0001 KMPlayer, a simple frontend for MPlayer/FFMpeg/Phonon.
0002 It can play DVD/VCD movies, from file or url and from a video device. 
0003 If setup right, KMPlayer can embed inside konqueror. Which means if you click
0004 on a movie file, the movie is played inside konqueror.
0005 It can also embed inside khtml, enabling movie playback inside a html page.
0006 Movie recording using mencoder (part of the mplayer package). No video during recording, but you can always open a new window and play it there.
0007 Broadcasting, http streaming, by using ffserver/ffmpeg. For TV sources, you need v4lctl (part of the xawtv package).
0008 
0009 KMPlayer needs KDE Frameworks and a working mplayer/mencoder somewhere in you PATH.
0010 Additonally, for broadcasting, ffserver/ffmpeg/v4lctl also.
0011 For DVD navigation Xine is used. MPlayer has broken dvdnav support. DVDNav is included in libxine and works fine.
0012 Unless you reconfigure kmplayer, both mplayer and ffmpeg should be compiled with liblame for mp3.
0013 
0014 KMPlayer doesn't work with all the video drivers that mplayer supports. 
0015 I tested only xv (X Video Extension) and x11 (Image/Shm). If none work, you 
0016 might try the patch for the x11 driver and see if that works for you (not needed anymore for mplayer version >= 0.90-rc4).
0017 You might need to change mimetype settings (Control Center | KDE Components | File Associations) to make sure KMPlayer (or 'Embedded MPlayer for KDE' in embedded tab) is set for all the formats you want to play with KMPlayer.
0018 Also make sure in the 'Embedding' tab 'Show file in embedded viewer' is set.
0019 
0020 If you run an older version of MPlayer (0.9x), set 'Post MPlayer 0.90=false' in
0021 .kde/share/config/kmplayer.rc under group [MPlayer]. It will change some of the
0022 mencoder arguments (for recording).

0024 Enjoy!
