In this video, Jack takes you through how to open a 'non-player' library in Kontakt full.
Non player libraries do not load into the libraries tab of Kontakt as they do not have an NI serial number. This means non-player libraries will not work in Kontakt Player.

It would be sensible if this was included in the instructions when you buy a 'non-player library'.
Would also be nice if it were clearer that these products will not show in your list of instruments and you have to manually navigate your forest of files to load them...
^ Agreed. A bit of a pain to load.
^ +1. Quite a poor show.
Definitely a pain to load. I've found that placing the folder into the 'quickload browser' practically solves this problem as it becomes available on the main page.
Oh, oh, oh... after downloading all the free libraries, you indeed arrive here where
it is told that they won't work when you don't have the full Kontakt indeed
Why oh why?
It reminds me that I had bought two apps a month ago, which, also afterwards, didn't seem to work in
only the K-player. That was sooo disappointing. And painful (inclusive for the developer, a nice guy) to get my money back.
There is a very irritating compatibility-problem between al lot of libraries and apps and Kontakt/Kontakt Player. Never experienced that in other players or whatever hosts.
I suppose this is not a way to sell more to irritated costumers who finally give up and
by the full Kontakt to be saved from all the fuss?
If not; why? It's just a question of programming and coordination no?
This time Spitfire, before Sound Hub (Sound Dust).
And all sounded great...
:(
THIS IS SO USER UNFRIENDLY. STILL HAVE'NT GOT IT WORKING. DONE EVERYTHING AS INSTRUCTED AND EVEN BOUGHT HD VERSION. ITS GOOD THAT THE MARKETING DEPT OF SPITFIRE DOSE'NT ADVERTISE THIS AS PLUG-IN AND PLAY BECAUSE IT IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITE.....CANT PLUG-IN OR PLAY. HEY!.. WHY DONT THEY MAKE ANOTHER CUMBERSUM VIDEO ABOUT HOW 'NOT' TO USE SPITFIRE? THAT WOULD BE MORE REALISTIC AND HELPFUL.

I wonder how much it would cost Spitfire to use NIs authorisation... I'm assuming that is the reason they don't do it. Maybe it's because the interfaces are not complaint with Complete Kontrol though, who knows. Not what you expect from a big name publisher of high end librairies though, is it?
