Events

MethodDescription
.on('levels')Fired when the list of available quality levels is updated. Happens e.g. shortly after a playlist item starts playing.
.on('levelsChanged')Fired when the active quality level is changed. Happens in response to e.g. a user clicking an option in the quality menu or a script calling setCurrentQuality.
.on('visualQuality')Fired when the active quality level is changed for HLS. This is different than levelsChanged since this will trigger when adaptive streaming automatically shifts quality.
