    Pot Player


    I have tried various media players..eg VLC,Blaze media players etc but i found most of them don't play all media formats and either convert it or download another player..anyway downloaded Pot Player ,which i never heard of, and found it amazing in what it can do.

    Downloaded a music video from Youtube ,which was a WEBM file, and previously i had convert it to mp3 using an online converter and Pot Player has a setting for recording audio only..so i don't need another converter and you can continue using your pc while Pot Player continues with audio recording in the background.

    I am still training myself on various settings within Pot Player..I recommend it


    My OS is Windows 10 Pro 1909 with latest updates

    I have used VLC for years and it has played everything I have ever thrown at it.
    It is a great bit of FREE software!

    Also make sure that your settings are saved:

    I like Pot Player, because it is the only player able to play 5.1 audio to 2.0 (the audio also sounds great). VLC can too, but it has to be switched every time. Not to mention, that default settings are just right, except for the hardware acceleration, it has to be enabled, but it is just one click, unlike in MPC-HC, where it is hidden.

    I always change these settings in PotPlayer:

    Then you get hover activated controls.

    This one for thumbnail previews when hovering on timeline:

    For MadVR:

    Then I backup settings file in case it gets overwritten.

    My Potplayer has aliasing issue. It happens specific videos, but not every video. Especially, the recent ones. Here is the screenshot.

    As you can see, it looks clear. How do I fix it?
