[Bizarre™]

<img src="http://www.nsanedown.com/images/logos/KMPlayer.png" class="logo" alt="KMPlayer" title="KMPlayer" />The KMPlayer is all in one media player covering various formats. It has an extra feature to play Incomplete/Damaged AVI file, Locked Media Files while downloading or sharing, Compressed Audio Album (zip, rar) and so on. 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 without grappling with DirectShow merit system. The player can set multifarious audio and video effects, control playback speed and octave, select parts of a video as favorites, do a powerful A-B repeat, remap the keys of remote interface for HTPC including overlay screen controls, change a skin dynamically depending on a media type playing, and many more. It is completely customizable thanks to a wide selection of skins and color schemes.

Sweet to see this player getting updated!

I've tried a LOT of different players (BS. Player, VLC, Media Player Classic Home Cinema to name a few), but ONLY KMPlayer will play 720p movies smooth on my computer, which is not the fastest one on earth :) So if you have any problems playing moviefiles, you should try this player, i can highly recommend it!

thanks for the comment i was about to ask what is better KMPlayer or VLC and my computer only has 192MB of ram since my main laptop died on me and i havent been able to play high quality movie files without alot of lag

@Dooohhh:

I can play 1080p videos with MPC-HC :)

I just need to change some settings in:

Options > Internal / External Filters

heh sure you can :) But to be honest i don't know much about how to properly set up the settings of a mediaplayer. But KMPlayer (and SMPlayer (which have started to crash (aaaargh)) by the way.) have always worked perfectly out-of-the-box, only by using their setup wizard.

Maybe you could share some info about how to set up your mediaplayer? In an other topic ofcourse :)

I got DXVA w/ MPC-HC decoder running too.. but update this soon? [1435 just out sometime ago] this is so unlike them, nice! :dance2:

edit: u sure this ain't beta? 1st topic here: http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25 says BETA1 :huh:

[jalaffa]

Still a Beta I think :s

• Select madVR in the right-click menu.
  
• Keyboard short keys (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+L ...)
  
• Crash with Haali Renderer after opening "Advanced Filter Info"
  
• Incremental detect aac.
  
• Fix no audio on TS file with internal splitter.
  
• Fix problems with EVR under VISTA.(video freezing)
  
• Fix number subtitle is skipped.
  
• Fix MKV with Mpeg inside without audio.

@Dooohhh:

In MPC-HC, go to View > Options.

2 categories would be of interest: Internal Filters and External Filters

In Internal Filters, uncheck all Source Filters and check all Transform Filters

In External Filters, add ffdshow Video Decoder and set to Block.

Note: These are the settings I use for 720p and above.

Thanks for the feedback Bizarre. A change of setup def. The company providing it ain't easy to track what their doing.

@jalaffa:

I'm also thinking it's still Beta.

BTW, their forum has 2 languages: Korea | English

Edit:

Added Beta to the title.

Although I'm not sure if it really is the case.

I use MPC-HC to watch everything including 1080p blueray rips with awesome quality on my laptop (with external monitor). I use it in conjunction with Shark007'swin7 codecs (he has them for vista too) which includes everything one needs to play everything, plus a truly great "settings app" that makes it a lot easier to control the filters and splitters one wants MPC-HC to use for particular file types. I use "GraphStudio" (free app) to quickly check which filters each file type is using and tweak them with Sharks settings app and MPC-HC until I get it using the specific filters and splitters that work best for each file type (which are not necessarily those that come with MPC-HC or native W7 codecs. With graphstudio, one just drags and drops the media file one is interested in checking into the app and the app presents a visual diagram (in order too) of the filters your system is currently using to decode it. I'm also using CoreAVC Pro (which is a paid filter, but of course there is a keygen) for h264 decoding. Sharks settings app controls CoreAVC quite nicely.

CoreAVC Pro, ffd show's video decoder, and MPC-HC all can do DXVA decoding but unfortunately, no matter which filter or player I use, I just can't get my laptop to play those files smoothly using DXVA. It's clearly a hardware issue with my graphics adapter even though it is supposed to support DXVA. I think its likely because it only has 128 mb of dedicated video ram. But fortunately everything plays great using the ordinary CPU decoding so its not a huge issue. (The next laptop I get is going to have the best video adapter I can get though.)

i use the MPC-HC decoder in KMPlayer.. needed some fiddling to get the DXVA working, the source transform filter had to be disabled, but it rox now.. only few % cpu use (obviously)..

[harpua]

I'll have to wait till I get my next machine before I can enjoy DXVA. Looking forward to it, probably next year.

it's not really a big deal, i mean, many effects can't be applied w/o transform filter.. that needs to be disabled for DXVA..

so if ur cpu runs everything well u should be happy.. :dance2:

tbh, i only switched to it.. after noticing two 1080p m2ts files wouldn't seek as fast.. lol

my 720p rips that i regularly acquire played just fine on cpu, but i just decided to leave it on, in case i wanted to do some cpu heavy stuff while watching movies.. generally i don't tho. :frusty:

420th Post! Let me offer everyone a rip off this bong.. :bong: :ganja:

Getting back on topic, I decided to try this KMPlayer and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. It's a direct show player like MPC-HC but the interface seems a bit slicker and the controls more intuitive. It's easier and clearer to control which codecs, filters, splitters, etc., get used for specific file types. It gets along with Shark's win7 codecs and CoreAVC Pro just as well as MPC does. So I've decided to use it as my default video player for a while and see if my initial favorable impression holds up. It's great to have two excellent free direct show players available.

[HATE9X]

yeah, altho i like it because it makes codec packs pretty much useless.. it plays h/x264, divx, xvid, mpeg, mpeg2, wmv, flv files.. and a lot more w/o codecs, i got bored of updating my codec pack once in a while..

& tbh, just a few mins ago i decided to get rid of that MPC-HC decoder too, 'cos I started missing my resize/postprocessing on 264 vids, so i thought screw DXVA..

and now that I checked, even the 1080p files that seeked slow play just fine on cpu power and i realized the magical change i made.. just changed the splitter.. :frusty:

anyhow, i recall coreavc didn't use any less cpu for me altho it should since it's multithreaded & i have a dualcore (hopefully soon triple/quad).. any comments on that?

anyway, yeah, kmplayer is great.. and after selling the source of the proggie, this korean dev started progging another player, PotPlayer.. unfortunately it's Korean only, I've found a few translations, but they were pretty poor..

it even includes DXVA, but supposedly that's 'cos it has lots of code stolen from MPC-HC.. like those countries give a shit about copyrights..

with that said. i like it. (KMP) hah, noticed i drifted off :rolleyes:

[harpua]

Actually, I've already gone back to MPC-HC because KMP wouldn't work well using the EVR renderer which is supposed to be better on Win 7 (and Vista) systems. It would freeze up rather frequently with the EVR renderer selected. I googled this problem and found that many users have complained about this problem for some time but nothing has been done to fix it. So I'm back to MPC-HC as my default player. MPC-HC has no problems at all with the EVR renderer selected.

As far as codec packs, I'm just relying on Shark007's packs to keep me up to date with the latest codecs, splitters, etc.

well, if u're not planning to use DXVA on KMP, I see no reason to use EVR.. Really, try VMR9 Renderless, it's simply lovely.. + it gets u HQ subs.. the only downside it might be that it's supposedly a bit more CPU hungry, but I haven't noticed.. might be a few %..

anyway, i think it's worth it, and of course u can experiment w/ the others.. overlay mixer should be fast.. anyway, i also noticed EVR doesn't cooperate with KMP perfectly w/ some videos (green frames &...)
