KPlayerAir is a video playback app. It can play video files (common MPEG-4 video in LOCAL mode or most videos in KServer mode) with subtitles (SMI/SRT).

• Requires iOS 9.3 or later.
- In KServer mode, it requires KServer 1.0.0 (macOS 10.11 or later, free), Wi-Fi is on and devices are located nearby. But older models require the devices to be on the same local network. It can see the list of KServer that are added automatically at 'List' > 'Venue'.
- In LOCAL mode, to add video/subtitle files or folders to the app, use the ‘File Sharing’ feature of ‘iTunes’; ‘iTunes’ > Select a Device > ‘Apps’ > ‘File Sharing’ > ’KPlayerAir’. And sub-folders of these added folders are ignored.

• Playable Types
- KServer mode: most videos (MP4/M4V/MOV/MKV/AVI/FLV/WMV/RMVB/M2TS/TP/TS/TRP, most video/audio codecs, YUV420P/YUV420P_10bit/YUV444P/YUV444P_10bit)
- LOCAL mode: common MPEG-4 video (MP4/M4V/MOV, H.264/AAC/ALAC, YUV420P)

• Subtitles
- It supports Ruby tag, Integrated, Text encoding.
- Subtitles (SMI/SRT) are displayed in real time even if it searches the playback position through the time slider, gestures or ‘Skip’.
- If the video (file_name) is opened, it searches the subtitles (file_name or file_name*) at the same folder; ‘file_name.smi’, ‘file_name*.smi’, ‘file_name.srt’, ‘file_name*.srt’.
- In KServer mode, if it opens the folder containing ‘BDMV’ and the above subtitle files are not found, the subtitles (folder_name or folder_name*) are additionally searched in the selected folder on the KServer.
- In LOCAL mode, Closed Caption style/behavior follows the operating system settings; ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > ‘Accessibility’ > ’Subtitles & Captioning’. And CC are always displayed at the bottom of the screen. Their timing can’t be adjusted. Also, even if there are two or more CC items, it can select only one of them.
