Player KMPlayer Playback Settings Guide

KMPlayer

KMPlayer player The biggest advantage is that the degree of freedom is very high, how to set up, or even according to different streaming media format to set different separators, according to different encoding format to set different decoder, which is our HD playback most need a function. But its shortcoming is also obvious, that is relative PowerDVD, the KMPlayer setting is too complicated. The following small series on step-by-step introduction to how to set up KMPlayer, and explain the meaning of each step.

The first thing we need to do to get into the KMPlayer parameter options is to use the decoder and the separator settings unconditionally.

Then we want to cancel all the default built-in decoders and use our custom decoder. All options are not selected.

KMPlayer

When selecting an external video decoder, there was no other way to invoke it except for the default Libcodec.dll processing, so we clicked on "user-defined external decoder" to search for all decoders present on the system.

Click "User-defined external decoder" to search for all decoders present on the system

Since the ultimate decoding package was previously installed, the system contains multiple decoders/separators, and all registered decoders/separators can be identified by simply pressing the search and adding the device.

KMPlayer

Press "Search and add" to find all registered decoders/separators

We also want to define the use of separators, only the correct separation to decode, this step is more important, its search and management of external separator methods and decoders, here is not repeated.

Search and manage external separators

In addition, now more popular Haali separator, can be very good mpeg2-ts mpeg-ps and MKV, such as packaging separation, strongly recommended use. But the Haali separator is not found in the separator option, and KMPlayer has a special place to manage the Haali separator.

KMPlayer

However, the small series after research found that the management of Haali separator may not have effect, and directly in the installation of Haali separator directly selected is foolproof

KMPlayer

When installing the Haali separator, it is safer to select directly

How do you know that the Haali separator works? In addition to viewing in KMPlayer, the easiest way to do this is to have an icon appear in the lower right corner of any player after it has called the Haali separator, indicating that it is already being invoked correctly.

The above icon indicates that the Haali separator is called correctly

How to determine what kind of separator you are using in KMPlayer, and what kind of decoder is it? Following this operation, we see that the video decoder used is the PowerDVD 7.X H.264 decoder, and the audio decoder is InterVideo Audio Decoder, Because the Haali separator is not in the KMPlayer supported list, it is not displayed, as in the above method, we can see it in the lower right-hand corner of the desktop.

Now we'll start with how to set up a hard solution that can be turned on for each encoding in KMPlayer.

KMPlayer How to set H.264 hard solutions

H.264 decoding settings are relatively easy, the requirement is to install the PowerDVD 7.X H.264 decoder, in addition to the separator as far as possible not to use the built-in separator, and sometimes call the Nero separator or built-in separator, even if the decoder can be used normally, but not the hardware acceleration.

Then select an external video decoder, if the external decoder has not been transferred before, or if the external decoder has been searched is the system default, so we first search the external decoder.

Searching for external decoders

Searching for an external decoder this step will search all external decoders.

Then in the corresponding encoding format to select the corresponding decoder, H.264 direct use of PowerDVD H.264 decoder can directly open the hardware acceleration.
