    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.
