YouTube iFrame API “setPlaybackQuality” or “suggestedQuality” not working

Question

I\'m having some trouble setting the quality settings on a video via the Youtube iFrame API. This is my code:

var player;

player = new YT.Player(\'player\',         


        

Answer 1

another solution, stop video and use seekTo(). for live streaming you can skip seekTo(). The bad it will show buffering but the good is you have full control no matter what the player size.

var player = YT.get('videoid');
rate = 'small';
var currentTime = player.getCurrentTime();
player.stopVideo();
player.setPlaybackQuality(rate);
player.playVideo();
player.seekTo(currentTime, false);
