KMP is completely customizable thanks to a wide selection of skins and color schemes, and the configuration options are extensive.

The player can set many audio and video effects, slow down or increase playback speed, select parts of a video as favorites, do various A-B repeats, remap the keys of remote interface for HTPC including overlay screen controls, and change a skin dynamically depending on a media type playing. Internal filters are not registered into the system's registry to prevent the operating system from confusing system filters with K-Multimedia Player's filters. It 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. The player handles a wide range of subtitles and allows one to capture audio, video, and screenshots. It has a significant user base and has received strong ratings and reviews on major independent download sites. KMPlayer is the abbreviation of K-Multimedia Player, it is a media player software for Microsoft Windows which can play a large number of formats including VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, FLV and QuickTime.
