  1. I really love PotPlayer and the fact that it has huge variety of settings.

    I'm looking for a PotPlayer alternative for Linux (or preferably a cross-platform one) with certain options:
    • The skin can be hidden while playing, leaving only the video without any borders/menu. When I hover over to the top or bottom area of the player the interface shows up. (In PotPlayer: Preferences -> General -> Skin/Color Theme -> Hide main windows skin while video screen is active.) It is really convenient and feels/looks really good.
    • Ability to play streams (hls...), and almost every direct media video link. Also it eats youtube links, and plays it flawlessly.
    • Ability to move the whole player (window) with clicking on any point of the video area and dragging it.
    • The player snaps to the edges/windows.

    The last two is not that important but would be really good.

    Basically these are pretty specific things, most of other settings are common in almost every player.

    I would be really happy if anyone could help me with an alternative.

    Thanks in advanced!

  3. Thanks, I will tweak around with some players, maybe one of them can do the settings I need.

    Racer-x: I'll try Xplayer, thanks. It's not about issues, it's about certain preferences.
