Overview
Switch Video Quality adds a quality switch button to the native wordpress video player (mediaelement.js), that allows to choose between different resolutions (e.g., SD and HD) and/or formats (mp4, webm, ogv) of a self-hosted html5-compatible video. Additionally it provides an iframe embed code to let your viewers embed your video into their website (optional).
Features:
- serve your videos in multiple qualities to let your viewers choose (just like youtube or vimeo)
- upload your video files directly to the wordpress media library or use a separate web server to host your files (direct URLs have to be entered manually)
- create a playlist when you have more than one video on a page (only one player needed). The playlist is placed below the player as a grid layout with thumbnails for each video …
