Getting Started

Get a copy of videojs-contrib-hls and include it in your page along with video.js:

<video id=player width=600 height=300 class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls>
  <source src="https://example.com/index.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">
</video>
<script src="video.js"></script>
<script src="videojs-contrib-hlsjs.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs('#player');
</script>

Options

hls.js is very configurable, you may pass in an options object to the source handler at player initialization. You can pass in options just like you would for other parts of video.js:

<video id=player width=600 height=300 class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls>
  <source src="https://example.com/index.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">
</video>
<script src="video.js"></script>
<script src="videojs-contrib-hlsjs.js"></script>
<script>
    var player = videojs('video', {
        autoplay: true,
        html5: {
            hlsjsConfig: {
                debug: true
            }
        }
    });
</script>
