Since Video.js 7, the player uses a unified engine called (Video.js HTTP Streaming) to handle both HLS and DASH streams. This change ensures a more consistent API regardless of the streaming protocol being used. How to Fix the Deprecation Warning
If you switch to .vhs and it returns undefined , check the following: videojs-http-streaming (VHS) - GitHub Since Video
If your JavaScript code manually accesses the HLS object to change quality levels, tracks, or metadata, change hls to vhs . javascript Since Video.js 7
If you are passing options to the player during initialization, update the key from hls to vhs within the html5 object. javascript Since Video
If you are seeing the warning it is because your code is still using the older videojs-contrib-hls naming convention.
