2 - The filename bootstrapper described the behavior of the script content. You can find out the meaning either by google or by looking at the first lines in the script (more stuff installed) - I didn't know that either and thought it might have something to do with the CSS framework, e.g. new design ^^
You're also free to choose the latest version for your system on sourceforge instead of clicking the green download button. All extra stuffs like yt-dlp and ffmpeg are not wrong to have and it's also by default not selected if u let the time running out.
3 - There are many people out there who don't use a numpad or have a laptop without numpads. It also have to check if numpad is even switched on otherwise it will use the arrow keys as input.
You can always rerun the script and delete everything if something goes wrong as everything will only be saved in the current directory after installation. You will find the same updater.ps1 in your installer directory.
I agree that the 9 second timeout feature is annoying. I prefer to confirm it after entering the key... bootstrapper.zip default selection on sourceforge was last updated in 2022. I don't think anything will change as everything has been working. I have tested it myself.
We're talking about an original cli media player that you can simply download and install (file extensions) with a script. This has worked for years without any major problems. Maybe someone here would like to change that by contributing and "fix" the little points out.
I hope it helps a bit to understand it. Maybe you got it already running in the meantime :3
1) When I download the latest version from Sourceforge from the download button and run it from the bat file, it extracts the files directly to the desktop without creating any folders. Create folders for files before the software downloads them.
2) Change the .bat and .zip file names to “automatic downloader”. Because it is not clear that it is a download assistant.
3) .bat file and when I use the numbers on the right it gives this error, when I use the numbers on the top it does not. Please enter valid input key. 'timeout' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Press any key to continue . . .
