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.

Windows which can play a large number of formats such as VCD, DVD, AVI,
MKV, Ogg, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, FLV and QuickTime among

audio, video, and screenshots.

Covered Codec/FiltersThe
KMPlayer includes almost all the essential decoders required for media
playback as follows. Furthermore, to get beyond the limitation of
internal decoders, the external ones can be specified, so that KMP
works optimally by the users' own customization. Even though the KMP is
based upon DirectShow, it supports WinAmp, RealMedia and QuickTime by
the internal logic. Thus, it is possible to specify where to connect
the media in preferences.

ControversyThere has been research that The KMPlayer uses GPL code in the program.The developer maintains that it has been written in Borland Delphi from scratch, although in a later and contradictory response from another developer, they have deleted any visible GPL parts bundled with the product, or including the GPL license on the infringing part
