videojs-settings
============

A settings plugin for Hola Video.JS fork. Shows a menu with optional 3 items:

1. Technical info – shows overlay with video tech info
2. Quality select – if possible, user can select different quality for current video
3. Report playback issue – automatically send player logs to Hola (for now this feature is working only with Hola CDN)

Extra features:
- minimal right-click context menu;
- default volume/quality (if available) configuration;
- persistent volume/quality saved accross page reloads (if [hola/videojs-utils](https://github.com/hola/videojs-utils) included).

## Quick start

  ```

2. Set `plugins` option for your Video.js setup:

  In video tag `data-setup` attribute in your html
  ```html
  <video ... data-setup='{"plugins":{"settings":{"info":true,"report":true,"quality":true}}}'>
    <source src="http://cdn.example.com/static/mp4/example_1080p.mp4" type="video/mp4" label="high" />
    <source src="http://cdn.example.com/static/mp4/example_720p.mp4" type="video/mp4" label="medium" />
    <source src="http://cdn.example.com/static/mp4/example_360p.mp4" type="video/mp4" label="low" default />
  </video>
  ```
