How to change the resolution automatically? #121

Open clyde1021 opened 6 years ago

clyde1021 commented 6 years ago

I would like to know if there is a way to automatically change the video resolution according to the bandwidth? Kind of like on Youtube with the "auto" resolution?

You need videojs 7.xx and HLS technology on the server

kellertobias commented 5 years ago

at least in chrome, you don't need HLS. you can use the NetworkConnection framework.

We also use this:

connection = navigator.connection || navigator.mozConnection || navigator.webkitConnection;
connectionType = connection.effectiveType
downlinkMax = navigator.connection.downlinkMax || navigator.connection.downlink
dataSaving = navigator.connection.saveData || false

if (dataSaving) return 'low'
if(not downlinkMax) return 'low'
// now distinguish your resolution based on your video profiles and the downlinkMax (in Mbps)
