Actions

Settings - Player - Videos - Action.jpg
Play next video automatically
Settings level: Basic
When selected this enables automatic playback of the next file in the list.


Skip steps
Settings level: Standard
See also: Skip steps
Defines the amount of time each press of the Skip button will skip forward or backwards. A (-) will define backwards and no (-) will define forward. You can set multiple times so each press will skip more time in the video. So if, for example you use 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec when press the Skip button once it will skip 10 seconds foward, double pressing the Skip button will skip 30 seconds and triple pressing the Skip button will skip 60 seconds.


Skip delay
Settings level: Standard
Defines how much time it takes before the skip step occurs. The range is none (which will cause the skip step to happen immediately) & 250 - 3000ms (milliseconds).


Playback

Settings - Player - Videos - Playback.jpg
Adjust display refresh rate
Settings level: Standard
Defines when the refresh rate adjustments should take place. Activate to automatically set the refresh rate which is best matched with the video that is playing (default off). This potentially allows for perfectly smooth video reproduction, as video material can be recorded in a variety of frame rates (23.976fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97fps, 30 fps, etc.) which need to be properly matched by the refresh rate of the display, in order to be displayed smoothly.


Sync playback to display
Settings level: Standard
This setting enables syncing the video to the refresh rate of the monitor.


Minimise black bars
Settings level: Advanced
Allow video player to try to fit video to screen by ignoring aspect ratio by a certain amount.


Display 4
3 videos as
Settings level: Advanced
Determines the zoom level that 4:3 videos are shown on widescreen displays.


Processing

Settings - Player - Videos - Processing.jpg
Render method
Settings level: Advanced
Controls the method used by the player to process and display the video, (which is called rendering).


Enable HQ scalers for scaling above
Settings level: Advanced
Use high quality scalers when upscaling a video by at least this percentage. A value below 5% makes little sense as video is processed with high GPU load without any visible picture quality improvements
Windows specific settings
Allow hardware acceleration DXVA2
Settings level: Expert
Enable VDPAU hardware decoding of video files.
Linux specific settings
Allow hardware acceleration - VDPAU
Settings level: Advanced
Enable VDPAU hardware decoding of video files, mainly used for NVIDIA graphics and in some circumstances AMD graphics.
Prefer VDPAU video mixer
Settings level: Advanced
Bypassing VDPAU mixer saves resources on low power systems but slightly reduces picture quality.
Allow hardware acceleration - VAAPI
Settings level: Advanced
Enable VAAPI hardware decoding of video files, mainly used for Intel graphics and in some circumstances AMD graphics.
Use MPEG-2 VAAPI
Settings level: Expert
Enable this option to use hardware acceleration for MPEG-(1/2) codecs. If disabled the CPU will be used instead. Some MPEG-2 videos might have green artifacts.
Use MPEG-4 VAAPI
Settings level: Expert
Enable this option to use hardware acceleration for MPEG-4 codec. If disabled the CPU will be used instead.
Use VC-1 VAAPI
Settings level: Expert
Enable this option to use hardware acceleration for VC-1 based codecs. If disabled the CPU will be used instead. Especially VC-1 interlaced fails hard on Intel hardware.
Prefer VAAPI render method
Settings level: Expert
When enabled, VAAPI render method is preferred and the CPU has less load. If you experience hangs, disable this option.
Mac OS specific settings
Allow hardware acceleration - VTBDecoder
Settings level: Expert
Enable VTB hardware decoding of video files.


Stereoscopic 3D

File:Settings - Player - Videos - Stereoscopic 3D.jpg
See also: 3D
Setting Description Level
Playback mode of stereoscopic videos Select in which mode stereoscopic 3D videos will be played. [Ask me] Will show a dialogue to select the desired mode for each playback. [Preferred mode] Will use the preferred mode specified in the "system->Video hardware" section of the settings. [Monoscopic/2D] will play the video in mono/2D. [Ignore] Disables any stereoscopic 3D processing and handling Advanced
Disable stereoscopic mode when playback is stopped While enabled, GUI and some TVs will switch back to 2D mode, beween videos in a playlist or when playback ended. While disabled, GUI and TV will stay in stereoscopic 3D mode. For video playlists with mixed stereoscopic 3D and 2D content, then the GUI will also stay in stereoscopic 3D mode even when a non-stereoscopic 2D video is playing. Advanced

Teletext

Setting Description Level
Activate Teletext Enables Teletext when watching a live TV stream. Expert
Scale Teletext to 4:3 When selected scales Teletext to 4:3 ratio. Expert
