    Recently I installed a newer version of Plotplayer on a new computer. I had been using a much older version from many years ago on an older computer.

    1. It appears to me that the character sizes on screen (bottom control and right for playlists) are smaller than in the past and are difficult for me to read while using this to play video on my TV (I'm farther away than a computer screen). Is there a way to increase the size of the characters for easier reading?

    2. The older version of Potplayer on my older computer had the ability (button) to advance to the next video in a play list near the control functions in the lower left hand corner (near play, stop, pause, .. ). Is it possible to put/add this in to current versions of the program by making a choice in a menu somewhere?

  2. Potplayer is portable. Just copy its folder from the old computer to the new computer. Run the application manually the first time, go to preferences, and set up file associations.

    The next file play is done by right mouse click on double triangle >> button or Pgdn on keyboard. The previous file is if you click on << by right mouse button or Pgup on keyboard.
    Which characters have you in mind ? If when you right click on screen -> menu, (newest version (i think it is beta) has it big enough) then preference, dialog box and then check font size and change size from 9 to anything bigger.
    Change font size for playlist is in preference->Playback->playlist and there you can change fonts and size of fonts as in previous case.

    Or you can download different skin f.e. here http://daumpotplayer.com/category/skins/ and you can have classical icons on the bottom f.e. BlackBox skin.
    Add 2 AFAIK it is not posible. Just try different skin.

    Or check the version number in the old potplayer(Right click and About) and download from https://www.videohelp.com/software/PotPlayer/old-versions#download

    But it might be better to find another skin for the newer versions as Bernix mentions.

    O/S: Win 7 Pro
    PotPlayer Version: 1.7.7145 64bit
    Using PotPlayer to Stream via OBS Studio 20.1.3 64bit and when I right-click on the video output screen of PotPlayer, the menus
    show on my stream. Is there some way to turn this off.
    Thanks
