Videojs Warn Player.tech--.hls Is Deprecated. Use Player.tech--.vhs Instead !!install!! May 2026

Video.js HTTP Streaming (VHS) replaced the separate videojs-contrib-hls and DASH plugins.

var player = videojs('my-video'); player.ready(function() { // Use .vhs instead var vhs = player.tech().vhs; if (vhs) { console.log(vhs.playlists.master); } }); Use code with caution. 2. Update Configuration Options Update Configuration Options VHS is bundled by default

VHS is bundled by default in Video.js 7 and 8 , offering improved cross-browser compatibility and features like low-latency HLS . Potential "Undefined" Issues javascript var player = videojs('my-video'); player

If your JavaScript code manually accesses the HLS object to change quality levels, tracks, or metadata, change hls to vhs . javascript javascript var player = videojs('my-video')

If you switch to .vhs and it returns undefined , check the following: videojs-http-streaming (VHS) - GitHub

If you are passing options to the player during initialization, update the key from hls to vhs within the html5 object. javascript

var player = videojs('my-video'); player.ready(function() { // This triggers the warning var hls = player.tech().hls; console.log(hls.playlists.master); }); Use code with caution. javascript
