Suppose there is a category of programs for computers that is competitive. In that case, that is undoubtedly that of video players, and although there are many recommendable ones, we are sure that today we will stop at one of the best. In this particular case, we want to refer to POTPlayer, one of the most complete and powerful players that exist, and that has not stopped improving its features in recent times.

As we said before, POTPlayer is a very, very strong video player which offers a vast amount of exciting features, starting with the fact that it allows you to configure the playback of your audio or video to the maximum. From that point on, many attractive qualities put it above other similar services, and that we will detail in the following lines.

Operation

We will start by talking about its ability to play incomplete files. This point differentiates it from other players, which cannot allow us to carry out this action. If you are downloading a movie on your computer and want to watch it as it downloads to save time, thanks to this software, you will be able to do it without any limitations.

Another of the curiosities we liked about this player is that we can create playback queues for hundreds of files as long as we want, allowing us to keep our series wholly organized. This is regardless of the size, quality, or format of each file you add to the playback queue.

And we highlight it because one of the main aspects that we must take into account when we select a player for the day-to-day is that it has support for most common video formats, which fortunately happens in this case. It supports almost all standard video and audio formats, so as you can see, it is an all-rounder player.

In addition to the above, POTPlayer supports 3D playback and many previously installed codecs, ensuring that we rarely postpone a playback to perform other tasks. And if you want to make sure you don't lose sight of your favorite content, you only have to mark some of them as your favorite scenes or clips and then immediately access them.

If you have subtitle files, you can upload them to the system so that they can be played synchronized with the videos so that you will not be forced to watch the contents only in their original language.

You can also decide whether you want the playback to continue when the screen is locked or, if you prefer that, in that case, the process stops so that it does not go too far ahead when you are not watching the screen.

Keep in mind

POTPlayer is such a good player that many believe it is one of the few that is really in a position to be considered a direct rival of VLC, for many, the best program in this segment.

The user interface of this application we liked a lot, as it is simple and minimalist, emphasizing what matters in these cases is the content we are playing. Apart from that, we found several reports that point out that certain sections are not translated from Korean to other languages. However, with the recent work of its developers, this is almost completely solved.

The best

If we had to mention the main positive aspects of this program, we would undoubtedly have to talk about its compatibility with most audio files, avoiding downloading codecs and other annoying procedures. Besides that, it allows you to play files while they are being loaded, and its configuration options are endless, ideal for those who love customization.

The worst thing

Although it is one of the best programs in its segment, the problem we encounter and the only major weakness we can mention about this service is that it requires a powerful computer to work as it should. In other words, if you have an old PC or one that is not very powerful, we recommend you look for another player, thus avoiding the cuts or freezing of the screen that could occur with this one.

Rating

POTPlayer is one of the most powerful video players we can have installed on our computers. It is almost the first one we recommend for users with a relatively modern PC to run without problems. The quality of its reproductions and the enormous customization alternatives it offers are more than enough reasons for it to become our leading player.
