Are you looking for a multimedia player for your computer because the one that comes by default in Windows doesn't convince you? You have to know then that luckily there are many attractive alternatives, such as KMPlayer. In fact, we are talking about a platform that has the compatibility and the necessary functions to become the only or main multimedia player on your PC.

The first thing that catches your attention when using KMPlayer is that it is a service that has support for virtually all formats both audio and video of today, something essential right now. If you are tired of reading those messages that warn of compatibility errors when you want to watch a video or listen to a song, you have to know that here is an ally that puts an end to it.

Operation

In fact, KMPlayer has support for Ultra HD videos with 4k resolutions or 3D movies, formats to which other players so far have not adapted. Not only that, but you have the possibility to set special configurations to get the most out of them. If you work with videos in these formats, or simply want to watch movies in the best possible quality, this is not a minor detail.

The ability to play content from different playback sources is undoubtedly another of the clear advantages that KMPlayer has over the competition, since you can not only open the content stored on your PC, but you also have the ability to play files from external physical disks, to add addresses for online streaming, or connect to a digital television system.

But, to tell the truth, the main reason why we could recommend KMPlayer to any user has to do with the versatility of this platform, perfect to control it exactly the way we think is more convenient. For example, it has a tool that allows you to capture video of what is happening on screen in real time, with many editing options available afterwards.

The synchronization of subtitles is another of the functions that we can enjoy from the same panel of KMPlayer, so if you have any movie or series to which you want to add subtitles, you can do it without any problems thanks to this utility. As you can see, we are not in the presence of a music or video player that intends to stay in its basic use, but it really is a Swiss army knife for the treatment of this type of files.

Possibly when you go to look for a new player for your computer you should look first of all that you do not have to be installing a huge amount of codecs, something that is clearly unbearable. For this reason we believe that KMPlayer belongs to a select group of perfect players for beginners or users who do not want complications.

Before we finish, and we know that for some users it will be important, we have to say that KMPlayer has integrated advertising, although the truth is that it is not too annoying, and in any case we can get rid of it. All you have to do is hide the window, so you don't have to be paying for other ad-free services.

We then move on to KMPlayer's user interface, about which we have to say that we generally liked the large number of functions it offers, although not all of them are extremely useful. Anyway, it is attractive that the program can be minimized occupying only part of the screen, to be able to control its playback while we also attend to other applications.

The best

The most salient strengths that we have found in this first approach to KMPlayer have to do then with its compatibility with almost all current video and audio formats, in addition to it is a very complete tool, customizable from almost all points of view.

The worst

The worst thing about KMPlayer? Nothing serious, but at times while using the application we had the feeling that it is somewhat complicated to find certain functions, not only because there are too many that appear on the screen, but also because its developers have decided to use a too minimalist font, when in fact we would have preferred something easier to visualize.

Rating

As a summary, we can say that KMPlayer is undoubtedly one of the best video and audio players today, one thanks to which you will be able not only to play, but to perform almost any other action with your multimedia files. With almost no negative elements, we are talking about a platform that will replace any other one you have before, especially if it is the original Windows player.
