The only video player you need.
Various playback options and settings can be altered from this tab.
- Task Priority
Allows you to control the priority that Windows assigns to completing GOM Media Player processes. Selecting a higher priority may reduce choppy playback, but it will also cause GOM to use greater amounts of your system resources and may slow down other processes your computer is running.
- Support multimedia function keyboard
This option allows you to use special multimedia control buttons on your keyboard (like play, pause, stop, volume, etc) with GOM Media Player.
- Volume control by multimedia function keyboard
Allows the volume control keys on multimedia keyboards to control the GOM Media Player volume settings.
- Disable screensaver during playback
Your computer will not go into screensaver mode while a file is playing via GOM Media Player.
- Close media files when stopped
Hitting the stop button will unload the video from GOM Media Player (but it will remain on the playlist) and the filename will no longer appear on the GOM Media Player title bar. When this box isn’t checked, hitting the stop button stops playback and goes back to the beginning of the video file, but does not unload it from GOM Media Player (meaning you can still click the seek bar and start the file again from a specific point).
- Open file using task threads (removes blocking effect)
If GOM Player is freezing when you try to open a file or quit the program, selecting this option may correct the issue.
- Repeat Playlist
Check the box to turn on the Playlist Repeat function.
- Shuffle Playlist
Check the box to turn on the Playlist Shuffle function
- Always launch GOM Player in full-screen
If you select this option, GOM Media Player will automatically enter full-screen mode each time it starts.
- Default playback window size:
Allows you to choose a default window size for file playback. Choose from “Window size x1.0 (100%), “Window size x2.0 (200%)”, “Fit to Desktop Resolution”, “Maximize Screen Size”, “Fit to Full Screen”, “Full Stretch Screen”, and “Full Stretch Screen (Keep Ratio)”.
The DVD tab lets you change various settings for using GOM Media Player to play DVDs.
- DVD Starting Point
Choose for DVDs to always play from the beginning, always play from the point where you stopped watching last, or ask what to do each time a DVD is opened.
- DVD Menu:
Choose the default language for the DVD Menu (if supported).
- Audio:
Choose the default language for the DVD’s audio track (if supported).
- Subtitles:
Choose the default language for the DVD’s subtitle track (if supported).
