fb2kPortable add foobar2000\encoders to DirectoriesToPreserve in installer.ini

Submitted by degausser on May 12, 2025 - 8:46pm

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}.

VLC Portable 2.x

Submitted by greg45416 on November 16, 2024 - 3:30pm

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!

can't get MPC-HC to launch a playlist in fullscreen after updating to latest version of the app

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.

VLC Remove spash screen?

Submitted by NotaTim on January 18, 2024 - 3:38pm

I suppose it is a splash screen.
When the program opens It says

Media VLC Player Portable
PortableAppscom / go/ VLCPortable

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dsxI9uP2Yp2w7iMWLKoNOitqvq7dzNW7/view?u...

It disappears after a few seconds, and normally this would not annoy me, but it does in this case because it is superimposed on the video I am playing.
