PotPlayer 64 bit is needed for Dolby TrueHD

Submitted by ChocOrange on July 13, 2023 - 6:29pm

The 32 bit version of PotPlayer no longer supports Dolby TrueHD sound. It now only works in the 64-bit version. It's been this way for around 6 months so I doubt it's a bug.

Can PotPlayer be updated to include the 64 bit version please?

A Dolby TrueHD test file can be downloaded from https://www.demolandia.net/downloads.html?id=48882118

Tested using the official Daum PotPlayer downloads.

What am I doing wrong?

I want to make a very simple app called Nettime 3.20 alfa (https://www.timesynctool.com). During the installation the program only copies its files to the standard Program Files (x86) folder and (after changing anything in its config in the program itself) adds this configuration to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Subjective Software\NetTime" section. I do not install its service, so nothing else happens.

Why encouraging developers to submit new launchers?

Outdated Official Portable Applications always claims "Pre-Releases and Other Test Versions" are "None" even though Test Releases is full of programs.

The last entry in that page is from 2019 and none of the comments get any reply, so why encouraging developers to submit new programs if they have zero chance to get accepted and also no chance to even get listed?

Launcher breaks for long name folders with spaces

Submitted by lwc on May 6, 2023 - 7:39pm

If I try to create a launcher for a folder like C:\Users\[user]\Documents\test this\PortableApps\something (note test this) then it fails (complaining about the name= of the program and if I also remove spaces from the name= then it complains about the folder itself).

But if all I do is create a symlink to it from c:\something and run the launcher on it then it works perfectly.

Could you make sure it supports long name folders with spaces?
