Looks good as far as I can tell 👍
One thing I noticed missing, is updating the installation instructions inREADME.md, where we have videojs version pinned to 7.*.
I'm not sure whether we should update this now or later when we release this change. What do you think?

I'm not sure either. It is probably fine to leave the note alone for now and update it at the next release, but then we have to remember to update it. If we want to update now, maybe we could change the note to something like |
In testing the Video.js 8.10.0, it looks like they fixed the root cause of the issues we were seeing with oversized captions in mobile devices. As such, the override that we had put in place was causing the captions to display incorrectly.

This PR upgrades Video.js to 8.10.0 and @silvermine/videojs-quality-selector to 1.3.1.
In my testing, all of the custom components seemed to be working as I would expect on all platforms once the File Downloader component had been updated to the new format required by Video.js.
I did encounter a change in behavior with captions on mobile devices where the text was covering the video. In Video.js 8.4.0 they implemented a change to force text tracks to overlay the video player. Our custom CSS to override text track size resulted in the overlaid text track being too large in font so I have removed that CSS.
