Added API and ability to set maximum bitrate cap

Vinay Rosenberg requested to merge github/fork/dsparacio/maxBitrateAllowed into development

Created by: dsparacio

  • When switching multi-bitrate content (auto or manual mode) this property specifies the maximum bitrate allowed.
  • If you set this property to a value lower than that currently playing, the switching engine will switch down to satisfy this requirement.
  • If you set it to a value that is lower than the lowest bitrate, it will still play that lowest bitrate.
  • If you set this property lower than the initial bitrate value it will start on the lower value of the two.
  • You can set or remove this bitrate cap at anytime before or during playback.
  • To clear this setting you must use the API and set the value param to NaN.
  • This feature is typically used to reserve higher bitrates for playback only when the player is in large or full-screen format.
