How to get HLS instance in v3?

[mtnair]

In v2, I was able to retrieve the HLS instance of the player by calling playerRef.current.getInternalPlayer('hls'). This doesn't work anymore in v3, and I didn't find any documentation on how to achieve this.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I ran into the same issue and found a workaround. You can access the HLS instance through ref.current.api while this property is not inferred (so you would have to cast the ref.current to any).

React Player now uses hls-video-element internally for hls.js wrapper and this package creates custom element named hls-video. This element seemed to have HlsVideoElement interface.
