Changed

• Video Core: Updated the bundled @newrelic/video-core dependency to v5.1.1 and pinned it to this exact version (previously ^5.0.1), so every build uses the same core release.
• Dependency pinning: dependencies and devDependencies are now pinned to the exact versions already resolved in package-lock.json, so a fresh install no longer picks up newly published releases of build tooling.

New features

• Added VegaTracker, an HLS.js tracker for Amazon Vega (Kepler / Fire TV class) devices. Import it via the new @newrelic/video-hls/vega subpath entry point. VegaTracker extends HLSTracker and routes telemetry through the connected-device pipeline instead of the browser pipeline. Ships as both CJS and ESM.

Bug fixes

• Corrected the tracker name reported by VegaTracker from 'vega-hls' to 'hls' so that the trackerName attribute in New Relic events matches the expected value.

New features

• THEOplayer Web SDK support: Initial stable release of the New Relic THEOplayer tracker for browser environments. Import via @newrelic/video-theo/browser.
• Browser entry point: Dedicated @newrelic/video-theo/browser subpath that excludes the Vega/connected-device pipeline for browser-only bundles.
• Bitrate tracking: Reports contentBitrate, contentManifestBitrate, contentSegmentDownloadBitrate, and contentNetworkDownloadBitrate.
• Rendition quality tracking: Tracks active rendition height, width, and bandwidth via track-level quality change events.
• Multi-format support: HLS and DASH streams supported through THEOplayer's native adaptive streaming.

Improvements

• @newrelic/video-core updated to 5.1.0, enabling QoE drain callbacks on sendStart/sendEnd via getHarvester().
• Player name: playerName attribute reports as THEOplayer.
• Error code handling: errorCode is omitted from events when no SDK-provided code is available, avoiding meaningless sentinel values in NRDB.
