KMPlayer |
The KMPlayer/KMP+ is a versatile media player which can cover various types of container format such as DVD, AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, Ogg Theora, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, and QuickTime among others. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways. The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Internal filters are not registered to user's system to keep it from being messed up with system filters.

It is still the best player. None of other player can play xSub subtitle even PotPlayer except Divx own player(but it has too less functionality). Also it has option to play 3D. I do not the new bloatware staff like social networking, but besides that, I like it.

Seriously though, people have moved forward a long ago. They no longer want a bloated application. I hope the author who also is an author of potplayer, keeps improving potplayer. KMPlayer is no longer a king. In fact it fell below MPC HC, MPC BE. Potplayer is the new king of all players! Thank you.

I had to remove the latest version (3.4) because any MKV file would freeze or not start. I hope they fix this soon.

The original author of KMPlayer, Kang Yong-Huee, sold the program to a commercial company called Pandora TV. Although it was great but with some bugs, after changing hands it got buggier. Stick with an old version (pre Pandora) or move on to PotPlayer by the author of KMPlayer, Kang Yong-Huee, and which is pretty much KMPlayer still being developed by the original author. That's where I've gone. Makes sense to me. PS the ratings I've given don't mean anything - posting here FORCES you to rate stuff. And the last version of KMP I used was 2.something

WTF! I just upgraded to the latest version and the menu system is so futzed that I can't figure out how to do anything. I can't even look up the version number because F1 only opens my browser, not the usual help file. All I want to do is play some music, but it is a challenge to get the player to open what I want. It always wants to open something else. There are several modes and I have not figured out how to get it out of the smallest shade mode. Any other program I can drop a location into the window and the player will play it. KMP does something else depending on what mode it is in. I am not a stupid person. If I can't figure out how to run a program, the program has a major problem!

At first I thought this was a great program, but the more that I used it the more problems I had with video synch. It has problems skipping around in the file and has occasional video speed problems. It doesn't skip the amount it's set to and sometimes it just won't skip at all. It also sometimes slows or stops the video (sound still playing) and then all of the sudden speeds it up until they're back in synch. No problems with the file in VLC or MPC or Sage TV or Nero ShowTime. above is someone else comment i have the same problem after installing the latest version but not in any previous one.

Plauback speed problem when switching audio streams! I had this problem in both Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64 in 2 different computers, and for 2 different movies. When playing a MKV (with AAC audio) file with more than 2 audio streams, the problem occur. The default audio strams plays normally. When i select another stream, the playback speed is reduced. Video and audio play slowly. Can nopt be adjusted by menu. When i select anotherr stream, it work normally. Again if i change the stream it works normally. Not a problem if it has 3 audio streams. To play 2nd stream, first 3rd stream should be selected and then selecting 2nd stream works. But that 'jilmart' is not applicable for dual audio files :) Hope this get corrected!

The KMPlayer provides arguably the best user interface among the software in its class. The interface is clean, simple and avoids any complex options that might confuse the users instead of helping them. This software can sometimes be a little heavy on the system and might slow your computer down a bit, but this is a very rare occurrence. I enjoy it!

I just tried out the latest version, and despite the fact I declined for additional software to be installed, other things were installed on my computer. Once I completely uninstalled it, come to find out, one of the processes related to KMPlayer was still running in the background, and it looked rather awkward to me, so fortunately, I stopped it from running, and deleted it. Beware of this software.

Saved me $800 in a minute. I live in a remote part of the world and only recently got access to 1 meg of bandwidth, so when I started getting access to HD media in x264 and H264 (instead of DIVX)and my VLC player couldn't play it. Because it would play XVID, I assumed it was the added compression that was the problem and my 3 year old Toshiba laptop was too slow to process it. So after scraping together the cash and researching the options for about a month, I came here trying to get someone to tell me the i5 machine I was just preparing to order would be fast enough in the play this media, when I came across a reference to KMPlayer.. This thing plays everything just fine..nothing else to be said. I may have to buy a new computer before I want to or intend to, but it won't be because my media won't play. So I guess you could say that this thing does what the Swiss Army kKnife of Media PLayers can't.. It cetainly worked for me.

I use KMPlayer for making screencaps (on Windows) and for that function, I've not found another tool that even comes close. My only complaints are that in later versions, they've hidden access to the menu so that you have to go in and enable it and that for some reason, I can't cap from DVD on a x64 install. I have to use an earlier version (.1428) As for the linux install, it's worthless with regard to capping which is a shame.

@Merwenus Don´t expect to much from them, the original developer Kang Yong-Huee left the project long time ago, since then the development has been atrocious, meaning no fixes, no new features, no support in the forum, the subject that is now as developer is only focusing in eyecandy and generating more bugs. A great alternative is Splayer, it´s free, open source and and works like a charm with most of videos formats, you can download the portable version here: http://file.splayer.org/splayer.7z VLC is another good choice but I didn´t find it so versatile as Splayer.

I realy like Kmplayer, but some of the moderators/legendary members just simple retards ... 5-6 ppl reported a bug 1.5 - 2 years ago, and developers havent fix this yet (it would take about 10 mins or so, in the EXE file to let use NUM 1-9 as hotkey). So I posted in 2 NOT similiar threads like ~bug report~, ~tech support~, I posted pictures, worked with the post, to show what IS the problem, and asking for help about it, maybe I can solve it easily by myself. They just deleted it, with a reason: SPAM ... 2 post was similar, and another was fully other BUT the same reason in ~new version come out~ 2 days before ... but they cant read of course :) Now I got bann because of this post: http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=78703#post78703 Did I use "strong words"? Did I repeat at least 3 times 1 post? No, it was 2 times, and I posted something else 2 days before that, so they cant count, also cant read :) and yes I've ben warned about "do not use strong words" - because I said in the previous post "is this a fucking joke?") Oh yes and to prove they are trully stupid, read the whole post, especially this one, my favourite: http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=56390#post56390 VictorVG just trully shows how stupid is he, at least MAD tried to help me ... (thanks for that!) ^^ And this is the private message I got from that idiot: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4774/sforumsaboutyourlatestp.png Maybe I cant read, so please show me where is the insult/bad word/spam in the topic: (If they delete this post too nevermind! I've captured it already) http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6043/sforums1275817119733.png (And now I will be bad, because I will SPAM this for a few Kmplayer forum, maybe one of the moderators will read it, and kick out that idiot Pantuflo ^^ from moderators)

Terribly unstable, it have problems to associate/dissociate filetypes, crash often playing HD files, it have focus problems at start, does not have a clean uninstall (leaves keys and traces everywhere), comes with a unnecessary toolbar as adware... It used to be a good player till Pandora TV ruined it.

It's now over a month since I uninstalled KMPlayer, but this morning I discovered lots more changes it had made in my registry. I can't understand the arrogance or insecurity of programmers who think that having their program rename lots of registry entries is acceptable or makes their work look impressive. I'd say - on the contrary - it makes them look unprofessional and untrustworthy. I wouldn't use this program, no matter how well it functions.

I didn't see a check box to stop the installation of the Ask.com bar, but maybe that's because I use big fonts on my machine and it was buried somewhere. Fortunately, I was saved by my anti-virus program, which gave me the chance to block its installation. That wasn't so bad. What I hated was that the program, without asking, "stole" all video associations and renamed lots of registry items (e.g. mpg File became KMPlayermpg file - or something like that). And the de-install was anything but clean on my WinXP machine. I spent thirty minutes or so cleaning up the registry by hand. My tests showed it to be a good player, but I can live without it. MPC and FFD show are fine for my needs, and they don't take over any associations - a practice I think is absolutely bad form. Even commercial products usually at least ask first. By the way, my low "value-for-money" rating was low because evening though it's free, I don't want to use it.

I'm a long time user of Media Player Classic for all vid and dipped into the Home Cinema incarnation for a while as MPC wasn't ebing developed. However, someone recommended I try this player about a month back and after the initial transition period of about 15 minutes I am glad I did try it out. Won't ever go back to MPC after trying this. MPC is a good player, but this is just better in every respect. I would say that it beats everything I've tried to date, even MPlayer, by a long way. Never could stick VLC, but still, no contest really. Excellent 10/10 (KMPlayer for video and WinAMP for audio) Re Ask toolbar. Just don't install it :-/ If you ridiculously write this excellent player off simply because you can't be bothered to uncheck a flamin' box then you are really looking up your own backside. You have eyes and a brain for a reason.

its not bad for divx and SD stuff but its much much worse than Splash for HD playback. this version is still unstable for AVCHD :/ GUI much better than mpc-hc but everything is too small, no doubleclick fullscreen? and minimizing to windows tray? what the hell, maybe this is good for people who watch porn and dont want their mummies to see it but for normal user this is useless :/

Just installed, No FAIL problems at all. Just uncheck the ASK check box. Interface is still not easily legible becuse of the small font and foreground/background choice of colors.(Different skin doesn't help) Otherwise, Fantastic.
