Yes, besides KPMpayer there are many players, but there are cases when this particular player handles the playback. It has a bunch of settings and runs on its own codecs, which makes it system independent. For example, I had a case where not a single player (windows MP, LA, classic MP and others) could play the Russian soundtrack in a film. And she was the one I needed. This is where KPMpayer helped me.
After that, I started using this player, but I was annoyed by the advertising:
This advertising can be disabled. This is done simply: we need to change the Windows “host” file, which is responsible for redirection (redirects addresses like site.ru to IP). In this case, we need to redirect all KMP Internet addresses to internal IP 127.0.0.1, so the program will not be able to access the Internet and advertising will not work. Also, any communication of the program with the Internet will not work.
Important: please note that KMP installs with itself a program that lives quite well on the Internet (communicates via the Internet with users on the video network). The program is called “pandora” and it eats up traffic. I recommend going to the “Add or Remove Programs” panel and check if you have “Pandora” installed; if so, remove it, it does not affect the operation of KMP.
Removing advertisements
Open the file “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” in Notepad and add the following lines at the end
127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net 127.0.0.1 log.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.pandora.tv
If you can't save the host file
"host" is a system file and Windows may not allow you to change this file. To bypass this protection you need to open Notepad with administrator rights. To do this:
1. Open notepad with administrator rights: go to the “C:\Windows” folder, find the “notepad.exe” file there, right-click (right mouse button) and select “Run as Administrator” from the menu.
2. Open the host file in Notepad: File > Open > File path: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts > Button: Open.
3. Edit and save the file. The file will now be saved.
Another option is to change host
In the window that opens, select a user and check the box next to “Full access”.
Good afternoon. A lot of users prefer KMPlayer among all video players. This is actually a very convenient and popular player. Basically, it has gained popularity due to the fact that it supports a decent number of formats and codecs, thanks to which these films were encoded.
KMPlayer can play well-known formats such as mp4, avi, wmv, mkv, 3gp and others. In this regard, the player has the ability to play not only films in modern HD and 4K resolution, but also various old videos created homemade, mostly in avi format.
I myself have been using this player for 15 years, if not more. The player is really good, and free. Which is already a big plus! But modern versions of this program a few years ago had a big drawback - a lot of advertising!
I understand that advertising is the engine of progress and so on. I myself use contextual advertising to earn money. But it’s one thing when contextual advertising is not intrusive, and it’s completely different when the advertising flickers, distracts, and so on.
Previously, when you launched this player, it simply played the video you wanted and there were no ads. Now, in new versions of the program, when you launch the player, a window opens on the right, which the user does not need at all, but in which there is a lot of advertising. Also, there are a lot of advertisements in the main window.
This is very distracting and makes you lose the desire to use this player. This player has more advertising than the well-known UTorrent program (it also allows advertising).
I noticed that many users who consider themselves advanced get out of this situation in a simple way - they use old versions of the KMPlayer program and disable updates. Of course, this method deserves attention, but not all systems reproduce old versions. It is better to enable updates, otherwise the player will not play every video. We will do things differently, we will simply disable advertising in the player itself.
KMPlayer how to disable advertising
First of all, you need to download KMPlayer for free in Russian http://www.kmplayer.com/. We will do this from the official website. Having entered the site, if your site text is in English, select “Russian” at the top right.
In the publication, we traced in “pictures” the process of the player’s appearance on the computer. There is also a problem: intrusive advertising that appears upon startup KMP 3.7 and slowing down its work, as evidenced on the Internet by thousands of angry users, some of whom switched to more “friendly” analogues. What to do is not necessary, because simple solutions to this problem are known, two of them are under the cut.
Method one . Just go back to the previous "ad-free" version of the program (build 3.6 can be downloaded from the blog Catalog of rating software), by deleting the existing 3.7 . At the end of the procedure, do not forget to disable automatic updates KMP, via the hotkey " F2"→ in settings" General"on tab" On startup..."Uncheck the box next to the item" Auto-check for updates" (screenshot below).
Method two . Does not require uninstalling the software, but requires some caution in actions.
First, check that the logo (emblem) of the existing built-in theme (cover) is standard. To do this, right-click on the player window → in the drop-down menu select " Covers" → "Emblem" → "Standard cover logo".
Secondly, in order to remove the last “brakes” at startup, you should prohibit KMPlayer access to the Internet. This can be easily done by editing the system file hosts , about which I wrote in detail. With administrator rights in Notepad, open this file located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, and add the line
127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net
What should happen is in the last screenshot. Then, after saving, close the file and restart your favorite media player - now it, as before, starts up quickly and without any advertising.
Important!
Since the first solution to the problem, with “rolling back” to one of the previous versions, is a dead end, I recommend immediately trying the second option with editing the file hosts.
