+    Internally for the sources, KMPlayer uses distinct names. At the time of
+    this writing these are "dvdnavsource", "dvdsource", "exitsource",

+    "urlsource", "vcdsource" and "vdrsource". When activated, they mostly

+    You can activate a particular source with a <filename>kmplayer://</filename> type <acronym>URL</acronym>. Just set the host part as the source name and optional path part as extra arguments, so for a channel for the "vdrsource" this could look like <filename>kmplayer://vdrsource/22 MTV 2</filename>. Eg. this script starts kmplayer using "dvdnavsource" and using <acronym>DCOP</acronym> to play fullscreen.

+    For some sources this will not do much because they are not meant to be
