Why should I pay for Radiant Media Player when I can just use an open-source & free player like video.js?

• Open-source is not free. There is an inherent cost to using and maintaining open-source software for your project. This cost can rapidly become greater than the cost of using specialised software.
• Advanced & innovative features that are not available with open-source players.
• Professional technical support.
• Short-cycle player updates. All supported features for Radiant Media Player are actively maintained. It is not uncommon to see a video.js plugin without any updates for months or that is no longer maintained.
• Customer-driven roadmap.

At the end of the day it is up to you to opt for the solution that you are comfortable with. There is no right or wrong answer to the above question.

How long does it take to set up Radiant Media Player?

Our one code integration strategy and responsive player should make it easy to include Radiant Media Player in any kind of web page, framework, CMS (WordPress, Drupal ...) or blogging system near-instantly. Just configure your player code and copy/paste it where you want it to stand in your web page / CMS. For more advanced use-cases the player can also be dynamically included on a web page with server-side languages like PHP.

Does Radiant Media Player host or encode my video content?

No. We try to keep our focus on building a great media player. Some of our partners offer such services: Wowza or Nimble Streamer can provide video hosting/encoding services at reasonable rates.

Does Radiant Media Player provide ad-serving services?

No. You will need to contract with a 3rd-party ad server in order to deliver video ads in our player. A list of common names can be found here but any VAST-compliant ad server will work with Radiant Media Player.

Yes. We provide professional email-based technical support for each Radiant Media Player customer. To request technical support visit our support page.
