⚙️ Preferences & Troubleshooting

Customize your player according to your hardware environment and resolve common playback issues.

🎛️ Settings Navigation

• General: Multi-language switching (Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean), instance limits, and AppData directory shortcut.
• Playback: Default open behavior (Replace / Append), auto-play next item, and history memory.
• Hotkeys: View and customize keyboard shortcut bindings.
• File Associations: Register system-level default video extensions with the Play with Kyna Player context menu.

🛠️ Common Troubleshooting

1. 4K/8K Playback Stuttering or Frame Drops

• GPU Scheduling: On laptops with dual GPUs, assign Kyna Player to “High Performance Dedicated GPU” in Windows Settings.
• Hardware Acceleration: Verify that Direct3D 11 acceleration is enabled.
• Filter Load: If Anime4K is active, reduce the scaling preset based on GPU capacity.

2. Subtitle Character Encoding Errors

• Ensure subtitle files are saved in UTF-8 format. Re-save files as UTF-8 in a text editor if needed.
