videojs-http-streaming (VHS) is a source handler for video.js that adds HLS and DASH playback, including MPEG-TS transmuxing and adaptive bitrate streaming, even in browsers without native support. It succeeds the deprecated videojs-contrib-hls project and is bundled with video.js 7.
Use cases
- play HLS streams in browsers without native HLS support
- add DASH playback to a video.js player
- stream live video with adaptive bitrate in the browser
- transmux MPEG-TS segments to fMP4 for playback
- play low-latency HLS streams in a web player
- handle content steering and multiple representations in video.js
When to choose
- you use video.js and need HLS or DASH playback
- you need adaptive streaming support across browsers including those lacking native HLS
- you want a maintained streaming solution built into video.js 7+
When to avoid
- you use the old videojs-contrib-hls repo, which is deprecated
- you need a standalone player rather than a video.js source handler
- you need streaming formats beyond HLS and DASH
