The Fosshub link does work but not with any download manager

Note that XP and Vista support has been removed from the 4.9 series, so grab 4.8.8.2 while you still can

The player doesn't seem to have a stop button, which is both strange and inconvenient.

joby_toss on 2024-10-12 02:17

Indeed, no skin displays the Stop button and that is indeed strange because there is a shortcut (default Alt+Q) for that action.

ConfigUseIni=int:1
AutoUpdate=int:0

The folders $TEMP and $PLUGINSDIR may also be removed to save space.

webfork: Thanks for answering. It looks like the file I got from MajorGeeks is corrupted because I redownloaded and still didn't extract correctly. I searched for another host and now all the files extract as usual.
(Looks like I can't post vtotal urls here)

The Brazilian Portuguese is not the real language, because Files in Brazilian are not "ficheiros". They are called "Arquivos". =( I have to change to English, because Portuguese of Portugal is not my preference.

Many new changes in the latest version of MPC-HC as jazzruby said. They even changed the exe name! I propose MPC-HC has its own entry now.

MPC Homecinema now winPenPack portable app http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.1228
In this version all play list and recent files paths are normalized.

Masterbrowser on 2010-10-27 20:36

If I am correct, creating an .ini file in the application folder with the same name as the .exe file (eg. mpc-hc.ini or mpc-hc64.ini) and with the first line reading [Settings] will make the application portable. All settings will be written to the ini file and default.mpcpl in the application folder. This will prevent settings to be written to the registry or to the %appdata% folder.

Is it stealth?

Is ZiepodOneClicker.dll required?

What about ZiepodUninstaller.exe?

donald on 2014-01-30 21:54

My copy does not have either.

olliebean on 2017-03-29 21:11

This is a great piece of software, but with one major flaw: it can't cope with https. If the feed has an https url, it won't read it. If the feed is http, but the enclosures are https, it won't download them. If anyone knows of a workaround for this, I'd love to hear it.
