setting. With the release of Radiant Media Player
5.3.0, we introduced a new mobile-first volume management
interface. For use-cases where muted-autoplay was
used, rapidly unmuting 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:

allow for player aria labels customisationsetVolume and getVolume

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.
