Griffith is a React-based web video player library developed by Zhihu, supporting mp4 and HLS streaming via Media Source Extensions. It ships as a React component plus a standalone UMD build for non-React applications.
Use cases
- play mp4 and hls videos in a react app
- add a video player component to my website
- stream video with media source extensions
- embed a video player without react
- support quality switching hd sd video playback
- build a custom html5 video player ui
When to choose
- you need a React video player with mp4/HLS MSE-based streaming
- you want a battle-tested player used in production at Zhihu
- you need a standalone UMD player for non-React pages
When to avoid
- your app uses server-side rendering, which is not supported
- you need DRM or advanced adaptive streaming features beyond mp4/HLS
- you need a player for non-web platforms like native mobile
