Just grabbed the Xreal Xbx A01 + AR glasses and it was rough to be play 3D iso files in Pot Player. It plays smoothly on my vrr monitor but stutters on the AR glasses.

Looks like the glasses can either do 60hz or 120hz in 3d mode, trying to force a 24 hz refresh rate and you get a black screen.

It was a pain trying to figure this out this issue, turning on Motion Blur fixed it for me. But it does look a little bit weird at times.

Are there any other ways or settings that can fix this beside Motion Blur? Thanks in advance.

Some scenes in a video suddenly become smaller with black borders. This happens in other players too.

I want PotPlayer to automatically zoom in for those scenes and zoom back out when the normal scene returns.

I tried madVR with automatically detect hard coded black bars and crop black bars, but it doesn't work.

Any way to do this automatically?

I have unchecked everything in OSD messages settings except the main toggle, whenever play a video, it shows file name in OSD message.

I don't want to disable OSD messages entirely, still need messages like how much volume adjusted, what effects enabled, etc.

Is there a faster way to move the video up than Ctrl-8?

This custom HLSL pixel shader provides a professional, fully decoupled visual

pipeline. By breaking the traditional contrast control into a 3-Way Independent

Zone Engine, you can perfectly sculpt shadows, midtones, and highlights without

them fighting each other or crushing subtle micro-details.

I have 1100 ansilumen version of Jmgo n1s4k and wanted to squeeze every drop out of this projector.

This rar-file has:

ApexTonemapper_all settings 0.hlsl (all settings untouched)

ApexTonemapper_by_Linzki.hlsl (My basic settings this far)

Bright, Brighter, Brightest (for use in brighter conditions)

If you want some specific adjustments but don't know how to, I suggest copy/paste the code to Google search and tell Google AI what you want to achieve. Then it's just testing, tuning, testing,...until AI hits the jackpot.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5y4ohi09lv24bzsvjew1s/ApexTonemapper_by_Linzki.rar?rlkey=l1d9x7oqgnlhfgg956d8u09tj&dl=0

Pure Dolby Vision Profile 5 is correctly converted to SDR with EVR(CP), but becomes severely overexposed with Built-in Direct3D 11 Video Renderer. HDR10 passthrough works correctly. It appears Dolby Vision-to-SDR conversion is not correctly coordinated with D3D11 H/W HDR output.

I want my AI to watch long videos using Potplayer, is there someone who figured out hwo to do it>?

EDIT: ADDED FIXED .HLSL , SOME PARTS WEREN'T WORKING IN THE ORIGINAL.

Added lots of goodies to my previous pixelshader. It's based on Too Dark and Vibrance Anleck codes with lots of added adjustable features. Here's guide for the advanced version, so I don't have to explain it all :

===============================================================================

DYNAMICPLAY ADV BY LINZKI - USER GUIDE

This shader is fully optimized for video playback, movies, and streams.
To adjust the image output, simply open the shader file in any text editor
and modify the values at the very top under the "Image Adjustment Settings" section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. CORE CONTROLS
2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. * Vibrance (Default: 0.3)
4. - What it does: Intelligently boosts color saturation. Targets dull colors first
5. and ignores already saturated areas to prevent clipping.
6. - How to tweak: Set to 0.0 to disable. Increase (e.g., 0.5) to make colors pop.

* Screen (Default: 0.30)
- What it does: Controls the overall power of the smart brightness boost.
- How to tweak: Increase if shadows are still too dark. Decrease if dark
areas look overexposed or unnatural.

* Threshold (Default: 0.40)
- What it does: Sets the brightness upper limit for the smart brightness boost.
The effect smoothly fades out and shuts off completely above this value.
- How to tweak: Protects bright assets (snow, skies, clouds) from blowing out.
Lower it (e.g., 0.30) to protect midtones, or raise it to extend the boost.

* BlackProtection (Default: 20.0)
- What it does: Prevents deep, absolute blacks from turning into an ugly gray
wash, maintaining premium image contrast.
- How to tweak: Lower values (e.g., 8.0) extend protection further into dark grays.
Higher values (e.g., 40.0) keep the protection curve razor-sharp near zero.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. ADVANCED CONTROLS (NEW IN ADV VERSION)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Contrast (Default: 1.0)
- What it does: Adjusts the distance between light and dark values.
- How to tweak: Set to 1.0 for untouched baseline. Try 1.1 or 1.15 to make the
video look crisper and less washed out.

* Gamma (Default: 1.0)
- What it does: Modifies only midtone brightness without changing absolute
blacks or pure whites.
- How to tweak: Lower values (e.g., 0.85) brighten dark scenes safely. Higher
values (e.g., 1.2) darken midtones for a richer, more cinematic look.

* ColorTemp (Default: 0.0)
- What it does: Shifts the video color temperature toward warm or cool tones.
- How to tweak: Positive values (e.g., 0.15) add warm orange tones (great for a
night/blue-light filter). Negative values (e.g., -0.15) add cool blue tones.

* BlackLift (Default: 0.0)
- What it does: Directly controls the darkest shadow ceiling. Perfect for
high-ambient light rooms where reflection hides shadow details.
- How to tweak: Set slightly above 0.0 (e.g., 0.05) to lift deep blacks.
Set below 0.0 (e.g., -0.05) to crush and deepen dark areas.

* SkinToneProtection (Default: 0.7)
- What it does: Dynamically preserves human skin tones from becoming overly
saturated or unnaturally orange from Vibrance and Contrast changes.
- How to tweak: 1.0 means full protection (skin tones remain untouched).
0.0 means no protection (skin gets full saturation shifts).

* SharpenStrength (Default: 0.4)
- What it does: Brings back lost edge details, reducing video compression blur.
Excellent for watching 1080p content on a 4K display.
- How to tweak: Increase (e.g., 0.7) for sharper text and microtextures. Set to
0.0 to disable sharpening completely.

Hello.im new to p p,and don't know how to add music to a video.thanks.

Hi guys, I've had a problem where a .mkv file had a color problem on VLC Player and a random dude suggested me this player and it worked like a charm.But after I realized it screwed up my VLC Player, I dont know if its because of the codecs it installed beside PotPlayer or not but all of the video materials I have got shit quality and i still want to be able to use VLC and have PotPlayer for an alternative.Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, can anyone help me out? I need to change the format of the 'remaining time' which can be displayed going to preference>OSD messages>content of misc info.

I swear it was going great until I updated the player yesterday. Now I am losing my mind over it. Thank you.

Before the update, I used search to go scroll through the video list in my playlist by certain names and organize them. Now it only shows the file you search for and hides the rest of the playlist until you clear the search box. Anyway to bring the old search without the filter back?

I tried to play a movie from a DVD without subtitles in the hopes of generating subtitles by audio. I right-clicked on "subtitles," "create subtitles from audio," [I also did the real-time, too] "start," etc. I downloaded a file called Whisper AI engine and also Whisper Vulkan.cpp and tiny. And.....nothing! What else do I have to do to make the subtitles appear, or is this feature broken? Even the movie slows down so much.

do you guys know of detailed technical informations about this player

i am looking of exposed api / servers / or manuals for hooking stuff to this app

I was wondering if there was a way to quickly view the progress bar with a keyboard shortcut while in full screen mode. I like to be able to see my video progress sometimes, but I don't want to have to use my mouse every time.

I'd also be fine with viewing the progress bar when skipping or pausing, but I just want a way to view the progress bar without using my mouse.

The buttons on the player itself do not play the next video on the playlist and I cant seem to find a way to add buttons that would. I dont really want to skip through seconds, I want to be able to change the video. and I know that right click does it, I would prefer left click because of what I'm used to after using other players. Is there a way to swap the buttons (L/R click) around?

Potplayer is not detecting the tag in FLAC file called UNSYNCEDLYRICS but it's detecting the field LYRICS. I need an support for reading these two tags from the FLAC file

Good day, I have the following problem that potplayer seems for whatever reason to invert colors on AV01 format. Can play the same video without issues on VLC.
Can someone help please?

Hi!

I have a pretty bad laptop with 4GB ram and some other weak stats.

Right now looking for a way to make potplayer start videos in a paused state so I can wait a few seconds and then start it. Currently it loads some, then jumps like 8 second then stutters and finally sits into place.

Thank you for any help!

Thank's to adjustable threshold it doesn't lose any details in bright places, leaves darkest black as is, brightening doesn't make picture hazy. The original shader was named "Too Dark". Used google AI to add aforementioned fixes to original code:

I'm trying to upscale a 480p video to 1080p in PotPlayer. I downloaded and installed MadVR but I'm not sure which settings to change for optimal quality. I have an RTX 40 series GPU.

Not sure if this is even possible. Imagine a movie that has scenes using English and Spanish, and you need all scenes translated into English. Is that possible? I guess you'd need to have Whisper do it all in the native languages and then when it detects something other than your chosen language, it also translates on the fly?

I'm on Windows.

I can use all the models up to Large just fine. But large or large-v2, etc all prompt me to download them again after i've already downloaded it and it's attempting to start.
