Dual core question

[mare911]

I noticed unbalanced CPU-core load during reproduction of some hi resolution videos

Is multi core supported atm? And if not, is there any plans for implementation in the future?

Thank you

It depends on a h264 decoder, not a player.
KMP simply uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project to decode h264 video.


Buy coreavc which supports dual or quad core decoding. :)

Heh, I am just realized my stupidness :)

With CoreAVC :)

P.S. Is there a way to use just CoreAVCDecoder.ax without registering on system (like other filters shipped with KMP), e.g. by copying in program folder or something for portable version?

Maybe not.

kk, thanks for your time mate :)

FYI, there is a way but I'm not sure it'll work without any problem. When you add coreavc to external decoder, add it through "Add External Codec" button. As coreavc is a commercial decoder, it probably requires some verificaiton process: I think it won't work when unregistered.

Its working. I unregistered CoreAVCDecoder.ax 1st, then copped it to kmp folder and set options by your advice and it worked without issues.

I still didn't tested it from usb flash. Ill try tomorrow and I am a bit worried about path handling (is they relative?), e.g. location of decoder can be F:\KMP\CoreAVCDecoder.ax while on other machine it will become G:\KMP\CoreAVCDecoder.ax

Ooops. After editing the path in KMPcfg.ini, it works with relative path.


[\Software\KMPlayer\KMP2.0\ExtFilterList\00014]
Disabled=int:0
ftype=int:1
dispname=str:
path=str:\KMP\CoreAVCDecoder.ax
name=str:CoreAVC Video Decoder
clsid=str:{09571A4B-F1FE-4C60-9760-DE6D310C7C31}

Good luck!

Thanks for your input mate:)

Now, with relative path, its working like a charm

I eventually managed to watch 1080p with portable KMP on slower machines thanks to your CoreAVC advice
