To silence the warning and ensure compatibility, replace any direct references to .hls with .vhs in your JavaScript code. javascript
Historically, Video.js used a dedicated plugin called videojs-contrib-hls to parse and stream HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) content in non-native environments. Developers accessed this underlying engine directly via player.tech().hls to handle complex operations like listening to playlist updates or appending authentication headers. To silence the warning and ensure compatibility, replace
var player = videojs('my-video', vhs: // Enable CORS credentials withCredentials: true, // Allow redirects for manifests and segments handleManifestRedirects: true, // Use native HLS on Safari (true) or force VHS (false) overrideNative: false, // Limit the buffer ahead to reduce memory usage maxBufferLength: 30, // Maximum time allowed for seeking seekTo: 10 var player = videojs('my-video', vhs: // Enable CORS
Have questions about more complex VHS migrations? Check out the official @videojs/http-streaming documentation on GitHub or open an issue on the Video.js discussion board. Search your codebase for:
<script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/7.20.3/video.js"></script> <script> var player = videojs('my-video'); player.src( src: 'https://example.com/stream.m3u8', type: 'application/x-mpegURL' ); </script>
If you did not write this code yourself, the warning is likely coming from a plugin (such as a quality selector, an analytics tracker, or a chromecast plugin).
