Portable Edition

From smplayer

Jump to: navigation, search

SMPlayer Portable Edition is a special version of SMPlayer (for Windows) which tries to not write anything outside from the directory where it is installed, so it can be used from external devices like pendrives.

You can get a package from here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=185512&package_id=284416

To install it, just uncompress it wherever you want. To run it just double click on smplayer.exe.

The package includes:

  • SMPlayer SVN r3213
  • MPlayer Sherpya-SVN-r29355 (mainly because it doesn't have fontconfig support, so it won't write any font cache around there)

To save some space I didn't include the icon themes.

What are the differences with the normal SMPlayer?

  • By default it will save the ini files in the smplayer's folder.
  • It won't try to create the smplayer home directory or the screenshot directory (C:\Documents and Settings\User\.smplayer\...)
  • It won't write anything in the Windows registry (for that reason the file associations are not available)
  • The screenshot option is disabled by default.

How to know if it's really the portable version?

Go to Help -> About SMPlayer, it should say: Version: 0.6.8 (SVN r3213) (Portable Edition)
