QuickPlayer was designed to create a playlist orientated music player in windows style. To avoid depencies, it uses FMod.dll as sound system (BASS and FModEx layers are also available) instead of the Windows Media Player engine. Furthermore, it uses several Windows API to enhance the standard Visual Basic controls instead of using external usercontrols (OCX files). And these are the results of four years of intensive development:

* Powerfull interface without skinning. Remembers position and size and allows “parallel windowing”.
* The autorefresh support allows you to easily keep your playlist up to date.
* Automation and security features, like timer events and kiosk mode
* Structured playlist with full drag’n'drop (both directions!); Simply drag files out to your favorite cd recording software
* Remarkable fading engine, providing full fading support and allows crossfading
* Music quality indication via color, additional information as tooltip. Also displays standard tags
* Search features to easily find a specific song
* Supports disabling of windows sounds, either when running or in Minidisk mode
* Customizeable keyboard for most basic features
* Plays all common music formats, like mp3, Ogg Vorbis, wav, wma, mod/s3m/xm/it, and more…
* Running on Windows 95 and older computers. Runs event without DirectX or Windows Media Player engine

The KMPlayer is a versatile media player which can cover various types of container format such as VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg Theora, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, and QuickTime among others. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways.

The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Internal filters are not registered to user’s system to keep it from being messed up with system filters.

The KMPlayer includes almost all the essential decoders required for media playback. Furthermore, to get beyond the limitation of internal decoders, the external ones such as commercial h.264 decoders or cyberlink/intervideo audio decoders can be specified, so that KMP works optimally by the users’ own customization. Even though the KMP is based upon directshow structure, it supports Winamp, Realmedia and Quicktime by the internal logic. Thus, it is possible to specify where to try to connect firstly the media in preferences.

In short, the player provides a strong hybrid structure efficient for interconnecting various directshow filters, winamp input&dsp plugin, and internal filters. The most outstanding feature is that the player has the full control of filter connections to prevent a media playback from being messed.

The player can set multifarious audio and video effects, slow down or increase playback speed with regular tone, select parts of a video as favorites, do an exceptionally powerful A-B repeat, remap the keys of remote interface for HTPC including overlay screen controls, change a skin dynamically depending on a media type playing, and many more. It is completely customizable thanks to a wide selection of skins and color schemes, and the configuration options are extremely extensive.
