The measureShortEdge option to use a short edge to display the resolution for vertical video

[annahassel]

Using the minimum side to display the vertical video resolution as popular video players do. In fact, 1280x720 and 720x1280 videos have the same quality, but are now displayed as 720p and 1280p, which is incorrect.

p doesn't mean "short edge", it's the vertical resolution of a progressive scan video. It doesn't strictly imply a particular aspect ratio, although 16:9 would usually be assumed in the absence of other information.

You are definitely right! But in real cases, there is a product owner who needs features like the most popular services do. For example, YouTube, which shows a short edge to display the current quality (in the screenshot). Maybe you can make an option for this feature?

Thanks so much for the PR! This makes sense to me.

While Ben's right that p strictly refers to the vertical size of progressive scan video, it's become something of a shorthand for quality/resolution.

However, I think putting it behind an option would be ideal, so that we don't change the behavior out from under users of videojs-contrib-quality-menu.

Perhaps a boolean option called measureShortEdge?

It could be false by default and then in the next major version of the plugin we can flip it to true if there's consensus.

Looks good, just a suggestion to add to the option description.
