web?

react-desktop provides a set of ready-to-use react components with the goal of bringing a native desktop experience, featuring many Windows 10 and MacOS Sierra components:

This one does exactly what I'm looking for but seems to be not maintained anymore. Does anyone know an active and complete alternative? it must support Windows UI. Mac support would be needed too but the priority by now is Windows.
