You can pass options to plugin like this:
videojs('video', {
controls: true,
muted: true,
width: 1000,
plugins: {
videoJsResolutionSwitcher: {
default: 'low'
}
}
}, function(){
// this is player
})
- default -
{Number}|'low'|'high'
- default resolution. If anyNumber
is passed plugin will try to choose source based onres
parameter. Iflow
orhigh
is passed, plugin will choose respectively worse or best resolution (ifres
parameter is specified). Ifres
parameter is not specified plugin assumes that sources array is sorted from best to worse. - dynamicLabel -
{Boolean}
- iftrue
current label will be displayed in control bar. By default gear icon is displayed. - customSourcePicker -
{Function}
- custom function for selecting source. - ui -
{Boolean}
- If set tofalse
button will not be displayed in control bar. Default istrue
.
Returns video.js player object if used as setter. If source
is not passed it acts like player.src()
// Update video sources
player.updateSrc([
{ type: "video/mp4", src: "http://www.example.com/path/to/video.mp4", label: 'SD' },
{ type: "video/mp4", src: "http://www.example.com/path/to/video.mp4", label: 'HD' },
{ type: "video/mp4", src: "http://www.example.com/path/to/video.mp4", label: '4k' }
])

{
label: 'SD', // current label
sources: [
{ type: "video/webm", src: "http://www.example.com/path/to/video.webm", label: 'SD' },
{ type: "video/mp4", src: "http://www.example.com/path/to/video.mp4", label: 'SD' }
] // array of sources with current label
}
If used as setter returns video.js player object.
// Get current resolution
player.currentResolution(); // returns object {label '', sources: []}
// Set resolution
player.currentResolution('SD'); // returns videojs player object
