FastPix Player: custom quality controls, overlay slots, and the move to fastpix.com

The FastPix Player gains custom quality controls, named overlay slots, and more reliable spritesheet hover previews, and its built-in endpoints have moved to fastpix.com.

What’s new:

• Custom quality API: new methods (getQualityLevels, setQualityLevel, setQualityAuto, getPlaybackQuality) and events (fastpixqualitylevelsready, fastpixqualitychange, fastpixqualityfailed) let you build your own quality menu, with a --resolution-selector: none CSS variable to hide the built-in button.

• Named overlay slots: eight slot regions (top, center, and bottom rows) let you place any HTML over the video as light-DOM children of <fastpix-player>, with CSS variables for stacking order and seek-bar clearance and a user-slots shadow part for page-level styling.

• More reliable spritesheet hover previews: new spritesheet-src, enable-advanced-spritesheet, and advanced-spritesheet-interval attributes, plus instant scrub interactivity, support for both the legacy and grid JSON schemas, deterministic image URLs, and safer tile lookups.

• Domain migration to fastpix.com: the player’s default HLS playback, DRM license and certificate, spritesheet/poster, and shoppable-cart hosts moved from fastpix.io to fastpix.com. The .io hosts still serve traffic but are slated for deprecation, so plan to migrate to .com.

• Internal hardening: a code sanitization and maintainability pass with no public API, attribute, or runtime behavior changes, so existing integrations upgrade transparently.
