Hi, I’d like to suggest a small UX enhancement for the videojs-contrib-quality-menu plugin.

Feature idea:
Add an optional config (e.g., showCurrentResolutionOnGear: true) that displays the currently playing resolution (like 240p, 720p, 1080p, etc.) as a small label or badge on the gear icon — even while the player is in Auto mode.

Why this is useful:

  • Users watching on Auto mode have no visibility into what resolution is currently being streamed.
  • Other platforms like YouTube and Twitch show a small indicator for current quality without requiring a click.
  • It would be helpful both for debugging and improving user trust/feedback.

How it could work:

  • Dynamically update the resolution on each quality switch
  • Place it next to or below the gear icon as a small, unobtrusive label
  • Fallback to "Auto" if resolution data is unavailable

Example (visual):
[ ⚙️ ] → [ ⚙️ 720p ]

This would make the plugin more transparent and polished from a viewer's perspective.

Let me know what you think — and I’d be happy to test or prototype this if needed. Thanks!
