[Fixed in v3.6] CMC does not recognize Potplayer 64

Post by dvoncannon » Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:00 pm

I installed Potplayer today, but CMC does not recognize it as an installed player.
CMC Version 3.5.2020.0704
Potplayer 64 Version 200730
Windows 10 x64 Version 2004 Build 19041.450

Any suggestions?

What directory path is PotPlayer installed inside?

I'm also running 200730, but the 32-bit version. I'm thinking the 64-bit version might be on a different path.

32-bit version is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\DAUM\PotPlayer

That's a supported path in CMC.

Any chance the exe is a different name? It's looking for PotPlayerMini.exe:
  • C:\Program Files\DAUM\PotPlayer\PotPlayerMini.exe
Also, if by any chance you installed PotPlayer after starting CMC, you need to exit and restart CMC. CMC scans for the player paths on startup.

Argh. Why.

I just added the name variation to the next version of CMC. Thanks for letting me know.

In the mean time, you can get around this limitation by either:
  1. installing the 32-bit version, or
  2. making a copy in the same directory of PotPlayerMini64.exe named PotPlayerMini.exe

Renaming the application works well. I should have thought of that. Thank you for your quick response.
