To understand why this warning exists, we need to look at the evolution of Video.js HLS playback.
The warning appears when your code (or a plugin you are using) attempts to access HLS-specific properties via the old player.tech().hls path. To resolve it, you must update your references to use vhs . 1. Update Runtime Access
// Deprecated var player = videojs('my-video', html5: hls: withCredentials: true ); // Correct var player = videojs('my-video', html5: vhs: withCredentials: true ); Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Quick Troubleshooting
This warning appears because Video.js has updated its internal naming convention for the HTTP Live Streaming engine. The hls property on the tech object is being phased out in favor of vhs (Video.js HTTP Streaming).
VHS is the modern successor that handles both HLS and DASH streams using a single engine. While HLS is still supported, the specific API property hls has been renamed to vhs to reflect this multi-format capability. Why the Change?
