Is there any way to tell when a video has been fully encoded at its highest definition via the API?

As far as I can tell, the YouTube API provides the ‘state’ of a video (processing, restricted, deleted, rejected and failed). However, I can’t tell if the API also provides the encoding qualities of the video (240p, 360p, 720i, etc…).

Does anyone know how to get this information?

    Taken directly from the docs:

    player.getPlaybackQuality():String

    This function retrieves the actual video quality of the current video. It returns undefined if there is no current video. Possible return values are highres, hd1080, hd720, large, medium and small.
