Kmp player without ads and updates. How to disable annoying ads in KMPlayer

Yes, besides KPMpayer, there are many players, but there are times when this player copes with the playback. It has a bunch of settings and operates on its own codecs, which makes it independent from the system. For example, I had such a case when no player (windows MP, LA, classic MP and others) could play the Russian soundtrack in the film. And I needed it exactly. This is where KPMpayer helped me.

After that I started using this player, but the ads annoyed me:

This ad can be turned off. This is done simply: we need to change the "host" windows file, which is responsible for redirecting (redirects addresses like site.ru to IP). In this case, we need to redirect all KMP Internet addresses to the internal IP 127.0.0.1, so the program will not be able to access the Internet and advertising will not work. Also, any communication of the program with the Internet will not work.

Important: please note that KMP installs along with itself a program that lives well on the Internet (communicates via the Internet with users on the video network). The program is called "pandora" and it eats up traffic. I recommend that you go to the "Add / Remove Programs" panel and check if you have "pandora" installed, if you have, uninstall it, it does not affect the work of KMP.

Removing ads

Open the file "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts" in notepad and add these lines at the end

127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net 127.0.0.1 log.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.pandora.tv

If you can't save the host file

"Host" is a system file and Windows may not allow you to modify this file. To bypass this protection, you need to open notepad with administrator rights. For this:

1. Open notepad with administrator rights: go to the "C: \ Windows" folder, find the "notepad.exe" file there, press RMB (right mouse button) and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu.

2. Open the host file in notepad: File> Open> File path: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts> Button: Open.

3. Modify and save the file. The file will now be saved.

Another option is to change host

In the window that opens, select a user and check the box next to "Full access".

Ads are displayed in the main window of the KMPlayer media player. Therefore, many users of this program are beginning to look for an answer to the question of how to remove ads in KMPlayer.

KMPlayer is a popular and powerful program for watching videos or listening to music. At the same time, integrated advertising is displayed in the main window of the program.

If you use various free programs, then you probably noticed that advertisements are displayed in the windows of many such programs. This is the way app creators make money. I think that you should not scold them for this, since they develop programs that we use completely free of charge.

In this article I will tell you how you can remove ads in KMPlayer, in three different ways: using the Internet Explorer browser, using the hosts file, using the Adguard program.

V new version player, changing the cover does not remove ads from the KMPlayer window. After a new launch of the player, the advertisement will be displayed again in the main window of the program.

How to remove ads in KMPlayer using Internet Explorer

To remove ads from KMPlayer, you will need to enter the Internet Explorer browser settings. In the main browser window, click on the "Service" menu button. Next, in the "Browser Properties" window, go to the "Security" tab. In the "Dangerous sites" zone, click on the "Sites" button.

In the "Dangerous sites" window, add to this zone the addresses of sites that broadcast advertisements to the KMPlayer multimedia player:

Http://player.kmpmedia.net http://www.kmplayer.com/

After adding a record to the field, click on the "Add" button, and then on the "Close" button.

In the "Browser Properties" window, click on the "OK" button.

After launching KMPlayer, you will see that there will be no more ads in the player window.

How to remove ads in KMPlayer using the hosts file

When using this method, you will need to open the hosts file, which is located along this path:

C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc

You can open this file using the standard Notepad program. In order for the changes in the hosts file to be saved, first copy the hosts file to the desktop of your computer, and then open it with Notepad.

The following lines will need to be added to the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net 127.0.0.1 www.kmplayer.com

After restarting the player, the main window of KMPlayer will be ad-free.

How to remove ads in KMPlayer using Adguard

It will be possible to completely remove ads in KMPlayer using the Adguard program. With this program, you can remove ads not only in this particular player, but also in other applications that display ads in their windows.

In the window that opens, click on the "Select executable file ..." button.

After that, KMPlayer will be added to the list of applications that are subject to traffic filtering. After restarting the program, you will see that banner ads have been disabled in the multimedia player. Now, you can watch videos or listen to music in KMPlayer without being distracted by annoying ads.

Conclusions of the article

In the publication we have traced the process of appearance of the player on the computer in "pictures". There is also a problem: intrusive adware at startup KMP 3.7 and inhibiting its work, as evidenced by thousands of angry users on the Web, some of whom have switched to more "friendly" counterparts. What to do is not necessary, because simple solutions to this problem are known, two of them are under the cut.

Method one ... Just go back to the previous "ad-free" version of the program (assembly 3.6 can be downloaded in the blog catalog of rating software) by deleting the existing 3.7 ... At the end of the procedure, do not forget to turn off automatic updates KMP, via the "hot" key F2"→ in settings" Are common"on the tab" At startup ..."uncheck the box next to the item" Auto check for updates"(screenshot below).

Method two ... Does not require software uninstallation, but requires some care in actions.

First, check that the logo (emblem) of the existing built-in skin (skin) is the default one. To do this, right-click on the player window → select " Covers" → "Emblem" → "Standard cover logo".

Secondly, in order to remove the last "brakes" at startup, you should prohibit KMPlayer Internet access. This can be easily done by editing the system file hosts , which I wrote about in detail. With administrator rights in Notepad, open this file located in the folder C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc, and add the line

127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net

What should look like in the last screenshot. Then, save, close the file and restart your favorite media player - now, as before, it starts briskly and without any ads.

Important!

Since the first solution to the problem, with a "rollback" to one of the previous versions, is a dead end, I recommend that you immediately try the second option with editing the file hosts.

Good afternoon. A lot of users prefer from all video players, namely KMPlayer. It is actually a very handy and popular player. Basically, it gained popularity due to the fact that it supports a decent number of formats and codecs, thanks to which these films were encoded.

KMPlayer can play such well-known formats as mp4, avi, wmv, mkv, 3gp and others. In this regard, the player has the ability to play not only movies in modern HD and 4K resolution, but also various old videos, created handicraft, mostly in avi format.

I myself have been using this player for 15 years, if not more. The player is really good, and it's free. Which is already a big plus! But, the modern versions of this program a few years ago had a big drawback - a lot of advertising!

I understand that advertising is the engine of progress and so on. I myself use contextual advertising to make money. But, one thing is not intrusive contextual advertising, and completely different, when advertising flickers, distracts and so on.

Previously, by launching this player, it simply played the video you needed and there were no ads. Now, in new versions of the program, when you start the player, a window opens on the right, which the user does not need at all, but in which there are a lot of ads. Also, there are many advertisements in the main window.

It is very distracting and the desire to use this player disappears. This player has more advertisements than the well-known UTorrent program (you can also advertise in it).

I noticed that many users who consider themselves advanced are getting out of this situation. in a simple way- they are using old versions KMPlayer programs and disable updates. Of course, this method deserves attention, but not all systems reproduce old versions. It is better to enable updates, otherwise the player will not play every video. We will act differently, we will simply turn off ads in the player itself.
