KMPlayer 0.11.0 RC4

kmplayer.pngKMPlayer is a video player plugin for Konqueror using MPlayer, Xine or GStreamer.Like MPlayer, the Xine and GStreamer backend are out-of-process players. So it will not crash konqueror when Xine or GStreamer crashes.

Also a simple tool for video playing and recording. Supports many playlist formats, including podcast RSS/Atom, plays all links directly from the internet. Other specialties are DVD, VCD and VDR support.

Here are some key features of “KMPlayer”:

· play movies from file/url using MPlayer, Xine (with *kxineplayer) or GStreamer (with *kgstplayer), making the plugin support as many as possible and, because all three are embedded external programs, keeping konqueror from crashing,
· keep movie sizes ratio
· volume slider using backend players’ volume control and a volume slider using kmix or sound mixer applet (kicker) in the pop-down menu,
· position slider
· Javascript support for controlling the plugin from web page’s javascript, and of course preventing script errors on pages calling these functions,
· ‘Click to Play’ support for QuickTime’s HREF attribute,
· lots of attributes supported, AUTOSTART, FULLSCREENMODE, CONSOLE, CONTROLS etc. Also, the CONSOLE/CONTROLS for RealPlayer plugin, allows KMPlayer to ’split-up’ over multible objects,
· bookmark menu in the popup menu, so you can easily bookmark a stream for later w/o having to visit the web site all the time,
· support for typical used playlist formats as ASX, RAM, m3u, pls and partially SMIL and a dockable viewer for it. This allows you to easy navigate or bookmark certain streams.
· recording using mencoder, mplayer -dumpstream or ffmpeg
