Music & Video Apps Support

Hi, a user of fre:ac Portable reported a bug to me.

Now that fre:ac 1.0.32 is released, fre:ac Portable 1.0.31 offers to update to it. The PortableApps wrapper, however, interferes with the update process which results in an error message.

Please remove the eUpdate.dll file from the PortableApps version of fre:ac. This will disable the updater only - fre:ac will continue to work normally without that DLL.

Thanks,
Robert

I have portable VLC Media Player installed. Whenever I start portable apps launcher I get a message asking to install an update. If I say yes the update fails. When I try to remove VLC Media Player that fails. I seem to be stuck with no way out. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Since I work due to my eye disabilities in high-contrast-mode (black windows, yellow font, white borders), I'm always curious for apps to fulfill the requirements for high-contrast-mode, or not.

I installed today, February 19th, 2018, and tried Pot Player on Windows 7 and first I was glad to have "dark" theme, but then I opened the about dialog, the settings, etc. and was totally unable to use them, because of yellow text (default system color) on white or light background!

So after reading some good reviews about PotPlayer, I decided to try out. After all, it was even touted as being very close to VLC as far as the mountain of different formats it could play. I downloaded it and installed it.

I am running the most current non-beta version of PortableApps on two fully up to date Windows 10 machines. I have also tried disabling live protection with my Nod32 anti-virus. Tried this on two separate machines on different networks and internet connections. Tried both yesterday and today.

PortableApps indicated that an update 1.99 was available for CDex but the update fails with the following message:

In video preferences I set DirectX to display 2, but it always starts on my 1st display. Even bothered to update from 2.1.5 to the newest version, but no luck.

Hi all,

Has anybody managed to get VLC Portable play encrypted BluRays?

There is a solution available for VLC Vanilla at http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ but the people I have talked to so far have not been able to make VLC Portable recognize these two files (plugin + config-file) correctly.

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Best,
VLC Fan

I wanna change the temp folder to a directory on my D drive yet when I restart the program it has reverted to using C drive User/appdata. How do I fix this? I tried changing it in the settings and config files and made them readonly then the program wouldn't start. Please help

Hi, my PortableApps platform shows CDex 1.96 is available to update, but if I will update it seems to start downloading, but within less then a second I get the error "Download Error: Access Forbidden (403) on file http://mirror.cdex.mu/CDex-1.96.exe"

If I remember well, I also got the same type of error when I tried to install CDex within portable apps a few months ago.

What can I do to get this update installed?

With the Audacity Portable 2.2.1 release, we have also released a plugin installer for LAME 3.100.
However, Audacity does not support this version of the LAME library yet. The latest supported version is 3.99.5.
