setMaxAudioBitrate

Description

Set a maximum audio bitrate reachable through adaptive streaming.

When the bitrate is chosen through adaptive streaming (i.e., not enforced manually through APIs such as setAudioBitrate), the player will never switch to an audio quality with a bitrate higher than that value.

The exception being when no quality has a lower bitrate, in which case the minimum quality will always be chosen instead.

For example, if you want that audio qualities chosen automatically never have a bitrate higher than 1 Megabits per second you can call:

player.setMaxAudioBitrate(1e6);

Any limit can be removed just by setting that value to Infinity:

// remove audio bitrate higher limit
player.setMaxAudioBitrate(Infinity);

The effect of this method is persisted from content to content. As such, it can even be called when no content is currently loaded.

Note that this only affects adaptive strategies. Forcing the bitrate manually (for example by calling setAudioBitrate) bypass this limit completely.

Syntax

player.setMaxAudioBitrate(maxBitrate);

• arguments:

  1. maxBitrate number: Upper audio bitrate limit when adaptive streaming is enabled.
