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

var player = videojs('my-video', { html5: { hls: { overrideNative: true } } }); Use code with caution. javascript
