I understand that I am not supposed to post certain links here, so I will try to keep this as general possible -- plus, the service requires an account, so I'm not sure links would be of use anyway. I am having issues with a certain platform, in which every time I try to load one of their programs, the stream will usually load the first 1 or 2 .ts chunks of the video, and then returns to the start. If I try to seek within the video, it will again load the first few chunks and then cut out and attempt to restart from the beginning.

I have tried different IPs, browsers, and even devices, and the issue persists across all of these. Some friends who have the same service have told me they are not having any issues. All other M3U8 based services (including other ones using DRM) are working fine for me. I believe the platform is run through Amazon Web Services. I have contacted the service's support, but so far they have been of no help.

Has anyone out there run in to similar issues?

Thanks. ]]> Software Playing ncmags555 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420864-DRM-Protected-M3U8-Video-Drops-After-First-Few-TS-chunks https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420838-PotPlayer-keyboard-shortcuts?goto=newpost Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:29:58 GMT Hi. I have used SMPlayer (https://www.videohelp.com/software/SMPlayer) for many years, and it is perfect for me. Plays anything and can be configured exactly as you want. But it no longer handles DVD menus. (I also have PowerDVD (https://www.videohelp.com/software/PowerDVD) (an old version), but... Hi. I have used SMPlayer for many years, and it is perfect for me. Plays anything and can be configured exactly as you want. But it no longer handles DVD menus.
(I also have PowerDVD (an old version), but it is doesn't play other video formats.)
I found Pot Player and it is ideal for everything.

But it has 246 keyboard shortcuts, most of which I don't find logical, natural or memorable (nor even useful). So I want to transfer all my carefully chosen personal SMPlayer shortcuts (about 40). But I don't want to do it one by one in the dialog box, but by converting the configuration file.
For SMPlayer it is "bitwyse.keys" (for example). For Pot Player it is in the registry at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Daum\PotPlayerMini\Main ShortCutList]

The entries are in the format "shortcut number"="keycode,0,functioncode,0" (REG_SZ strings)
So where can I find a list of the function codes and what they correspond to? ]]> Software Playing bitwyse https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420838-PotPlayer-keyboard-shortcuts
