videojs-hls-quality-selector


Note: v2.x.x is compatible with VideoJS 8.x.x.

Description

Adds a quality selector menu for HLS sources played in videojs.
Requires videojs-contrib-quality-levels plugins.

Any HLS manifest with multiple playlists/renditions should be selectable from within the added control.

Native HLS

Does not yet support browsers using native HLS (Safari, Edge, etc). To enable plugin in browsers with native HLS, you must force non-native HLS playback:

Options

displayCurrentQuality boolean - _false_

Set to true to display the currently selected resolution in the menu button. When not enabled, displayed an included VJS "HD" icon.

placementIndex integer

Set this to override the default positioning of the menu button in the control bar relative to the other components in the control bar.

vjsIconClass string - _"vjs-icon-hd"_

Set this to one of the custom VJS icons (https://videojs.github.io/font/) to override the icon for the menu button.

Methods

getCurrentQuality string - _'auto'__

Return the current set quality or 'auto'

When using with Browserify, install videojs-hls-quality-selector via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

`js
var videojs = require('video.js');

// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the Player.prototype; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-hls-quality-selector');

var player = videojs('my-video');

player.hlsQualitySelector({
displayCurrentQuality: true,
});
`

$3

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

`js
require(['video.js', 'videojs-hls-quality-selector'], function(videojs) {
var player = videojs('my-video');

player.hlsQualitySelector({
displayCurrentQuality: true,
});
});
`

$3

It is possible to change the icon for example to a gear with:

`js
player.hlsQualitySelector({
vjsIconClass: 'vjs-icon-cog',
});
