getQualities and setQuality not working with 'auto' on mobile only

[daviddfm]

Expected Behavior

getQualities() and setQuality() return and accept 'auto' which is the default setting on mobile not just on desktop

Actual Behavior

getQualities() for mobile returns:

[
  {
    "id": "1080p",
    "label": "1080p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "720p",
    "label": "720p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "540p",
    "label": "540p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "360p",
    "label": "360p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "240p",
    "label": "240p",
    "active": false
  }
]

without auto which is the default and explains why no active is active: true but on same video for desktop returns:

[
  {
    "id": "auto",
    "label": "Auto",
    "active": true
  },
  {
    "id": "1080p",
    "label": "1080p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "720p",
    "label": "720p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "540p",
    "label": "540p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "360p",
    "label": "360p",
    "active": false
  },
  {
    "id": "240p",
    "label": "240p",
    "active": false
  }
]

Steps to Reproduce

Watch this webinar replay which uses the player. Quality button is on bottom-left of video. Auto setting shows up on desktop but not mobile.

thanks for the feedback @daviddfm. on mobile there is no auto setting for the qualities I believe because it doesn't support adaptive bitrate switching but getQuality() shouldn't return auto and there might need to be a quality active, I'll have a look at this.

@luwes Any chance that the Vimeo team could add the ability to set quality explicitly (no auto) on mobile? I'm embedding the Vimeo player in a native app webview right now and we have the use case where we want to have different user-set data modes for everything. Having this feature would be super helpful!
