How do I Configure Players?

In Stream Open setting up external players is entirely optional. You can define up to two players, such as VLC or POTPlayer, for seamless stream playback or choose not to configure any at all—it's completely up to you. Additionally, if you prefer a cleaner interface, unused player buttons can be hidden in the Buttons settings tab, which we'll cover next.

Steps to Configure Players:

Access Player Settings:
- Navigate to the Players tab in the Settings window.
Assign a Player:
- For Player 1 or Player 2, click the browse button next to the "Scan folder" field.
- Locate and select the player executable (e.g., vlc.exe or PotPlayerMini64.exe) on your computer.
Set a Button Caption:
- Once you've assigned the player, you'll have the option to set a Button Caption. This label will appear on the player button for easy identification.
- Type a short and meaningful caption (e.g., "VLC" or "POT").
- Click the Update Caption button to save the label.

Once configured, these player buttons will display the selected app’s icon and your chosen label. You can immediately start using them to open streams without any extra steps—just close the settings and enjoy!
