Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You need to have MPlayer version 1.0rc1 or later.
|
|
X11 is required. X.org is the best choice here.
|
|
XVideo extension is recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Playing video DVDs and CDs, audio CDs, data CDs and DVDs, TV, and DVB
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
KPlayer 0.6 and later has much improved support for disk and tuner devices.
|
|
It will detect any CD, DVD, TV and DVB devices present on your system and
|
|
list them as submenus on the File menu. For disk devices it will also detect
|
|
when a disk is inserted or removed and update the submenu accordingly.
|
|
|
|
When a disk is in the drive, the submenu will list options to play the
|
|
entire disk or each individual track or title. There is also a Load Disk
|
|
command that you will only need if the disk is already in the drive when
|
|
KPlayer starts up or if your system does not tell KPlayer when a disk is
|
|
inserted or removed.
|
|
|
|
Submenus for TV and DVB devices list options for playing each channel.
|
|
The list of channels can be chosen in the device properties. Go to the
|
|
Multimedia Library, expand the Devices subtree, right click a device and
|
|
choose Properties. The Channel List option is on the General page. There
|
|
are many more options for both disk and tuner devices.
|
|
|

|
|
Multimedia Library
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
KPlayer 0.6 and later has a multimedia library that you can use to organize
|
|
your multimedia files and streams.
|
|
|
|
The Now Playing tree lists the files, URLs and folders on your current
|
|
playlist. This playlist is temporary and will be wiped out the next time
|
|
you play anything else.
|
|
|
|
Permanent playlists live on the Playlists tree. Copy your current playlist
|
|
from Now Playing here if you want to keep it. Items on playlists can be
|
|
arranged in any order you like by dragging them around or using Move Down
|
|
and Move Up commands.
|
|
|
|
Collection tree can contain folders with items sorted by any available
|
|
field. By default only the most useful fields are displayed in both
|
|
the playlists and the collection, but other fields can be shown using the
|
|
Columns submenu on the Library menu. Some fields can be changed, those are
|
|
listed on the Edit submenu of the Library menu.
|
|
|
|
Devices tree lists the disk and tuner devices KPlayer found on your system,
|
|
and under those you will find the available tracks, titles or channels.
|
|
Devices, disks, tracks, titles and channels all have their own properties
|
|
that you can access using the Properties option on the Library menu or on
|
|
the right click context menu.
|
|
|
|
Root Directory and Home Directory list multimedia files found in those
|
|
directories and their subdirectories. Find the directories that contain
|
|
your multimedia files and put them into your collection. Then create and
|
|
organize your playlists from the collection. Both the collection and the
|
|
playlists can have as many levels as you need.
|
|
|
|
Remote files and streams can be put on the collection and playlists by
|
|
using the Add URL command on the Library menu or the right click context
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multitrack files and streams
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some media files and streams have more than one video, audio or subtitle
|
|
tracks in them. Those will be listed on the Video, Audio and Subtitles
|
|
submenus of the Player menu. Audio and subtitle tracks will be labelled
|
|
with their language if it is known. You can also choose the tracks in the
|
|
File Properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
KPlayer's initial settings have been tuned to the optimal values so that
|
|
the program should be fully usable out of the box. In fact, version 0.2
|
|
did not have a configuration dialog and was quite useful nevertheless.
|
|
|
|
For advanced users the configuration dialog offers a lot of different
|
|
settings affecting both the KPlayer user interface and MPlayer options.
|
|
If you mess KPlayer up by playing with them, the Defaults button is there
|
|
to help you out.
|
|
|
|
However, if KPlayer does not work for you in the first place, please first
|
|
test MPlayer itself from the command line to see if it needs any command
|
|
line options to work on your system. Then you can set those options in the
|
|
KPlayer configuration dialog.
|
|
|
|
Before you put anything into the Additional Command Line Arguments box,
|
|
please first look around the dialog to make sure the option you need is not
|
|
yet supported directly. For example, the only time you'll ever need to put
|
|
-ao, -ac, -vo or -vc in there is when you want to list more than one output
|
|
or codec separated by a comma. In that case please first set the respective
|
|
option on the Audio or Video page to 'auto'.
|
|
|
|
Warning about -vo sdl and -vo svga: if you set these anywhere other than the
|
|
Video page in the KPlayer config dialog, you will likely have to either wait
|
|
for your file to finish playing or kill your X session. If you really have
|
|
to, you can edit or remove the input.conf file in share/apps/kplayer, but
|
|
that is not recommended, nor are -vo sdl and -vo svga for that matter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
File properties
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Starting from KPlayer 0.5 each file and URL has its own set of properties.
|
|
They include information that KPlayer found out about the file, like time
|
|
length, video size, frame rate, bitrates, and so on, as well as various
|
|
options you can set, like name, video aspect, subtitles, and many more.
|
|
|
|
Most properties can be set through the File Properties dialog. The
|
|
Properties dialog for the currently loaded file or URL can be opened from
|
|
the File menu, or using a button on the main toolbar, or from the right
|
|
click popup menu. You can also open Properties dialog for any entry in
|
|
the multimedia library by right clicking on it, or by using the Properties
|
|
command on the Library menu.
|
|
|
|
An easier way to set file properties is by holding the Shift key when
|
|
changing a setting. For example, if you hold Shift and select Soft Frame
|
|
Drop from the Player menu, KPlayer will remember that setting for the
|
|
current URL, and use it the next time you play it. After it is done playing
|
|
the current URL, it will revert the Frame Drop setting to the default, the
|
|
one that was in effect before you changed it with Shift. On the other hand,
|
|
if you change Frame Drop without holding Shift, the new setting will become
|
|
the default, and will be used for all URLs that do not have it set
|
|
explicitly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full screen mode
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To return from the full screen mode to the normal mode just hit Ctrl+F or
|
|
right click anywhere in the video area and choose Full Screen from the menu.
|
|
Double clicking the video area also switches between full screen and normal
|
|
mode. You can also hit the Esc key, which will stop playback and end the
|
|
full screen mode.
