The Kmplayer V3 6 0 87 Portable
there's a new programmer (or a new team maybe) which has taken over the kmplayer development. did not test the latest version for portability though, but from what i've seen,there was a warning in the previous version if you tried to run kmplayer portably, which is gone in the new build, so there is hope in the horizon :)
i think this program seems to bee a greatr idea to explore in portable app.Like a Media center to see tv in tv card , needs a good record capture(has discincronized andio \video), make tv pause(make pause but no cached) and return ,and see all video formats.(needs real codecs to see video rmvb) for more just like a media center.
I tried all the spyware Media Player (3) stuff and VLC (2)portable versions 2 or 3 years ago. I than stumbled on this and posted it on what is now Gizmo's site and was ignored. It was allowing me to playback MP4 and FLV files years ago! The catch is, I could SCROLL and click on my last viewed spot. It would not crash hardly ever and was playing DVD's as well. Nice program. How is a nation full of drop out supposed to develop something like this when all they have on is their "freak" ???Good stuff and thank you.
The download link is to an old portable version. Go to the real download page =14938, then use the usual instructions to extract the files using Universal Extractor or similar, copy to a directory where you want it to be, delete the directories $PLUGINSDIR and WizardLanguage.You probably need to use the instructions above to create a KMPcfg.ini, I run most things through JauntPE to guarantee portability and no registry entries so I didn't bother with the KMPcfg.ini
It recreates the folder 'The KMPlayer' in my documents if you delete it. registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KMPlayerunless there's setting to disable this, a portable launcher would have to be made for it to be even close to stealth.
the only problem I had was that play lists had the drive letter in them so when I used the drive on different machines my portable music collection was fine but no playlists... I fixed this with an AutoIT3 app that runs KMPlayer and when it exits converts any playlist that points to the portable drive to use a relative path: script to follow
My brother sent me a 3GP video recorded in his cellphone, which I was unable to play in any media player without a extensive codec installing.I tested with KMPlayer. Worked perfect!The best portable video player.
If you've read these comments, it was misleading to call this player open source. It is such a beautiful player (its default skin anyway) and has some features i wish Winamp had. But, weighing it against Winamp... I'd stick with Winamp (one big complaint[of many]- navigating through the damn menus in kmplayer). As for being portable- when changing the options to write to an ini file (to make it portable) they say its a "bit slow"; this is so true for the common computer. Again, Winamp (5.1) seemed to perform better as a portable. Whats good about both is the ability to keep track of the music in the library when changing drive letters (kmplayer uses a winamp library, so no wonder it can too). Next time i switch, i hope it'll be a good open source program with a nice library...
Would be nice if someone create a really portable package that dont write on registry.I runned the program before read this post and shit was added to the registry :(Anyone know exactly what registry entries I have to delete
I saw your comment about reg changes Rick. I also saw where A had said to make a .ini file before running. Rick is correctbut here's what I did. I just went to regedit and deleted the reg changes kmplayer had made. I ran kmplayer again and no reg entries were made. Also I have also run kmplayer on my computer at work and no reg entries were detected.
Regardless of which program works better, this one is NOT portable. It creates a massive number of registry entries as soon as it starts, -before- you can set it to use an ini file, and these entries are not deleted when the preference is changed. A few entries are made in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT even if the ini file is present when the program is started.That said, it seems like a decent enough program, but I haven't tested it with my ATI TV card yet. If it doesn't work with that, then I'll stick with K-Lite and Media Player Classic.
Thanks for the response PT...Didnt explain myself properly:Sections from albums downloaded from E-Music show up as .m3uand WinAmp;XM play; will immediately play these....KM waitsuntil you click on the downloaded file, then plays it butthe timer continues to run past the usual 30 secs and theplayer freezes, requiring task manager to shut it down....OH! and your correct about the portable version not playingDVD. 2ff7e9595c
