How to set specific quality of video depending on the internet speed

Question

I am having three URL for the videos, one with Low-Quality, Medium-Quality and High-Quality. Now, I want to determine the internet speed and depending on that I would like to show the video from appropriate URL and if in between, the internet speed found good then URL should be switched to high-quality one and continue playing from there. So, can anyone suggest how can I make it happen, I have searched for it but not be able to find any strong solution for it.

Your trying to build an adaptive streaming player, effectively. For Apple devices, streamed content can be served up in HLS format. Instead of building that capability, you should look for a player that can do that adaptive streaming and a server backend that can support adaptive streaming as well.

For instance, Microsoft Azure Media Services provides such functionality. They even provide a web-based player that you can embed in your app on a webview.
