Allow fine-tuning hls.js configuration

[geneukum]

hls.js accepts a bunch of different configuration parameters which can be used to fine-tune the player's performance and behaviors: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/blob/master/docs/API.md#fine-tuning.

hls-video-element owns the Hls instance and does not provide a way to inject additional configuration parameters: https://github.com/muxinc/media-elements/blob/main/packages/hls-video-element/hls-video-element.js#L45.

Would it be possible to add this as a feature?

This feature would be great, especially to better control the default quality (abrEwmaDefaultEstimate)

[mrdoinel]

This is actually possible to customize the Hls default settings :

import { Hls } from 'hls-video-element'

Object.assign(Hls.DefaultConfig, {
    startLevel: -1,
    useDevicePixelRatio: true,
    capLevelToPlayerSize: true,
    abrEwmaDefaultEstimate: 500000 * 2,
    abrEwmaDefaultEstimateMax: 5000000
})
