    I do not use Windows, and PotPlayer is Windows-only. That automatically means I cannot use it. I just moved completely to Linux a week ago after CoPilot appeared on my PC after an update, and remained after uninstall. I really LIKE PotPlayer, but again, now that I'm Linux-only on all 4 PCs, it's of no use to me. VLC is the next, closest alternative.

    You need to configure mpc over cli or config file, unlike MPC-HC/BE or PotPlayer withe outstanding GUI. I was seen some pdf manual to MPV, which had few hundreds pages. For MPC and PotPlayer I newer needed to use manual - everything was clear thanks to logical GUI structure.
