PotPlayer

[Pako]

I needed to play a file that was in 3D HSBS format.
My favorite player (MPC-HC) unfortunately failed.
I therefore had the file (it was more than 10 GB) to convert.
It took a very long time. And so I was looking for another player that can convert online 3D to 2D.
Next time (in the same situation), it would then not be necessary laboriously convert before playing.
I found out that PotPlayer can do it.
But there was not a plugin that suits my needs.
And so I wrote a new one. That suits me completely, because it has all the features that I previously used with MPC-HC.
I'm trying it for some time now and it seems that I leave permanently MPC-HC (before I thought it would be only for some files) and go to PotPlayer.
I'll see over time.

Thanks for sharing your PotPlayer plugin. IÔÇÖm controlling PotPlayer now for more than 2 years with an X10 remote and EventGhost, based on keystroke emulation. With the large set of commands your plugin offers I will be able to enhance the remote-functionality even more.

Best wishes

Hi. I registered here just to thank you for this plugin. With this fix from EvilMF my PotPlayer works now great. Also I think I found a bug in "Jump (to)" controls. On "Speed normal" some menu pop ups, "Speed up +" is actually speed down and "Speed down -" is speed normal. Could you check it?

Thank you, it makes me happy. It is unfortunately very rare approach.

Also I think I found a bug in "Jump (to)" controls. On "Speed normal" some menu pop ups, "Speed up +" is actually speed down and "Speed down -" is speed normal. Could you check it?

Thanks for the warning. Yes, it was a bug. I do not use these commands, so I not encountered it.
You can download the patched version (0.3).

Great that this plugin exists, Pako! Thank you very much.

But I have some bug reports. When I try to use such commands as "Show PotPlayer menu", I see the following error:

Code: Select all

Error in Action: "PotPlayer: Show PotPlayer menu"
Traceback (most recent call last) (1691):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionBase.py", line 170, in CallWrapper
    return self(*args)
    TypeError: __call__() takes at least 3 arguments (1 given)

Besides, is it possible to add such commands as "Prev/Next Bookmark/Chapter"?

But I have some bug reports. When I try to use such commands as "Show PotPlayer menu", I see the following error:

I think that this is not a bug, but the cause is on your side.
You must first configure the action and only then can you use it.

Besides, is it possible to add such commands as "Prev/Next Bookmark/Chapter"?

I do not know about such functions.
However - check out the action User command (and read the description).
If you miss some action, you can create it exactly using the action User command (if such item exists in PotPlayer menu).

Ok, my fault.
I've configured the action, but it gave me the error at first.

Code: Select all

         PotPlayer: Show PotPlayer menu
            Please report: 0, True, None, None

                width = max(width_lst)+8
            ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence

I've restarted EventGhost, and now I see the menu.

I do not know about such functions.

These functions are in Playback->Chapter/Bookmark menu

However - check out the action User command (and read the description).
If you miss some action, you can create it exactly using the action User command (if such item exists in PotPlayer menu).

[Pako]

These functions are in Playback->Chapter/Bookmark menu

I see, there is no such item ...
I use PotPlayer very rarely and this function has no meaning for me.
I understand that I must do some bookmarks and then I'll have a corresponding menu item...
So I did it for you and I received the following values:

BookmarkMenuIDs.png (5.58 KiB) Viewed 9592 times

So now you can create the desired action itself.

Ok, I have created the actions with User command.
There is another possibility to see these items - when you watch DVD or BluRay with chapters.
Now I'm trying to figure out whether there is a command to close navigational windows (I know they can be closed with Escape key).

Is there a way to add a "discrete pause" function (i.e pause if playing otherwise do nothing)? Or does it need to be an existing function within Potplayer?

Otherwise would it be possible to detect the playing status of Potplayer, and then pause accordingly (i.e if status "palying" is detected)?


thanks

skribb, it seems that PotPlayer does not offer this feature at the moment. Please add your vote to https://potplayer.daum.net/forum/viewto ... ?f=9&t=182.

Ok thanks

Hi, the "fullscreen" action doesn't seem to fire in PotPlayer.

[skribb]

Is it possible to detect changes in Potplayer such as when the play state changes to paused, stopped, or starts playing a new video?

Like the Winamp plugin does. Winamp.PlayingTrack.Changed etc


thanks!

Pako,
I am posting here to let you know I moved to Potplayer and REALLY REALLY REAAAAAAAALLY appreciate this plugin.

I can't believe it's not included with Eventghost by default!!


If it matters, I am getting the following error (but I think the plugin still works)
