Love the player, but what has happened to the lack of audio choices when pasting URL's from YouTube that contain 5.1 audio? I miss this feature and have to use a downloader to grab the files with 5.1 audio. Please fix, as this vital addition has been missing for months now xD

A longtime MPC-HC user, I switched to PotPlayer yrs ago. It's consistently been the best player I've ever used, and I look. Checking new players and updates of old. Both paid and free. IMO, nothing ever compares.
Constantly updated. Works out of the box. Loaded with customizable features to suit your needs, without being overly complicated or having to make compromises.
