Configuration

Q:Where can I configure the options of the various components of the K-Lite Codec Pack?
A:

Most configuration screens can be accessed through:
Start -> Programs -> K-Lite Codec Pack -> Configuration

Media Player Classic: Press O (as in Options)


Q:How can I switch to a different audio track when playing MP4, MKV and OGM files?
A:

You should see a white icon in your system tray (right-bottom of your screen). That is Haali Media Splitter. Right-click on that icon to switch between the audio tracks that available within the file.


Q:How can I configure my preferred language(s) for audio tracks and subtitles in Haali Media Splitter?
A:

You should see a white icon in your systemtray (right-bottom of your screen). That is Haali Media Splitter. Double-click on that icon to view its options. You can also get to the options by clicking on the Haali Media Splitter shortcut in the start menu.

Once you are in the Options screen, click on 'Languages'. There you can set the preferred language(s) for audio and subtitles. The language should be input using a three character code, for example eng for English. A list of codes for each language can be found here. The language code should be input as lowercase, so 'eng' is correct and 'ENG' is incorrect.


Q:How can I select the desired audio stream in Media Center?
A:

There is no way to select a specific audio track during playback in Media Center (at least not without using third party plugins). It is only possible to pre-configure which one to use. By default the first one is used.

See above for instructions on how to configure the preferred language for audio streams in Haali Media Splitter.


Q:Is it possible to prevent ffdshow from being used by certain applications?
A:

Yes. That is possible.

If ffdshow is causing an incompatibility problem with an application or a game, then you should blacklist that application in ffdshow. First you need to find out the filename of the main executable of the application. For example "oblivion.exe". Now go to ffdshow video decoder configuration. Click on "DirectShow Control". Enable the box in front of "Don't use ffdshow in:". Then click on the Edit button behind it. Add the filename of your application to the list and then click on OK.

You can do the same thing in ffdshow audio decoder configuration.
