I looked into the settings -> Filter Control -> Video Decoder -> HEVC: clicked the three dots. Indeed, a "No HEVC support" pop-up appeared when trying to play a HEVC mkv-video. My Avira antivirus blocked something during update.ĭownloaded latest version from here (Videohelp software), disabled Avira's real time protection temporarily and installation went smooth. Actually, a strange thing when my Potplayer did the auto-update. I just tried Potplayer a few minutes ago. Once a year I rollout the latest version of Windows which will include the latest version of each program, and that's only after several months of testing, but other than that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Personally, with the exception of Security patches, I don't upgrade software very often. Licensing must be cheap because if you have a M$ Store account you can still get the codecs for free. I have also re-enabled the HEVC video support via DISM that Microsoft in their wisdom (cough) decided to remove from 1709 upwards. So HEVC is not free/GPL of any sort, so like bluray decoding - it's licensed and requires royalties? Bummer! Why on earth would you disable such I do have lav filters installed, but only because it's installed for AVStoDVD, and I did installed the OpenCodecs as part of the potplayer installation, but apart from that I don't install any codec packs.
I was just curious when I read that HEVC, which is becoming more prevalent by the day, was disabled in a player that touts itself as supporting the latest technologies. I actually don't use PotPlayer anymore at all since they added the malware to the installer. The last version I used had the occational hang and sync issue but was pretty reliable.
