Nice full-blown media player. The TON of config settings can be overwhelming, but everything needed works well.
Wish check for update included beta versions. Decline the PUP! (a star off for that archaic inclusion)
For new users: PotPlayer is an excellent multimedia player for Windows, DirectShow based.
The player was originally made with the code of the great MPC player by a very good korean developer, but as now (2020) PotPlayer has a stable development while MPC-HC is in maintenance mode, with just some small bug fixes.
Respect to MPC-HC or MPC-BE the korean player has much more settings and functions, faster and more precise seeking, timeline preview like YouTube that works very well, much better than MPC-BE.
The streaming of Internet videos is more reliable than MPC-HC or MPC-BE because PotPlayer by default use its own splitter and audio-video decoders. They're FFMPEG based like LAV Filters. But LAV filters are more optimized for disk content, not streaming.
Attention: as for April 2020 PotPlayer try to install unwanted PUP program during the set-up, but You can (and should) just click on ''Refuse' and everything is fine.
PotPlayer is one of the best media players available today.
Yes, it does suffer a bit from feature overload and settings mess (some are even darn confusing), but it is definitely full-featured and offers many nice perks other players do not.
Just be sure to not install the PUP included in the installer!
Generally good player, but man does it have configuration overload.
Also takes a lot of disk space compared to, say, the fully equivalent MPC-BE.
Bundling a PUP in the installer is a drawback!
With video mode when I resize the video not fit to player. Like I crop screen hehehe. How to fix that?

Excelent player: quality, resolution, etc; settings with many options to choose from, but what happened to my audio;
I'm not able to hear any sound nor see the subtitles on my mp4 file. w10 pro
Its not come with aac decoder, so I suggest you download potplaayer opencodec, its available on their forum... I dont know the reason, but maybe because of the license.

Excellent player for windows. Very fast and user friendly. I suggest you to develop it for android also.
Really awesome video player for windows missing it in android.
Hope android version of it may also be available soon..
An amazing player, less known than VLC or MPC but I've discovered it recently and I find it fantastic.
A lot of possibilities : I play for example DVD's directly from a player (on the PC), I upscale it to 1920x1080, I use the wonderful software DimtriRender to have smooth and beautiful pictures at 60fps.
I use LAV filtes in combination with MadVR. The result is much better than many expensive players you can find. You can adjust and what I want as I want and have access to many many features. Ideal to of course with Blu-ray or film in FullHD.
I do recommend PotPlayer: try it!

Lilymay prefers vlc but gave the AWESOME Potplayer an excellent 5 rating. lol. Really? Your opinion of Potplayer is based solely on our comments? lame.
I mean, vlc is not bad, it opens every kind of video, but Potplayer goes way beyond that.
Its plethora of configuration options lets everyone tweak it and their video watching experience just the way they like it.
looked at all of your comments on players but you will not get anything better than vlc dont listen to all these so called experts.
Simply the Best.
For beginners, as for professionals too.
No codec needed, but can be implemented as one wish, could not be more personally.
Attention - Do NOT download from any site !
Recommendation - Use 32bit version on x64 bit Windows too !
PS - Very often is upgraded and it is evolving very quickly!
The new version (1.6.49243) can not decode DTS audio . Please help.
I am getting
Built-in MKV Source::English (Audio 1)
Built-in AVIAC3/DTS::XForm Out
best ever..with ease in playing and excellent sound settings ...beautiful skin with best kind of audio booster..
Very good media player. As good as old KMPlayer. But it lacks the multi-subtitle function as in KMPlayer
This is an amazing player which appears to be able to handle anything thrown at it.
I would have given it 5* but for the confusing preferences, some of which are incomprehensible in the way they work (or not). Features such as aspect ratio are completely baffling in the way they are used.
Very similar to The KMPlayer by the same developer which also suffers from a confusing plethora of settings.
Great player, I like it better than the latest versions of KMPlayer (which has really gone downhill as of late).
Is there a way to contact the developer? (in English?)
And one question or feature suggestion: is there a hotkey or something to skip forward/backwards only a small jump, like ½ or 1 second or so? (left/right by default does 5 sec back/forward, I need smaller steps)
Hi Marc, yes there is an option to skip according to your choice. You will find the option under Playback - Time Jump. Press F5 to bring up the Preferences menu. Thank you.

This is undoubtly an excellent player used with LAV filters, madVR, AC3 filter and Haali.
It would be great if the author keeps improving the player at regular basis.
For too long there has been a problem in playing the next file in a folder. Its not been solved yet.
