KM Player - World's Most Powerful Video Player
Highlights are
* 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, partially SMIL and multi-media links in podcast RSS or ATOM feeds and a dockable viewer for it. This allows you to easy navigate or bookmark certain streams.
* recording using mencoder, mplayer -dumpstream, Xine's mrl extension or ffmpeg
* resize/fullscreen support
* proxy settings from konqueror are used to set http_proxy environment variable for backend processes,
* configurable pattern matching for MPlayer and easy Xine configuration editor
The stand-alone player (libkdeinit_kmplayer.so) shares its core (libkmplayercommon.so) with the plugin's (libkmplayerpart.so) one, keeping both plugin and stand-alone player as lean (and secure) as possible. Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if the majority of KMPlayer users only use the plugin and use one of the other great movie players for KDE for other means.
The stand-alone application can additionally:
* play DVD (DVDNav only with the Xine player)
* play VCD
* let the backend players play from a pipe (read from stdin), using a seperate process (not piping to kmplayer itself)
* play from a TV device (experimental)
* show backend player's console output
* launch ffserver (only 0.4.8 works) when viewing from a v4l device
* DCOP KMediaPlayer interface support
* VDR viewer frontend (with *kxvplayer), configure VDR keys with standard KDE shortcut configure window
* Lots of configurable shortcuts. Highly recommended for the VDR keys (if you have VDR) and volume increase/decrease.
* Simple XML editor that make the XML under the current selected node editable and allows you to sync it back at that point in the tree
