PotPlayer information

Submitted by Dreamer8 on June 19, 2019 - 3:20pm

Hello, as I said in another topic, PotPlayer probably became adware, so do you plan to release the next versions (without adware)?

I found also some issues in the program description:

System Requirements: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
- AFAIK, 1.7.17508 is the latest version which support Windows XP

[Fixed] VLC Portable: "Java not found" error when I play a Blu-Ray

Submitted by XJDHDR on June 7, 2019 - 11:41pm

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.

Audacity, no crash recovery process?

Submitted by RichR on May 21, 2019 - 3:46pm

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. Smile

Audacity 2.3.1 doesn't use Portable .cfg file

Submitted by jathalls on March 22, 2019 - 1:20pm

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.

VLC Updating & Default App in Windows 10

Submitted by BPaul_H on March 15, 2019 - 6:20pm

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.
