You can capture screenshots using Ctrl + C. PotPlayer can be set to stay on top of other windows. That should be enough for basic playback, but there are a ton of other shortcuts, you can view them by right-clicking anywhere in the player pane > About > Keyboard Shortcuts. Increase or decrease the volume with the Up and Down arrow keys. Rewind or fast-forward with the Left and Right arrow keys. Use the Space bar to pause, play the media. Want to change the window size quickly? Tap the number keys from 1-4 to switch between 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x and 2x. I remembered most of the keyboard shortcuts from my previous time with it (subtitle delay, adjusting the window size, volume, brightness, contrast, etc). One of my favorite features in PotPlayer is that it remembers the file playback position by default, even for online videos. Maybe it's an issue with MPC's settings, but I still prefer it over anything else. MPV and PotPlayer on the other hand were able to handle all of them without any hiccups. On a side note, MPC failed to play the audio in a couple of MKV videos (which I had downloaded from streaming services using IDM), but was able to play the rest. And the player supports YouTube playlists too which is pretty cool. Hit Ctrl + U and paste the URL to begin watching the online video. In addition to local media, PotPlayer can be used to play streaming content from services like YouTube. That's a lot of formats, and these work fine without the additional codec that it recommends.

The larger pane on the left is the video player, while the right pane is a sidebar that has 2 tabs, one for the built-in file browser, while the other is the playlist pane. PotPlayer's interface remains the same as it was many years ago, it has a dark theme and 2 panes. At the final step, the setup offers to install an additional codec called OpenCodec, I recommend you to uncheck the option, because the player's default codec is more than capable of playing anything you throw at it. In the next step, you are offered the option to associate file types with PotPlayer. Aside from that, the rest of the EULA seems to be okay. There is also some random telemetry collection clause, but it seems to be related to the computer's hardware, video playing capabilities. I think it is about the broadcast feature, which I couldn't get that to work or even find an option to disable. The EULA is displayed first, and it has an odd relay clause. So, you should get your copy from the official page. This is the biggest issue with the program, as there is a similar site that appears on Search results (has Daumpotplayer in the URL), and that one is apparently a fake website. Note: The official website of PotPlayer is.
Here are the screenshots which I took before installing the media player. VirusTotal gave the set up a clean record, except for ClamWin which said it has a generic malware.
I can confirm that the current version (I tested 201209 v7) does not contain options for installing third-party software. There was only one way to find out, and I finally decided to give PotPlayer another chance. So, I went through many reddit threads and other forums, where users reported that the latest versions of the video player are clean.
Despite my history with it, I wanted to reassure myself that it was safe. When Martin asked me to take a look at PotPlayer recently, I told him I was concerned about the program's recent issues.
POTPLAYER INSTALL ADDITIONAL CODEC SOFTWARE
Later, I came to know that PotPlayer had started shipping adware with options to install third-party software like Opera, and more recently the inclusion of Avast's installer, among other issues. I ditched PotPlayer after a few years, because MPC seemed to be a lighter alternative at least on my old computer.
