Music & Video Apps Support

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.

See these images for details on the message provided by Audacity, along with where this message comes from: https://imgur.com/a/1zf97

To the best of my knowledge, this site does not provide a means to download the most recent release of the 64-bit version of VLC Portable. When I press the Download button, it always downloads the 32-bit version only.

Or am I mistaken? Is there a way to download the 64-bit version here or at Videolan.org? I've found other sites that supply this, but I'm not sure whether to trust them. How and where can I download an official 64-bit portable version of VLC?

Thanks

I would like to run one of the media player apps on a USB drive, that has to be run on an older, slower computer. This computer already has MPC on it, and when it was transitioning between video clips on a playlist, it gave a one second MPC splash screen (or whatever it was called), before going on to the next video.

As stated by rganny here, my current MediaInfo package seems to display the first run dialogue. This should not happen as the shell integration boxes are ticked by default on a new install or users could inadvertently tick them on an update.
MediaInfo would clean up the mess itself if one unticks these options, or the launcher takes care of that, but only during a second run.

The latest updates (going back the past 2 months at least for me) to SMplayer portable app are triggering "false positive" reports in Kaspersky AV.

The Kaspersky warning claims that app can be used for malicious purposes and places the Kaspersky AV Suite into it's "warning mode" (non-green AV GUI background) until the portable app is either (1) removed from the PC; or (2) an exclusion/exception is entered into Kaspersky.

The Kaspersky AV scanner provides no other virus indications other than to nag me about SMplayer potentially being used for malicious purposes.

fre:ac appears to have changed the name of its settings file in 1.0.28 from config.xml to freac.xml

We were not aware of this change until a user advised us by email.

A fix will be published shortly.

VLC 2.2.4 (current version here) has a serious bug that allows complete device takeover. This has been known by VLC for months, and a preliminary fix was included in v2.2.5.1 release back in January 2017. Why has the portable version here not been updated? If we users are to rely on the software offered here, it would be nice to be able to have confidence that security problems are addressed in a timely manner.

Audacity Portable creates a directory in AppData\Local\Audacity, which itself sometime contains session files. After closing Audacity these files aren't being deleted. Is it normal? If so, is there any setting I can change so that it creates these files and directories in the Audacity Portable "Data" directory?
