Resolution switch

JW Player — Apr 04, 2014 09:10AM EDT

Is there a possibility to switch resolution of the video in JW Player like in Youtube (f.e. 360p, 480p, 720p)?
How is it realized?

So is this something that won't be implemented in 5.4?

Correct; this feature won’t be implemented right away. We haven’t forgotten it, but it’s not planned for immediate release.

This has not been implemented. Using the HD plugin is still your best bet.

The HD plugin is not free. We want a "resolution-switch" mostly for youtube videos like youtube player "360p, 480p, 720p etc." That will be great.

The JW Player isn’t free either (for commercial use). ;-)

As for having a user-controlled resolution switch, there isn’t currently a plugin which does this. If you’d like to build one yourself, I’d encourage you to check out these docs:
