How difficult and expensive will it be to make your own player for the site?

Question

PHP

I need a player for the site. I don’t want to embed the YouTube video player on the site, it’s ugly (even though it recently changed its design, but it’s still not ice). There are also vk, Vimeo, Rutube, but their design is also not satisfactory. And then I thought about creating my own player for the site (so that there is a unique design and videos are stored on the site). I have absolutely no experience in this and I can’t even imagine how difficult it is and how much it will cost. So I'm interested in your opinion on this. Preferably with specific numbers. At least approximately.

Answer 1

Here is a list of html5 players - praegnanz.de/html5video/. If you need your own design, then you just need to choose a player in which it is easy to change the skin.
Videojs is quite popular - www.videojs.com

Answer 2

https://www.reembed.com - can replace the design of different players.

Answer 3

At one time, I wrote a simple player in 2 days.
It was a FLASH player and played only FLV format (FLashVideo)
Now with the advent of HTML5, you need to consider both options.
+ Support for video formats, support for portable devices...
To understand the scope of the project you need to know more...

Answer 4

Are you going to store and share videos from your servers?
Google says there are ways to change the design of the default youtube player.
It is not necessary to make your own player, just take a ready-made one (and there are many of them) and change the design.

Answer 5

ou player from scratch to write and beautiful it's for a week of team work. All the same, in a flash, everything is more or less standardized with this.

Answer 6

uppod.ru - configured in a couple of mouse clicks, there are flash and html5 versions of the player and a bunch of skins.
