Let's go to the program settings window. Right-click on the main window and select the submenu Settings -\u003e Configuration ... As the picture shows:
Legulering brightness - blur - sharpness, etc.
We look at the screen below
Player settings menu
We will be presented with a settings window:
KMPlayer settings window
You need to do it as in the picture. Remembering the playback location is very convenient function... When you want to watch the film later. Just close the player and when you need to open it again and start the movie - it will continue from the last moment you watched. It is also worth remembering that it is better to disable this function for audio files.
Expand the General menu for advanced settings. Go to the submenu " Repeat / List
»Then on the right select the window« Playlist
". Uncheck the box "Clear standard list at closing ". So that your playlist does not reset when you close it (and you spent so much time creating it).
There is also an interesting sub-item “ Keys / Global
"And the window on the right" Global keyboard shortcuts
". Here you can configure global keyboard shortcuts for the most common operations when the player window is not active. For example, you are working in Word, typing text and suddenly want to switch to the next song, then in order not to make unnecessary movements, you can press a pre-selected keyboard shortcut. Click the "Add" button, a window with a choice of function will appear. Select "Play" then "Next". The entry will appear in the window. At the bottom, select a keyboard shortcut. To do this, left-click in the field next to which is written in red letters "Key" and press the key combination. For example, in my case it is Ctrl + Alt + PgDn.
Next, we are looking for the menu “ Decoders
"Right selection" Using built-in codecs
". The recommended value is "Use when system codecs fail." But you need to remember that in this case you need to download and install a set of decoders ( special programs allowing video decoding). Most best set K Lite Codec Pack. Take. Otherwise, use the "Always use" option. Why did I focus on this? Because with some video files there are problems when playing with built-in codecs. To avoid this, we use my advice.
It is also worth paying attention to the item “ Audio processing
". You can check the box next to “Built-in audio processor (Crossfader)” and next to “Use in audio mode only”. Also press the "Set" button next to it and in the appeared window set 2000 ms in both fields. What is it for? So that there is no silence when switching from one song to another. The first song will slowly fade out in volume, and the second, on the contrary, will increase. You will get beautiful continuous playback.
Also, on quiet video files, enabling the setting “ Automatic adjustment volume (normalization) "in the" Compressor / Normalizer "item. The program will itself increase the volume of the sound.
Menu « Video processing »I do not recommend touching it, because you can greatly lose in computer performance. There are a lot of settings and filters, and if you activate everything, the computer will start to slow down (even a powerful one).
Well, now we figured out the settings.
Some useful combinations keys (work with active window The KMPlayer, to make the window active, left-click on it):
- Left and Right Arrows - Rewind and Forward
- Up and Down Arrows - Volume Up and Down
- Enter - in video mode expand to full screen
- Alt + E - show / hide playlist
- Space - pause
- PgDn and PgUp - next and previous track / video in the playlist
- Ctrl + D - open DVD menu
At the request of the workers, I will describe another very useful function - display of items in the playlist. In KMPlayer, it can be configured in the most sophisticated way. Go to Settings - General - Repeat / List and select the tab Playlist :
Configuring KMPlayer Playlist Entries
You need to change the values \u200b\u200bin the Title field. By default it is empty (everything should display fine). By clicking on the Info button, you can view the list of macros to add to this field. Here are some examples:
$ filepart (% filename%) - file name will be displayed
% album% -% artist% -% title% - Album - Artist - Track title (you can put your own punctuation marks, the order is also important, the main thing is that the macros remain original)
$ if2 (% artist% -% title%, $ filepart (% filename%)) - if there are artist - track title values, then displays them, otherwise displays the file name
$ caps (your caption) - converts any value inside to a string with the first caps, the rest lowercase letters... Example SKRILLEX - FIRST OF THE YEAR - Skrillex - First Of The Year.Replace the words "your title" with the expression you want.
Also, sometimes there are problems with dVD playback when using the codecs installed in the system (my discs were played without sound). We open customization DVD - Decoder :
DVD settings
And check the boxes next to the Built-in decoder for watching DVD (as in the picture above).
An important function of the player is video buffering... This is necessary for watching movies over the network (and over wi-fi) and movies with a high bit rate, when other programs are accessing the hard disk. For the video to play smoothly, you need to increase the buffer. Go to Settings - Filters - Input filter ... Put a tick opposite Asynchronous file processing and one more Enable buffer for files on the hard drive. Buffer size to taste, the bigger the better):
Setting the video playback buffer.
