This is a complete FORK by https://github.com/chrisboustead from https://github.com/chrisboustead/videojs-hls-quality-selector with 1 feature added to specify default quality to options.

Note:

• v1.2.0 is compatible with videojs 8
• v1.x.x is Only compatible with VideoJS 7.x due to the move from videojs-contrib-hls to videojs/http-streaming. For VideoJS v5 or v6 support please use a v0.x.x tag

Description

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

Installation

npm install --save videojs-hls-quality-selector

Usage

To include videojs-hls-quality-selector on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-hls-quality-selector.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs("my-video");

  player.hlsQualitySelector();
</script>

Browserify/CommonJS

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

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,
});

RequireJS/AMD

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

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

  player.hlsQualitySelector();
});
