At Radiant Media Player we are committed to providing support for the latest technologies from the online video world. WebRTC assisted streaming offers a great way to improve viewer experience and to reduce content delivery cost. As such we have partnered with StriveCast in order to make StriveCast eCDN & Analytics technology available out of the box with Radiant Media Player.
StriveCast solves the problem of network congestion in corporate networks during the use of video collaboration tools. Use StriveCast 100% browser-based eCDN to deliver high-quality webcasts and live events across your organization. StriveCast analytics enables you to visualize statistics of your live streaming events and webcasts – in real-time or on-demand.

All Radiant Media Player features can be used in conjunction with StriveCast eCDN technology. Where StriveCast support is not available (e.g. iOS Safari) the player will gracefully fallback to "classic" HLS delivery (e.g. not WebRTC-accelerated).
