videojs-hls-quality-selector

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

Adds a quality selector menu for HLS sources played in videojs.

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

Native HLS

Installation

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="https://github.com/chrisboustead/videojs-hls-quality-selector/raw/main//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://github.com/chrisboustead/videojs-hls-quality-selector/raw/main//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();
});
