This a patched version: - Fixed MKV Source Filter.

Lots of new features will be added in the future to enhance media playback.

Let me know what you all think!:)

[betaking]

why still ues Delphi to compiled? use msvc is good!

[hmpt]

Having turned to POT，ahahah

[SoBizarre]

Now that PotPlayer became popular, there is suddenly new version of kmplayer? That's pathetic, if you ask me.

[CruNcher]

They just bought some very outdated codebase from a not so untalented guy (he advanced into potplayer which is the better more advanced codebase, just missing album art which might have been a exclusive sell out to kmp) and think can be successful with putting some cloud stuff inside it ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

why still ues Delphi to compiled? use msvc is good!

What silly comment is this?

Delphi is an IDE for creating GUI applications with Pascal (actually an object-oriented derivative of Pascal), while MSVC is a C/C++ compiler :rolleyes:

There are frameworks to create GUI applications with C++ too. Some are painful (MFC) others are more fun to use (Qt). Still Delphi is a great "all in one" package for developers.

Last but not least, and probably most important: If you already have a big project written in Delphi (Object Pascal), porting that to C++ is a huge amount of work!

Personally I did a lot of projects with Delphi and only recently made the switch to C++ with Qt. Mainly because my Delphi 7.0 feels a bit dated nowadays, e.g. lack of Unicode support.

Delphi is still under development, now by Embarcadero. Unfortunately the price is beyond what I am willing to pay for my "homebrew" projects. And Qt makes C++ worthwhile :)

(I know that there is Free Pascal and Lazarus, but the last time I tried to compile my Delphi projects with Lazarus, there were a whole lot of compatibility problems)

[patul]

Hah... Having moved to PotPlayer as well. Why now? A little too late, don't you think so?

[leeperry]

talk about being late to the party :D

[Blight]

LoRd_MuldeR:
I implemented unicode support in D7, it's very doable.

[KMPmediaLSM]

Potplayer has been out for awhile now, this new version of kmplayer isn't because of potplayer in my opinion, but I think it has been long awaited.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

LoRd_MuldeR:
I implemented unicode support in D7, it's very doable.

Well, the native 'String' type of D7 is a synonym for 'AnsiString', so everything that uses the String type does not support Unicode - at least not as UTF-16.

Sure, you can explicitly use the 'WideString' type in all your own code. But all* the "built-in" functions of D7 use the String type and thus will never support Unicode.

This means that you would have to replace all of D7's built-in functions - at least those that use a String parameter or return type - with your own Unicode-aware versions.

Moreover, and even more important, all the GUI components in D7/VCL do not support Unicode either. This means you would have to replace all the GUI code as well.

After all you would be writing your own Standatd Library as well as your own GUI Framework (more or less), which is a tremendous amount of work.

Why re-invent the wheel, when newer Delphi versions provide proper Unicode support "out of the box" and excellent GUI frameworks, such as Qt, are available for free?

__________________
(*) Well, there is some rudimentary support for WideString's and some basic string manipulation functions for WideString exist, but the vast majority of D7's built-in functions are AnsiString-only.

[Przemek_Sperling]

Thank you!


Contrary to almost everybody above I prefer KMP rather than Pot Player. Why? It reads all subtitle formats without any problems and works with flying colours with Enhancer v0.17, which I consider the best audio enhancer.

[pekos]

i tried few days ago
best player ive ever seen


it was two months ago but no change
no update
all codecs updated in world
world changed but kmp still same

[dansus]

Hi everybody,

Lots of new features will be added in the future to enhance media playback.

Let me know what you all think!:)

Looks good, dies hard on BBCHD with AAC LATM .ts playback.

[Dexter_prog]

It installs a service for streaming (even if you uncheck it when installing), watch out for that. I'm keeping my KMP 3.0 for now.

[Defcon]

I like KMP, but I don't care for all the social integration and services stuff. Installer forces install of 'Grid network' and forces opt-out for a bunch of other adware - not good :(

[KMPmediaLSM]

Actually, one can just extract from the .exe file and delete the unwanted files. Makes it a bit portable, and still have the latest updates, but not all of the new services.

[BrollyLSSJ]

Thank you for the information. I updated my old KMP to KMP+, but disabled the unused stuff via right click and switching to the old skin and disabling album art.

[wanezhiling]

About the subtitle, there is an agreement with Pandora TV when YoungHuee Kang moved to Daum, so some subtitle feature in KMP will never be implemented..

[CruNcher]

doesn't mean it cant be implemented from someone else he has no right on the subtitle system he also just borrowed it ;)

[KMPmediaLSM]

[SuLyMaN]

I've jumped shipped too...Too late. The Kmplayer boat sunk a long time ago and pot is the NEW KM!

[CruNcher]

SulyMaN that is very Fanboyish not really objective look @ things i'll rather give the new KMP a try and then make up your mind, though if your happy with what you get currently with Potplayer it's fine others maybe aren't happy because of their Specific Platforms and restrictions that apply also in Potplayer, which for example cant make use of the newest inbuild hardware features on Intel Platforms and nope i don't speak about Quicksync support but deeper level overall support in the Rendering Architecture. ;)

PS: I didn't yet looked @ the new KMP

[leeperry]

It took a lot of whining and testing to make PotP what it is today....if we/I were to do it for KMP+ all over again, would anyone fix the glitches?

The KMP support has been mostly inexistent since Pandora bought it...there have been promises on that matter recently, so I'm mostly asking if these were real :)

[wanezhiling]

Anyone noticed that the EVR CP in PotPlayer has the worst quality of the whole EVR family maybe? :sly:

[leeperry]

EVR is utterly obsolete compared to mVR anyway.

[SuLyMaN]

SulyMaN that is very Fanboyish not really objective look @ things i'll rather give the new KMP a try and then make up your mind, though if your happy with what you get currently with Potplayer it's fine ...

PS: I didn't yet looked @ the new KMP

Im not really a fanboy. I've been pushing KMP for ages to all my friends/relatives. The reason I am not switching is because potplayer is fulfilling my expectations. I DO have kmplayer installed to play audio though but for video, potplayer is what it is..

I dont know about you but I had weird freezeups on KMP on m2ts and some MKV files but none in pot.

I would have given KMP another go but read here (or on pandoras forum) that KMP is installing a service when installing and that has really put me off.

[KMPmediaLSM]

I believe in this 3.2 version the service (gridnetwork, pandora service) is now optional to install.

[Przemek_Sperling]

Yes, it is. One has to untick "grid network" in the setup of the program.

BTW, the newest KMPs (3.2s) have problems with hi-res H.264 playback. I had to switch from libcodec to ATI MPEG Video Decoder.

[mr.duck]

Wow great start...

I don't speak 'box' :P

Now what?


EDIT: nevermind, ran installer in sandbox, installed everything, extracted english.ini file

[SuLyMaN]

Ok thnks for informing me about the service...

sent from my mob. Excuse misspelling. thanks!

Hi BrollyLSSJ, thanks for that update and to the people who like to test it out, you have to first sign up at the kmplayer forum site. www.kmplayer.com/forums, then you will be able to access the link for the new beta.

** 3.3 UPDATE LIST **

- Supports Blu-Ray Play.

menus too :confused:

[BrollyLSSJ]

And another new beta 3.3.0.28.

[KMPmediaLSM]

Thanks again for that BrollyLSSJ, please test it out everybody and leave your comments here or at our forum www.kmplayer.com/forums or at www.facebook.com/kmpmedia.

[KMPmediaLSM]

I don't know if menus are supported yet, I don't have a blu ray player to test it out, but I think from our developer, the blu ray playback support means that among many tracks in a file, KMP will automatically detect and play the main blu-ray file within that file.

[BrollyLSSJ]

And another new beta.
