Talk:The KMPlayer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabest has been given proof by others, he also posted that he analysed memory dumps and CONFIRMED this information, the authors of the program even sent me a pm admiting that they are using this very code! yet THEY have never proven they are NOT using the code. Thers proof on Gabests side and none on the KMplayers side im afraid, http://digg.com/software/kmplayer_programmers_steal_code_from_open_source its not exactly a secret that kmplayer uses stolen code and never has been. 85.178.249.233 19:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'll add this informating without POV. Michaelas10 (Talk) 19:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Sounds like a fair comprimise to me ;) also my bad but I forgot to use the sig thing in my discussion post. I dont believe either party involved in this GPU thing has come up with conclusive evidence to push their case, but I strongly believe after using both programs that KMplayer uses code from MPC, its clear as day to see, but obviously I would have to reverse the whole program to prove that, while its possible for me to do so it would also be illegal in my country, thus I can only go off the information provided, and the kmplayer team have simply just said "no we didnt" while Gabest has been notified by people of this, has run memory dumps of it and more importantly, you just have to load it. So having it stated as a "rumour" is pretty fair, it gives explains to the readers the history of the program and some of the problems it has faced, without this info I feel there would be something missing about the programs entry in wiki. however KMplayer have never disproven this so I will remove that line as its no more proof than what Gabest has said.85.178.249.233 19:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but a forum post nor a digg entry are verifiable sources, please refer to Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information. Do you have a proper news entry of sort? Michaelas10 (Talk) 19:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
ok well obviously if a dig or post from the author of the program isnt valid then removing the "this has been proven false" part no longer applies as it being proven false never actually took place, and its no different than Gabest saying this. I think this is quite fair. 85.178.249.233 20:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd just like to point out that one thing is missing from this article, but before adding it I would like a few other people to try this because its OBVIOUSLY going to be removed if I just add it. When you sign up for the km players forums, the agreement says nothing about your email being given out to third parties, however I joined up to the forums with a nearly new email account, two days later I had recieved around 20 emails in an asian language, of course I couldnt unsubscribe because I cant read what it says, theres also nowhere on the km player site which allows you to unsubscribe so I ran a little test, I setup a mail server on my system and joined their forums once more (bear in mind that it would be impossible for this email to be obtained from ANYWHERE else), within 6 hours of doing so I was recieving more asian emails. This is 100% proof and verification that they are selling emails illegally and anyone can test this for themselves. I will be adding this shady practise to the article within the next couple of days providing nobody can provide any proof that this is false, however I can reprodouce it every single time without fail so I dont see how that would be possible. 85.178.223.238 13:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] i do not use this program because of above mentioned reasons
I do like the MPC very much and I use it in addition to the vlc. Although the KMPlayer seems to have some cool features more than the MPC, I will NEVER use it, because of the barefaced behaviour of its programmers. Yeah, yeah, there is no proof, but I cannot imagine, gabest would mention his disaffection if he would not be positive about his findings. The code is open source, it is free, and you can still find people on this f*cking planet, who do not give a crap. Unbelievable! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.56.134.118 (talk) 09:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] System Requirements for The KMPlayer in Windows
Although their website dosnt bother to tell you, it seems from this page http://software.techrepublic.com.com/download.aspx?docid=290172 that it needs at least XP, and therefore won't run on my system 8-( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.119.113 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 28 June 2007
- It works on Windows 2000 without a problem. It's probably Windows 9x that isn't supported. GregorB 17:28, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
