playing content would require an additional step which may not have always been user-friendly. When
autoplayMutedDisplayQuickUnmuteButton is set to true a quick shortcut button to unmute content will now display on player when player is started in muted autoplay mode. Once content has been unmuted this button will disappear.

When volume management matters on mobile devices as well! Radiant Media Player 5.3 brings to the player table an innovative and mobile-first approach to volume management. With the recent availability of volume management for Android devices we have created a dedicated touch-oriented volume module which vastly improves the user experience on both mobile and desktop. Other new features for 5.3 release, including audio-only playlist, are listed below:

Radiant Media Player 5 offers a new way to optimise player loading and start-up by providing optimised builds that pre-pack common features. It is recommended to start using those pre-pack builds when possible. No matter what build you
use, if you request a specific feature that is not available in the selected build by default, the player will attempt to load the required dependency when needed - so if you are not sure what to use, simply include the generic rmp.min.js build.
See our docs for a
list of available builds.
