If they still serve video via Brightcove, seems like a big win for the Zencoder acquisition, which included the video.js player. I do see video.js in the source.

there's no Brightcove neither videojs, VHS was built from scratch and we have plans to open source it.

hey! VHS is actually a tribute to the old "Video Home System" :) We also name our releases with 80s movies, here are some examples of the latest versions:

- 2.63.0 Coming to America - 2.60.0 The Terminator - 2.59.0 Full Metal Jacket
