JW Player 7: manual quality change in HLS video fires 'play' API event
When changing quality manually in HLS video the API fires a play event. Since we want to use those events for extra tracking statistics this would add 'play' events which do not reflect real play events when user clicks play.
Switching manually back to quality "Auto" does not fire 'play', which is good. Also automatic quality changes are not firing 'play'. Why does manual quality change fire 'play' and can this be fixed?
I provided a demo here but could not get the m3u8 to run (instead the mp4 fallback plays). Don't know why. In my local development site everything works.
