About PotPlayer
PotPlayer is a multimedia player for Windows that supports a wide range of video and audio codecs and formats. It is published by Kakao Corp. and is a Windows-only application.
The player is known for being highly customisable, with options for skins, subtitles, audio filters, video renderers and keyboard shortcuts. It supports hardware decoding and handles playlists, subtitles and network streams. The latest version in the input data is 26.08.19.0, with release notes published on the project's update page.
PotPlayer suits Windows users who want a free player with a great many settings and find the default players limited. The settings are dense and the interface can look cluttered at first. It is freeware rather than open source, so Mac and Linux users need a different player such as VLC or mpv. The installer may offer optional extras, so read each setup screen carefully. Updates arrive often, and the project publishes an update page with changes for each version.
Choose custom installation and watch for optional extras during setup.
