This beta version has a problem when trying to use H/W to decode video! The stable version is OK!
Other than that, the program is very good! I thought it was better than the VLC or SMPlayer that I used before!

I like Potplayer so much because it plays various Types of video files so smoothly and the Picture quality is also very excellent.But sound quality is satisfactory not to be as good as others Because the sound feels Crackling, distorted & Very poor during listening soundtracks due to low Bass frequency. Please add + Bass controls on this Player for best sound quality.
Thank you.
Pros: Highly Customizable & User Friendly
Cons: Mediocre or poor sound quality
