React Video Library

Summary

A set of 3 SPFX webparts that use different open-source carousels (react-3d-carousel, reactjs-coverface, and react-slick) to display videos stored on an O365 Video Channel. The idea being to display a carousel of the thumbnail images, and then when a user clicks on one of the thumbnails, replace the tumbnail with a video player and start the video up.

The first webpart used react-3d-carousel. The carousel looks great, but i found no way to swap out the image and replace it with a video player. This carousel would be fine for displayin a picture library though,

The second webpart used react-slick. The carousel is not as fancy as react-3d-carousel, but i was able to to swap out the image and replace it with a video player once a user clicked it. I had trouble with the css and getting the next and previous buttons to show. If you run the webpart, the buttons are there, they are just not visible.

Finally I tried reactjs-coverface. It has nice scrolling through the images withe the mousweheel, and some cool 3d effects. It was also simple to swap the image with a video player once a user clicked it (same code as react-slick). This is the best of the three for my purposes.

In the future I want to modify this webpart to link a Sharepoint list with the video channel so that users can enter additional metadata for the video and be anle to search/filter the videos using this metadata.

See also https://github.com/russgove/O365VideoSync. It's a console app that you can schedule to run to synchronize an Office 365 Video Channel with a sharepoint list (on prem or otherwise).
