Music & Video Apps Support

For the last few days I've gotten this error when installing Audacity Portable via the "Get More Apps" menu option:

"The downloaded copy of Audacity is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."

Is there an issue with the app? If not, is there a workaround that I can use to get Audacity working again?

I'd like to use VLC portable with Subtitle Edit but it must be the 64bit version. Apparently the one here is 32bit and I'm not seeing a 64bit portable version on the VLC website. Any suggestions? TIA

*****UPDATE (in case it helps anyone else): Found it in the development nightlies @
https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64/

I see it listed on the website but I can't find it on the app download list in the Portableapps launcher app?

The official encoder pack installs to foobar2000\encoders; amending installer.ini with

PreserveDirectory3=App\foobar2000\encoders

would make user installed encoders persist fb2kPortable upgrades.

Also, foobar2000\components are foobar2000 shipped component dlls, that are rebuilt with every release and should probably not be preserved; user components as of v2.x reside in profile\user-components{,-x64}.

Hi,

Is there a copy of VLC Portable 2.x available? VLC has a nice feature that can play two video streams in two windows synchronously - this comes in handy for presentations that include both a slide show feed and a presenter feed. The problem is that this feature has been broken throughout the entire VLC 3.x series. (The problem has nothing to do with the portable apps - it is also broken for the official videolan.org images).

Thanks!

Bonjour,
J'utilise très régulièrement AIMP, cet excellent lecteur musique
Or je viens de découvrir qu'un grand nombre de données se retrouve dans %APPDATA%\AIMP , ce qui ne rend pas vraiment l'application portable à 100%
Pouvez vous corriger ce bug ?

Cordialement,

Hi, I just noticed that the Openshot portable remains on the old version 3.1.1 when since last July it has been on a stable version 3.2.1. Would it be possible to update? It implements several new features and fixes several problems from previous versions.

After clicking pin to taskbar (with the platform) and starting Audacious from there, it opens on a second icon in the taskbar and not on the pinned one.

I have a pen drive that I set up many years ago with some movie files on it and I added MPC-HC Portable and VLC Portable to the drive. I created playlist files for the movies and then setup bat files to launch the playlists.

I'm fairly sure this is a problem with Audacity itself and not specifically the portable version, but I thought I'd mention it here anyway to see if others are having the same issue or if perhaps it's just me.
