KMPlayer For Mac

KMPlayer is yet another media playback solution that comes with a built-in codec and can handle numerous file formats. The player is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework and features a minimalist user interface.

To avoid repetitive actions, KMPlayer offers you the possibility to load more than one file to be played, and you can easily navigate between them by using the playback controller’s jump back or forward buttons. Note that you cannot see all the loaded files in list mode.

Since KMPlayer does not come with drag and drop support, you have to go through the Finder menu every time. This can be quite useful considering that only the supported file formats will be selectable (AVI, MP3, MP4, OGG, SPX, WAV, WMA, WMV, MKV, and MOV).

The KMPlayer user interface is represented by a single window where you can see the video content, view the file’s progress, start or pause the playback, or adjust the volume level. The controller will remain visible at all times, except when switching to full-screen mode.

However, KMPlayer also features an extensive collection of hotkeys that can be used to adjust the playback speed, the image brightness, contrast, or saturation, the audio level, or the subtitle synchronization.

Most of these functions are also included in the KMPlayer status bar menus, together with screen rotation options, subtitles management tools, and an interface language selector. Keep in mind that the project is still in an early stage so the tools list might expand in the future.

KMPlayer brings to the table most things one would expect from a media player: screen, playback, and playlist controllers, packed in a minimalist design that makes the most out of the available desktop space.

Since KMPlayer is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, the player might come with built-in support for file formats that cannot be handled by other players.
