SMPlayer Support Forum

I've been using for a long time 'Media Player Classic' with k-lite codecs full.
I recently installed SMPlayer. It's a great player, but a lot of files (avi, wmv) just won't play.
I've tried different settings, but nothing helped.

How do I set SMPlayer to use k-lite codecs?

Thank you.

Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.

Here is the log. I'm using an old computer. Win xp sp3.
If I set Video Output to DirectX(slow), The file does play but the quality is very poor.
