When switching video quality, the video starts from the beginning instead of continuing from the same point.

Hello.

First I would like to thank the author for the wonderful plugin, great job, thank you very much!

I have encountered a small bug. I am using videojs-quality-selector plugin to switch video quality. The plugin works fine, when I switch the video quality, the video continues from the same point. However, after connecting the videojsx-vast-plugin, when I switch the video quality, the video starts playing from the beginning.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!

Hi @Alexander-Kane

I found the problem in the code. Not sure how to tackle it yet. I haven't really considered the scenario where the website changes the video source. Usually a player will request another VAST and show a new preroll etc. But in your situation, it's the same content but different quality.

In meantime, try adding this line before calling the vast method player.vast({/*your config here*/});:

player.on("loadstart", function() {
    player.ads.contentSrc = player.currentSrc();
});

Does it work for you?
