Bug fixes
Properly reads NAME attribute first, then LANGUAGE in HLS manifest (#EXT-X-MEDIA) for multiple audio tracks (LANGUAGE would be read first in previous releases)
9.0.0 - March 2, 2023 PRODUCTION
New API custom event system (breaking change)
API events are now registered to player instance with the on and one methods and unregistered with the off method. We no longer
use addEventListener or
removeEventListener with synthetic DOM events - instead we have built a full custom event system within the player library. This allows for events to be dispatched faster and prevents polluting the DOM with synthetic events
which could lead to edge bugs difficult to troubleshoot.
Full Google Analytics 4 support (breaking change)
Our updated Google Analytics 4 integration now requires developers to explicitly add the Google tag (gtag.js) on the page where the player stands. The player no longer automatically
load and configure Google Analytics client-side JavaScript library. This allows for more advanced configuration of Google tag
Adds enableGAVideoTracking setting
Adds gaEventParameters setting and related getGaEventParameters and
setGaEventParameters API methods
Adds 13000 warning: "Google tag is not installed on this page -> cannot send data to Google Analytics"
PLATFORM Edition allowlisting and denylisting (breaking change)
When submitting JSON allowlisting and denylisting files to our back-end, the JSON file needs to
adhere to a new structure: "blacklist" key is replaced with "denylist" key, "whitelist" key is replaced with "allowlist" key, "appWhitelist" key is replaced with "appAllowlist" key - while you can still use the old keys for backward
compatibility reasons it is recommended to use the new keys when updating to Radiant Media Player 9+
New player settings
Adds googleCastDisableAds setting
Added customAllowDenyListUrl setting
Bug fixes
Fixes a UI issue with adForceNativeFullscreenOnIosForAds where replay icon would show on iOS instead of pause button
Fixes a UI issue when swapping from VOD content to live content in a playlist where content time and duration would not update properly
hideExternalPlayerLabels now hides volume label as well
When HLS with multiple audio tracks do not have a lang property make sure to still display audio tracks in the UI
Fixes a UI issue where CC/audio/quality menu could collide with content time/duration on smaller sizes
Fixes a UI issue where long content duration could cause overflow of text for current time/duration at smaller player sizes
Fixes translation of "LIVE" label for Scandinavian languages
Allows CMAF HLS streams to play on our Google Cast receiver application (setting useShakaForHls flag to
true)
Breaking changes

gaEventParameters
getGACategory, setGACategory, getGALabel,
setGALabel API methods are now removed and replaced with

Removed gaTrackingId, gaTrackingIdAlt settings because of the updated Google Analytics 4 integration that no longer automatically load Google Analytics client-side JavaScript library

Google Analytics 3 is no longer supported - while it could still work with our player we no longer support Google Analytics 3
