Is there any way to automatically detect if a user can handle a higher video resolution?

Right now I'm setting the user playback quality to 'default' in onPlayerReady. I can check if there is a higher resolution available using getAvailableQualityLevels()-1 in the onPlayerStateChange but I don't know if changing the resolution will cause issues.

It seems there is no direct way to do it. But as this previous post suggests, you can do it using two ways:

  1. Use the javascript method in this post.
  2. Use the buffered video size as a quality estimate

Over the suggested methods my suggestion is to make it a slow process more like a kalman filter. Hope it helps.
