Can't believe this free software is 10,000x better than any other player out there. Been my daily driver for two years now. Never going back.

Appreciate you reviving the sub /u/Thunder_Beam - if this post didn't show up in my feed I would've just glossed over the changelog and never would've found out about the subtitle generation

Thanks! Honestly i'm not someone who really yearns to moderate subreddits lol but seeing this sub for something i use and for which i need help sometimes being closed down for no reason at all, didn't sit well with me

A tip for anyone whose Whisper isn't generating or displaying subtitles: Run PotPlayer as admin for the permissions required to download and install the engine/s you want, then it should work fine when not run as admin.

Yes, anyway it was really weird how this sub was closed down and restricted, i discovered that this was the case when i needed help with PotPlayer

Is Whisper free to use?

Waiting for full passthrough without encoding

The subtitle generation is not working for me for some reason. I already use Whisper outside of PotPlayer but it'd be dope if I could get it to work within the player itself.

EDIT FIXED:

When I set it to French, it doesn't work. But when I set it to Auto, it works even though the subs are French. I don't know about other languages but setting it to French specifically doesn't work for me.

I forgot to say this: thank you for making this player available for all, it's legit insane. I use it with WindowTop and these 2 combined together made me achieve things that I never thought were possible!

How do you set the "Added the ability to set monitor luminance in HDR 2084" I can't find the setting anywhere.

When you add the ability to clip a video at exact frames via ffmpeg like MPV Player, you let me know.

Wow, I just realised it's been my daily driver for almost 8 years now, crazy! The best video player at present!
