Where Does KMPlayer Store Settings?
KMPlayer keeps preferences and render options in app config managed through Preferences, with captures saved per choice.
Last updated
KMPlayer settings live in app private config controlled from the Preferences panel, covering renderers, subtitle timing, audio sync, and file associations. There is no single INI worth hand editing. Change renderers there when black screens or sync drift appear.
Media never moves. Captures, bookmarks, and subtitle matches go where you point them during use. The 64X line and the ad supported classic line share this model. During setup, decline bundled offers so helpers do not alter associations.
Where KMPlayer stores this, by platform
App-managed config (Preferences panel)
Exact path may vary by version and Store versus desktop builds, check the Preferences export if this does not match. Keep capture folders and subtitle pairs backed up apart from settings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fix KMPlayer black screen with sound?
Open Preferences and switch the video renderer or toggle hardware acceleration, then retry an HEVC sample. Roll back to a previous installer from your own archive if the fault started with an update.
Where do KMPlayer captures and subtitles go?
Wherever you set them in capture and subtitle options. Match external subtitle basenames to the video or load SRT, ASS, SSA, SMI, SUB, or IDX by hand for reliable pairing.
