Hi everyone, I've been using PotPlayer for some time now and I love it except for one small flaw that bugs me. When I double click a file it opens in a new playlist which is ok, but the playlist I last opened doesn't start with the last file I played anymore but from the beginning. The other playlists are not affected by this, and they will open with the file that was last played. Can anyone help me with this?

@leecherman - Thank you. I tried it and can confirm that when I went back down to v1.5.36421, the application closes immediately (properly) again. On the same WinXP SP3 x86 machine - the newer versions hang for between 3-10 seconds on the taskbar before closing. Also, I recently tried KMPlayer (this author's former project) and PotPlayer is much better. KMPlayer was taking 45% CPU whereas PotPlayer takes 15% CPU for the same files playing at same resolution. If only the author can investigate what happened in the closing script after v1.5.36421. Someone please inform the author of this closing bug in his native language (Korean).

I LOVE PotPlayer, But I've noticed that it can't handle *.FLV files that well lately. It opens them, but if I try to jump ahead in time (while looking at tutorials), it freezes and doesn't respond. I wish this was fixed as I currently have FLV set to open with VLC instead.

New versions of this hang on shutdown. When closing the app, it freezes for about 5-10 seconds before closing on Windows XP. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix? This didn't used to happen with previous versions (but I like the new versions for the feature "Display thumbnail previews on nav bar").

Great player. Once you set it up, which is not that easy, you get optimum experience. I use it with LAV CUVID filters, combined with SVP, with Bahgravi skin.

This app is more than a great app. But after upgrading from v1.5.36421 it's hang in the background for a few seconds when closing it. So i will stay with v1.5.36421 :)

To be better it needs to have multi-subs support, additional VSync Renderers like mpc-hc, and the option to dl subtitle from opensubtitles isdb. And also option to download and show lyrics (LRC), or some way to integrate it with MiniLyrics. I'm using the beta version from videohelp website, because it's in english. I couldn't configure it to use external "ffdshow dxva", in that way it shows 2 subtitles on the same movie. I really like it for audio/streaming, its equalizer, the speed,, so I moved all formats into it instead of mpc-hc, that I've used for a long time because of dxva, but the quality and speed here is supreme, much over than VLC or JetAudio, just need some adjusts to make it perfect.

This doesn't have a single developer, rather the author is a company named Daum Communications. Just sayin :)

I used to use KMPlayer which was excellent and was my default media player, but that became aged after the dev stopped developing it. Then PotPlayer came along from the same dev as KMPlayer and again its excellent, it took a little while to learn my way around it as it differed slightly to KMPlayer but once i had it then became my new default player. It has always served me well and plays anything i play at it and also is easily configured to take advantage of DXVA which is a must when playing 1080p vids as the GPU can take on the load instead of the CPU. It comes with all the codecs / filters built in which ive never had the need to use others, the same goes with splitters which are good but i prefer Haali splitter. After installing Haali its a breeze to configure PotPlayer to use it. I have always recommended PotPlayer to anyone who asks me whats the best app to play media with and will most likely always will as it has frequent updates. So if ur in the process of finding a new or replacement media player i cant recommend PotPlayer enough. I Highly recommend PotPlayer to anyone looking for a complete standalone media player, whether you are a beginner or advanced PC user PotPlayer will accommodate your needs. A great media player!

Can't disagree that it's probably the 2nd best player for all media. It will never be the best as it can't display 2nd subtitles. The old KM Player which is v1439 that I'm currently using with LAV filters is and will be the author's best ever work. Displaying the 2nd subtitles on top/bottom of the video is important as we fancy watching non English videos or English videos with small parts of foreign audio in it.As one of my family is hearing impaired, displaying English subs is almost a necessity. Are there any other players out there that can do this for MKV? I doubt it.

I really miss the 2nd subtitle function. In KM there was an option to display multiple subtitles.

Update: Having been using 1.5.34665 x64 for a while now, I have found... - Sped-up plackback (like 1.3x) still adds an annoying reverb to the sound. - When playing a .wtv file that is a digital-tv recording by Windows Media Center, and there are two audio tracks #0 and #1, it always selects the #1 track (center only) instead of the #0 track (full 5.1). - It's digital-tv support is still lacking. While it does work, the channel numbers are completely out of whack, and the app crashes itself (no Windows error, it's its own crash dialog) when it is nearly done a channel autoscan. Oh well. - Oh, and there's no beta updates for the x64!

Having grown increasingly frustrated with MPC-HC (and some "BE" variant of it) when it could not play a seemingly normal .mp4 that Avidemux would load and play; and hating how VLC just doesn't seem to use acceleration properly (making it impossible to watch hd-tv recordings); I decided to give the great PotPlayer a try again (last time was about a little over a year ago). It definitely works better for me now (some quirks are gone), and it plays the file the other 2 couldn't. It has all the customizable amazing features I like to be able to control, and works very well so far. I don't know if the tv card support works properly yet, may try that eventually.

This is arguably THE BEST player in the known UNIVERSE. The author is the one who created KMPlayer, after PANDORA took KMPlayer, he left the development of KMPlayer (no wonder why KMPlayer SUCKS now) and created PotPlayer. I gave it a 9, only because it takes a little effort to set it right for your needs. Other than that it's PHENOMENAL. Here, just compare this too shots I've taken with KMPlayer and PotPlayer rendering a anamorphic MKV. KMPlayer: http://www.img4up.com/up2/52533546193347013437.png As you can see, it failed to recognize the correct aspect ratio and look at the colors and how washed out they are. Now, on PotPlayer: http://www.img4up.com/up2/54898198210130963540.png See, it recognized the correct aspect ratio and the colors are gorgeous.
