Ya should have at least told us what gomplayer was

Cause if you told us then some peeps might be interested in making it portable.

So here is a Wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomplayer

Hey, sdonner:

...Is anyone there at your keyboard working on getting a linky or descriptor for looking into gomplayer as a portable app?...

Just curious...

=====================

P.S. to Espreon:

I'm guessing this software is

1) A 'player' app of some kind or another,
and
2) It plays 'goms' of some kind or another

Hope that helps.....

Preacher...

It stands for Gretch Online Movie Player, what's so great about it is that if it attempts to play a file it does not have a codec for it will search for it and install it.

BTW maybe I will try 2 make it portable, only cause of the unique feature.

Thx...

...4 the Xplanation, tho' it properly shoulda come from sdonner.

Frankly, tho', I'm wary of apps that search online for codecs, drivers, etc. that they need w/o my permission and/or my knowledge.

Sounds rather like Micro$haft-ish behavior, don't'cha think?...

...Speakin' of which, isn't your current sig the same one sergentsiler used for awhile there? So, did he sell it to you, then, or what?...

Nah

it pops up a codec search window and from the looks of a screenshot it does not auto install the codec

But

isn't the "if you're missing a codec I will download and install it" -feature bad for portability?
I guess it depends on the definition of "install".

If "install" = "copy dll to folder x" ->good
If "install" = "register stuff in system" ->bad
Isn't it?
