API Reference

Attributes

Forwards these standard media attributes to the internal <video>. See the MDN media element reference: autopictureinpictureautoplaycontrolscontrolslistcrossorigindisablepictureinpicturedisableremoteplaybackloadingloopmutedplaysinlineposterpreloadsrc

These Video.js-specific attributes configure media behavior:

Attribute	Type	Default	Details
`stream-type`	`MediaStreamType \| NonNullable<Target["streamType"]>`	`—`
Description Current stream type (`'on-demand'`, `'live'`, or `'unknown'`). Defaults to `'unknown'`; detecting hosts update it automatically, and consumers can set it to override detection.

Properties

Property	Type	Default
`contentData`	`Target["contentData"] \| undefined`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`engine`	`MediaPlayerClass`	`—`
Description Read-only. Underlying playback engine — the dash.js `MediaPlayerClass` instance. An advanced escape hatch for direct engine access; normal playback is driven through this element's own properties and methods.
`isFullscreen`	`boolean`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`isPictureInPicture`	`boolean`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`liveEdgeStart`	`number`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`source`	`DashSource \| null`	`null`
Description Structured source: the MPD URL in `src`, plus dash.js settings in `engine.dashJs`. Replacing it re-derives `src`. dash.js takes settings on a live player, so changing `engine.dashJs` re-applies them in place instead of recreating the engine.
`src`	`string`	`''`
`streamType`	`MediaStreamType \| NonNullable<Target["streamType"]>`	`—`
Description Current stream type (`'on-demand'`, `'live'`, or `'unknown'`). Defaults to `'unknown'`; detecting hosts update it automatically, and consumers can set it to override detection.
`targetLiveWindow`	`number`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`webkitCurrentPlaybackTargetIsWireless`	`boolean \| undefined`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`webkitPresentationMode`	`WebKitPresentationMode \| undefined`	`—`
Description Read-only.
`webkitSetPresentationMode`	`((mode: WebKitPresentationMode) => void) \| undefined`	`—`
Description Read-only.
