Specify default quality

[metal450]

Is there a way to specify the default/initial quality that will be selected when the player first comes up? It seems there's no such option in the constructor, & I tried to figure out how to do it programmatically, both via this plugin directly and via videojs-contrib-quality-levels, but couldn't get it working. i.e.

// ...
var qualities = player.qualityLevels();
var qualitySelector = player.hlsQualitySelector({displayCurrentQuality:true});

qualities.on('addqualitylevel', () =>{
              if(qualities.length === 1) {
                console.log("Manually setting stream");
                qualitySelector.setQuality(360);
              }
            });

qualities.on('change', ()=> {
              console.log(`Stream changed to: ${qualities[qualities.selectedIndex].id}`);
            });
// ...

This updated the displayed selection on the UI, but didn't actually change the stream (i.e. the display showed 360p, but it was still playing a different quality). Same if I pass '360' (as a string) '360p', or 1 (the index).

I also tried directly setting it in qualityLevels plugin, but nothing seemed to work, i.e.:

qualityLevels.selectedIndex_ = 1;
qualityLevels.trigger({ type: 'change', selectedIndex: 1 });

Thanks in advance

I'm also interested, do you find the solution?

            const requestedQuality = parseInt(new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('quality'))
            if(requestedQuality) {

              var requestedQualityWasFound = false
              qualities.on('addqualitylevel', () => {

                // Don't do anything until actually load a stream that matches the requested quality
                var q = qualities[qualities.length - 1]
                if (q.height === requestedQuality) {
                  console.log(`Requested quality found; changing stream to: "${q.label}"`)
                  requestedQualityWasFound = true
                }
                if (!requestedQualityWasFound)
                  return

                // Once we find the requested quality, set it. Note: Intentionally continuing to call this
                // for all qualities that are loaded after the one that was requested - doesn't work otherwise!
                qualitySelector.setQuality(requestedQuality);
              })
            }
