setVideoBitrate

Description

Force the current video track to be of a certain bitrate.

If a video quality in the current track is found with the exact same bitrate, this quality will be set.

If no video quality is found with the exact same bitrate, either:

• the video quality with the closest bitrate inferior to that value will be chosen.

• if no video quality has a bitrate lower than that value, the video quality with the lowest bitrate will be chosen instead.

By calling this method with an argument set to -1, this setting will be disabled and the RxPlayer will chose the right quality according to its adaptive logic.

You can use getAvailableVideoBitrates to get the list of available bitrates for the current video track.

Note that the value set is persistent between loadVideo calls. As such, this method can also be called when no content is playing (the same rules apply for future contents).

Syntax

player.setVideoBitrate(bitrate);

• arguments:

  1. bitrate Number: Optimal video bitrate (the quality with the maximum bitrate inferior to this value will be chosen if it exists).
