You can subscribe to the `onVideoPlaybackQualityChanged` listener of the `Source` to get the currently displayed video quality, which should include `width` and `height`, at least if those values are specified in the HLS playlist.

See our documentation for details:

This work only for streams, but what about VOD (when source is mp4 file for example)?

I see. I don’t think this is supported for progressive mp4 files. As mp4 files have a single, fixed quality and resolution, there is typically not much value in the player providing that anyway.  
What’s your use case for this?
