About

> HOW TO USE IT: You need to install the latest version of PotPlayer to get it working - https://potplayer.daum.net <

PotPlayer is a media player developed for Windows by South Korean Internet company Kakao (formerly Daum Communications). Player can play some video service links or any links if they are direct urls to some video.

To open a video link or playlist link in PotPlayer you can use the buttons on the site or you can use the menu items from the context menu (the right-click popup bar) on a link or on the actual video page.

You can also use mouse clicks on a link or a page to open it directly in the player. In order for that to work, you need to open the extension's preferences and enable the necessary features.

Optional features (disabled by default):
- auto-pause a video in Youtube player;
- pause Youtube player when Potplayer starts;
- play video using middle mouse click on youtube.com/watch* page;
- sync current video position (time) with PotPlayer;
- open a Youtube link in the player using middle mouse click on a link;
- «Open/Add link to player» in the context menu for any link, html5 video player

If it doesn't work for you or you have portable version of player then try to open the player's settings (key "F5"), then go to "Association" tab and check any association (e.g. ".mp4") and finally press Apply or OK button (after applying the settings you can uncheck previously checked association).

It's recommended to always update the player to the latest version of PotPlayer (get the latest version: https://potplayer.daum.net).
