Kmplayer (Konqueror Media Player) is a video player for KDE.It is both a plugin for Konqueror, as well as a standalone video player.
It is capable of running MPlayer or xine as a backend.
MPlayer is a free media player distributed under the
GNU General Public License.
The program is available for all major operating systems, including GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Versions for OS/2, AmigaOS and MorphOS are also available.
The Windows versions works, with some minor problems, also in DOS using HX DOS Extender. A port for DOS using DJGPP is also available. MPlayer supports a wide variety of media formats.
In addition to its wide range of supported formats MPlayer can also save all streamed content to a file. A companion program, MEncoder, can take an input stream or file and transcode it into several different output formats, optionally applying various transforms along the way. MPlayer is a command line application which has different optional GUIs for each of its supported operating systems.
Commonly used GUIs are gmplayer (the default GUI for GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems, and Microsoft Windows), MPlayer OS X (for Mac OS X), MPUI (for Windows) and WinMPLauncher (also for Windows).
Several other GUI frontends are also available for each platform. Development of MPlayer began in 2000.
The original author,
Árpád Gereöffy, was soon joined by many other programmers.
The project was started because A'rpi was unable to find any satisfactory video players for GNU/Linux.
The first version was titled mpg12play v0.1 and was hacked together in a half hour using libmpeg3 from http://www.heroinewarrior.com/. After mpg12play v0.95pre5, the code was merged with an AVI player based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader to form MPlayer v0.3 in November 2000.
In the beginning most developers were from Hungary, but currently the developers are located worldwide. Alex Beregszászi has maintained MPlayer since 2003 when Árpád Gereöffy left MPlayer development to begin work on a second generation MPlayer.
The MPlayer G2 project is currently paused for a number of reasons. MPlayer was previously called "MPlayer - The Movie Player for GNU/Linux" by its developers but this was later shortened to "MPlayer - The Movie Player" after it became commonly used on multiple operating systems.
