First of all I just want to say I came here from PH and I instantly fell in love with this player (not only I have a crush on it but it also came up at the perfect time on my screen ;)). So big kudos to you guys.

However, I am curious if it's possible to integrate an option to switch quality of a video like YouTube has (I think half of the functionality for such a feature is already done with the plyr.source() method, so there might just remain a nice dropup menu for the resolution options). What do you think?

From #245 @tamanhquyen

I have created player using your plugins . But i can't change quality on vimeo source . Please help me . Thanks a lot!

[gino8080]

Is there an ETA for this feature?

[Abdalrhmam]

Great work

[diasfelipe]

Looks good, can't wait.

[singleseeker]

How`s it going?

[aolko]

Is it done and can be pushed to the master branch?

[sampotts]

No, but my baby son is and is growing well. Sorry, he takes priority right now.

[tonmoy-ajize]

Waiting for this badly.

[sampotts]

I've been managing to squeeze in some more time here and there in between changing nappies and getting the little fella to sleep. Sorry it's just been a bit more complicated than previous changes given all the new UI components and having a kid in the middle of it wasn't well planned.

This is going to be launched along with:

• Multiple caption support
• More advanced loop support
• Speed controls

I'm getting there just hang in there 👍

This is implemented now for HTML5. For Vimeo it's not supported/possible (at least without a hack). For YouTube it was supported. Sam implemented it, but YouTube remove the support on their end shortly after :( hls.js, dash.js and Shaka player is still not supported. There are a few assumptions in the architecture that makes this a little hard to implement.

[mu7mdmagdy]

there is not way to add quality list for vimeo ?? after api V.3 i think it become easier !

[AliHaiider]

@friday @sampotts any update about to add Quality for vimeo video?

[medzhidov]

@friday here is official vimeo api to get\change quality:
https://github.com/vimeo/player.js/

[sampotts]

I'm well aware of the Vimeo JS SDK. Plyr already uses it. However quality selection is reserved for paid Vimeo accounts. Quality selection is already supported and documented for HTML5. YouTube's API for it is merely allows suggesting a quality level and in reality it's ignored 99.9% of the time. It useless.

[medzhidov]

@sampotts It is useful, because youtube\vimeo may set 720p for default, bases on internet connection, but users want to see it in 1080p, because their connection support it. And what is problem with paid vimeo accounts? I can give to developers access to my paid vimeo account, it is not problem. We want to use this player in our projects, but quality selection is really important feature.

[sampotts]

I don't disagree that it's useful. However, as I said, for YouTube their API is useless for it. I opened a bug and they closed it as expected behavior. You could try again.

As for Vimeo, I'd need access to a paid account or at least a video from a paid account then I could add support. I'm surprised no ones given it a go and opened a PR if it's that critical.

[medzhidov]

@sampotts i did it just now, link to video:

[sampotts]

Thanks, I'll take a look.

[Timur0076565]

hi!
Is there currently a video quality option for YouTube?

[sampotts]

@Timur0076565 See my comment further up #218 (comment)

[Timur0076565]

Can I change the default YouTube controls from 0 to 1?
This code doesn't work:

<iframe :src="`${data.src}?controls=1`" allowfullscreen allowtransparency allow="autoplay" ></iframe>

Stupid question. If you wanna use default controls - add default youtube embed with no plyr.

[Timur0076565]

@medzhidov, stupid answer!!!! I wanna use plyr with default youtube controls. This is vary important for my player. If you such a very smart person, tell me how i can do it!

[medzhidov]

I guess Plyr parse link and take only videoId from url, so any params in your link will ignored

[Timur0076565]

@medzhidov, yes, I already understood that !!
I need some kind of solution how to add YouTube controls using plyr.
Do you have an ideas?

[Timur0076565]

@medzhidov ???

Fork this repo and do what you want)

[Timur0076565]

@medzhidov, Илья, по-моему я задал вполне адекватный вопрос, как мне включить controls = 1, ты же вместо того чтобы подсказать пишешь мне какую то фигню, я повторюсь, если ты такой умный парень, подскажи решение или не лез со своими "Stupid question"!

[Timur0076565]

@medzhidov, А для чего мне Ютубовские контроллеры в этом плеере - это мое личное дело)

[medzhidov]

@Timur0076565 i answered your question - fork this repo and change youtube embedding for your needs. Stop spam here

[Edu4rdob]

Has anyone been able to validate the option for quality exchange recently?

[Raprodent]

Has any1 found new tags for the itag format? 4K with audio?

[jelkomme]

@sampotts Could you provide an update on the status of this feature? Has there been any addition of a quality option for playing YouTube videos? If not, it would be highly beneficial if the player could play videos in HD by default.

[jelkomme]

maybe you can add a feature to AUTO Play Videos in HD by default!?

[sampotts]

@jelkomme If you've not gathered already, it's not something Plyr has any control over.

The changes explained below have been in effect for more than one year. This update merely aligns the documentation with current functionality:

The getPlaybackQuality, setPlaybackQuality, and getAvailableQualityLevels functions are no longer supported. In particular, calls to setPlaybackQuality will be no-op functions, meaning they will not actually have any impact on the viewer's playback experience.

Source: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#october-24,-2019

If you want it restored, I'd suggest reaching out to YouTube/Google, but I don't fancy your chances. Good luck!

[jelkomme]

@sampotts Hi, thanks for the quick response. I just need a player for my website, it can even be the standard YouTube player without a Plyr skin, as long as it has copyright protection (i.e. it doesn't allow clicking on the title, sharing, checking the source file code URL of the video, etc.). like its already beeng integrated withing your player by this WP-plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/protected-video/ - so like you see in the plugin its possble to add some sort of "protection".

Would you be able to take on such a custom job because i need that quality check for my videos?
