Music & Video Apps Support

When I tried to play a Blu-ray disc with VLC, I was informed that VLC could not find Java and so it could not display the disc's menu. This is despite me having Java Portable available.

I did some digging and found that the reason for this is that the PortableApps Launcher for VLC was not coded to expose Java Portable to VLC. After noticing this, I added the required lines to the config files then re-compiled the Launcher EXE and tried VLC again. After I did this, VLC was able to play the disc's menu.

CDexPortable_2.18 updating fails and download is corrupted. Please fix.

UPDATE: Hah, never mind! When I closed the unhelpful Audacity instance and right-clicked on the unedited file to "Open with >" and start over again, Audacity Portable did, indeed, offer to recover the crashed projects, just like 'normal' Audacity does. Not sure why it works that way but I'm thankful I didn't lose all those hours of edits.

I just loaded and installed Audacity 2.3.1 using the ...paf.exe file (rather than the .zip file from the Audacity download site which was available for 2.3.0) and find that it does not use the .cfg file in a PortableSettings folder. There is another PortableSettings folder in the Data folder but that doesn't appear to be used either.

I have VLC Portable 3.0.4 on my updated Windows 10 Pro computer. Two issues:

1) Cannot assign VLC Portable as a default application for the various file types it uses (I've tried all ways).
2) When VLC gives a message to upgrade, unlike Firefox & Thunderbird, VLC "_INSTALLS_" on my machine (in "C:\Program Files(x86)\..."), so I am unable to upgrade.

Please update to latest version 3.0.6.
Thanks.

I am using the Tencoder portable app, (installed on a thumb drive) and got the following message while trying a dvd rip
Assertion v>0 && v

Is there an older version ( 1.x ) of VLC on Portableapps?

Apparently the newer versions ( 2.x ) will not stream youtube videos.

thank you

Any chance updating MusicBrainz Picard to new version (2.0.4 x64). They drop support for 32-bit completely...

Please remove "Windows XP" from the System Requirements line on the Audacity app page. Audacity 2.3.0 does not run on Windows XP.

Audacity 2.1.3 was the last version that supported Windows XP, according to the Audacity site. In all later versions, Windows XP is "not officially supported". However, up until a couple months ago, Audacity did run on my XP box. Today was the first time I tried to run Audacity since the release of 2.3.0 on the PortableApps site. It does not run anymore on XP.
