    I do not use Windows, and PotPlayer is Windows-only. That automatically means I cannot use it. I just moved completely to Linux a week ago after CoPilot appeared on my PC after an update, and remained after uninstall. I really LIKE PotPlayer, but again, now that I'm Linux-only on all 4 PCs, it's of no use to me. VLC is the next, closest alternative.
