説明

Hey,

It's great that you try to use the BEM methodology in your CSS. But your CSS is not fully compatible with BEM. You use BEM syntax (-- for modifiers and __ for elements) which is good, but there is a lot of nested selectors which is against BEM rules.

For example:

.plyr__controls {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    line-height: 1;
    text-align: center;

    // Spacing
    > button,
    .plyr__progress {
    // ... code
   }
}

This it not a valid BEM syntax.

Because of this sometimes overwriting your styles is problematic - one have to deal with specificity issues.

Istead of nesting you should break your styles into smaller modules. Here's a great article on how to deal with common BEM problems: https://medium.com/fed-or-dead/battling-bem-5-common-problems-and-how-to-avoid-them-5bbd23dee319
