Radiant Media Player offers 6 different player skins each with a different look and feel and optimised for cross-device rendering. They can be customised through skin-colorization or CSS to better fit your project requirements.
A player skin is set with the skin player setting:
skin: String
The name of the skin to be used - available values are: 's1', 's2', 's3', 's4', 'outstream', 'tv'. Default: 's1'.
If you have multiple players on the same page, all players will have the same skin: the first skin loaded.
You can see all 6 skins
live here.
The 'outstream' should be used in the context of
using outstream video ads.
The 'tv' skin should be used in the context of
developing a TV app.
hideControls: Boolean
Hide player controls. Default: false. You can build your own user interface as such through our JavaScript API. Note that all UI elements (including loading icons) are hidden in this mode.
delayToFade: Number
Represents the delay in milliseconds before the overlay control bar fades away when no user interaction is detected. Default: 2800.
delayToFadeoutVolumeUI: Number
Represents the delay in milliseconds before the overlay desktop volume UI fades away. Default: 400.
hideSeekBar: Boolean
Hide player seek bar. This effectively prevents seeking into a video. This should only be used for on-demand video content. This also disables keyboard control for seeking. Default: false.
hideFullscreen: Boolean
Hide player fullscreen button. This effectively prevents entering into fullscreen mode. This also disables keyboard control for fullscreen. Default: false.
hideVolume: Boolean
Hide player volume button. This also disables keyboard control for volume. Default: false.
hideCentralPlayButton: Boolean
Permanently hide the player central play button. Default: false which means the player central play button is displayed.
hideCentralBuffering: Boolean
Permanently hide the player central buffering overlay (animated wave or spinner depending on skin when player is buffering data). Default: false which means the player central buffering overlay is displayed when buffering happens.
backgroundColor: String
Set the player background colour in hex colour format (typically shown in certain aspect-ratio configuration or when no poster setting is provided). Default: '000000'.
fullWindowSkin: Boolean
Set the skin (s1, s2, s3, s4, outstream) to be having a full window layout. Default: false.
fadeInPlayer: Boolean
When fadeInPlayer is set to true, the player will have a CSS fadeIn effect (400 ms) as it becomes ready, giving a nicer player introduction to the viewer. Default: true.
uiSeparator: String
The player will use a separator character in the sharing and quality modules. This setting lets you tune this character. Default: '-'.
The 4 player skins ('s1', 's2', 's3', 's4') can easily be colorized using the following player settings.
skinBackgroundColor: this setting will colorize the background of the skin (String, default to '')skinButtonColor: this setting will colorize the buttons and texts of the skin (String, default to '')skinAccentColor: this setting will colorize secondary UI elements of the skin - like hover state for buttons (String, default to '')The above parameters accept either HEX color code (example: 'FF0000') or rgba color code (example: 'rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.8)') for transparency support.
Player code example - see this example here
<!-- Include Radiant Media Player JavaScript file in your <body> or <head> --> <script src="https://cdn.radiantmediatechs.com/rmp/5.11.5/js/rmp.min.js"></script> <!-- Player container element --> <div id="rmpPlayer"></div> <!-- Set up player configuration options --> <script> // Your streaming source - HLS in this example var src = { hls: 'https://your-hls-url.m3u8' }; // Your player settings var settings = { licenseKey: 'your-license-key', src: src, width: 640, height: 360, skin: 's1', contentMetadata: { poster: [ 'https://your-poster-url.jpg' ] }, // Here starts our colorization settings skinBackgroundColor: '01579B', skinButtonColor: 'FFD180', skinAccentColor: 'FF9100' }; var elementID = 'rmpPlayer'; var rmp = new RadiantMP(elementID); rmp.init(settings); </script>
Radiant Media Player skins can be customised through CSS. Source CSS and LESS files are available for each player skin in our back-end within the self-hosting player files package.
When doing advanced CSS work on the player you must self-host the player files.
First navigate to the css/ folder within the self-hosted player package and inspect it. Player icons are located in the fonts/ folder (rmp-font.* files).
Option 1: tuning with Less
open the rmp-s1.less file (or another rmp-s*.less file) - this is the file for the 's1' skin. You will see that it references several .less files:
contentMetadata.title and
contentMetadata.description featureYou can apply your modifications to each .less file you want to tune. You will then need to use a less compiler to output your changes to CSS.
Option 2: tuning with CSS
open rmp-s1.css (or another rmp-s*.css file) and apply your modifications
In all cases you will need to minify (a.k.a. compress) your modified CSS file to rmp-s1.min.css in place of the former rmp-s1.min.css file (or another rmp-s*.min.css file for the other skins). The player will then automatically pick up the CSS changes.
The player loads its CSS dynamically with JavaScript after init is called on player - which means that any CSS you may apply to the player when page loads may be overwritten at a later stage (e.g. after init has been
called). Typically one can know when player CSS is loaded and applied when the player ready event fires. You may use
CSS specificity to override the player CSS (while a limited use of the !important exception is generally accepted in the industry using CSS specificity is a much better
approach). This could work for simple CSS modifications. However for any advanced CSS work on the player you should follow the steps above to modify the core player CSS and let the player load the modified CSS through its own logic.
This is not an exhaustive list of CSS classes for the player but rather some high-level information about the player DOM structure. If you want to extensively customise the player UI with CSS you are going to need to use a DOM inspector at some point to better understand the player layout.
.rmp-container class: this is the player container element where all UI elements are appended.rmp-content class (child of .rmp-container): this is where the video tag, poster frame or captions rendering area are appended.rmp-overlay-button class (child of .rmp-container): the overlay central play button.rmp-mobile-central-ui class (child of .rmp-container): on mobile we do not use
.rmp-overlay-button but a specific central UI.rmp-loading-spin class (child of .rmp-container): the central loading spinner.rmp-outline class (child of .rmp-container): the control bar at the bottom of .rmp-container.rmp-module class (children of .rmp-container): the module UI - more information on player modules
can be found hereAll the following classes are set on player container (div with
.rmp-container class) based on player settings or mode:
.rmp-chrome class on player container. When the player UI elements are not visible the player has a .rmp-no-chrome class on player container.rmp-fullscreen-on class on player container.rmp-fullscreen-on-ipad class on player container.rmp-full-window-on class on player container.rmp-live class on player container.rmp-live-dvr class on player container.rmp-dvr-rec class on player container.rmp-mobile class on player container.rmp-cast-available class on player container.rmp-casting class on player container.rmp-airplay-available class on player container.rmp-audio-only class on player container.rmp-audio-only-use-video-layout class on player container.rmp-pip-on class on player container
.rmp-linear-ad-ui class is on player containeradBlockerDetectedPreventPlayback setting set to true) following detection of an ad-blocker the .rmp-ad-block-detected class is on player container.rmp-quick-rewind-or-forward-ui class on player container.rmp-quick-rewind-and-forward-ui class on player container.rmp-error-ui class on player container
.rmp-playlist-ui class on player container
.rmp-related-ui class on player container
contentMetadata.title setting) it has a
.rmp-title-ui class on player container.rmp-module-overlay-open class on player container.rmp-volume-desktop-ui class on player container.rmp-tv-player class on player containerPlayer icons font is located in the css/fonts/ folder of the self-hosted package:
You can use icomoon to generate your own set of icons if you want to customize player icons. Then:
@font-face in css/import-less/helpers/fonts.less with your own files
content and
font-size property of each icon you want to customize - then do the same for icons of the skin you want to customize
When the player is resized (for example on player load, orientation change or window resizing) the player will add resizing classes to its container based on its current width. Those resizing classes change the layout of the player to better fit the current player size and are applied at common break points for devices available on the market:
.rmp-extrasmall class is present.rmp-small class is present.rmp-medium class is presentMost of the player CSS magic happens at .rmp-extrasmall and
.rmp-small sizes.
Eventually you may want to go one step further and build your own set of player controls from scratch. You can do this by setting hideControls to true and using
our player API to command the player (play/pause, volume, seek ...).
