Quality Selection Menu UI
videojs-contrib-quality-menu provides a menu button the the player's control bar which allows you to manually select the playback quality in HLS or Dash sources. If resolution information is available on all renditions, the UI will display quality options by the lines of horizontal resolution (e.g. 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p). If resolution information is not available, it will fallback to show options SD
and HD
for Standard Definition and High Definition respectively. The plugin will use bitrate information for each rendition to determine whether it is SD or HD, using a configurable dividing line.
Installation
npm install --save videojs-contrib-quality-menu

.
useResolutionLabels
Type:

When true
, the plugin will attach bitrate information to the resolution labels (e.g. 720p @ 13806 kbps
). This option has no effect when useResolutionLabels
is false
or when resolution information is unavailable.
