Anyone use Pot Player please? I have a question regarding audio and codecs.
Thanks.

I have a question regarding audio and codecs

Not that I use it, but ask.


(My typical players, MPUI-hcb & mpv.net. And on the odd occasion, MPC-BE.)

Apparently, because of licensing issues, certain audio codec aren't included with Pot player..consequently som video have no sound.

Trying to find out what codecs are missing, where to find them and how to install them.

Install the K-Lite Standard codec package and you have all you need
without searching for codecs and make complicated setups.

And just what codecs are these?
MediaInfo is a convenient unified display of the most relevant technical and tag data for video and audio files.

Have a link to the video (or sample of it)?

It must be a very odd codec to not be supported, I'd think.

Have you tried the other mentioned players (or FFmpeg [ffplay.exe] itself)?
(The way I look at things is that if mpv/mplayer or MPC-BE can't play it, it isn't worth playing .)


(The players I mentioned, should be able to play just about anything [not really familiar with Pot, but probably that too?] without the need to install any "codec pack". [In the long ago past, I used to use the Combined Community Codec Pack [CCCP], but I've had no need for it in ages.])
