zencdn in "getting started" directions is not hosting 8.22.0 per docs

Open jrochkind opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Description

The Getting Started instructions use zencdn to host CSS and JS, as I write this refering to 8.22.0:

  <link href="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.22.0/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.22.0/video.min.js"></script>

However, those URLs result in 403 responses containing XML with an "access denied" message.

The CDN does not seem to host 8.23.0 or 8.21.0 either. The last version hosted in zencdn seems to be 8.20.0

This gives someone getting started a bad experience, as the "hello world" example doesn't actually work (there is no CSS or JS loaded), so before seeing a working example they'd have to debug why and work out a fix.

Not sure why zencdn isn't hosting anything after 8.20.0?

It looks as though the docs need to be updated with the latest version. https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.23.3/video.min.js works.
