What's new?
Version 14.3.0 - No change date
★ You can now perform sorting (by Listeners, Name, BitRate & Format) in the SHOUTcast station browser dialog.
● When the up/down arrow keys are assigned to next/previous chapter or track, the up/down keys were not set logically, now pressing down will go to the next track/chapter and pressing up will go to the previous track/chapter.
● Opening a YouTube channel with no internet connection now shows a refresh option instead of a message that the category is empty.
● Using the 'Open subtitle file' to add a subtitle to the currently playing media now initializes the file selection dialog to open in the playing media's folder.
● The stream selection fullscreen navigation interface will no longer automatically close when switching between tracks.
● You can now open the stream selection fullscreen navigation interface even if no media is currently playing.
➜ Due to a language file that was not updated in version 14.2, the titles on navigation interfaces showed the wrong title.
➜ Pressing the "Load More" button in media library categories with a plugin capable of showing multiple pages (e.g. YouTube) would cause the "refresh" option to disappear if there were no more media to list.
➜ The RSS feed media library plugin was not showing the correct publishing dates for some RSS feed (e.g. YouTube RSS).
➜ Trying to load a playlist through the Open URL (Shift+"U") dialog failed with an error message.
➜ The media library playlist plugin did not function properly under some conditions, reporting an empty category.
➜ The media library playlist plugin did not use a clean category name when a playlist URL was used instead of an actual file.

What's new in Zoom Player v14.2:
★ New "Favorites" fullscreen navigation interface. Any media can be added to the favorites list through the media library or file browsing navigational interfaces.
Please note that this change required resetting the "Navigation interfaces on main navigator" feature to it's default value (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation).
★ When using the "Open URL" function, a new "Clear playlist" checkbox is now available (previously the playlist was always cleared).
★ With LAV Filters v0.71, a D3D11 hardware decoding mode has been added. You can instruct LAV to use this mode automatically by setting the option under "Adv. Options / Playback / Video".
● The "Play History database may be corrupted" message will no longer appear unless the play history file is actually corrupted.
● You can now set the "Retain Media Playback History for" value to 99999 days (~2738 years), up from the original 9999 days (~27 years), just in case one of you finds immortality and wished to use Zoom Player forever.
● The torrents plugin should now shutdown a little faster if Zoom Player closes while the plugin was fetching an updated file list.
➜ Fixed a bug that prevented the previously active audio track from being restored when re-playing a video with multiple audio tracks.
➜ Opening a playlist from navigation interfaces loaded the playlist but did not automatically start playing it.
➜ The fullscreen navigation's text Anti-Aliasing setting was being reset after restarting the player.
➜ Bug Fixes.
    
    
What's new in Zoom Player v14.1:
★ Automatic support for native Windows 7-10 media library folder structure (previously only the more basic Windows XP-Vista library structure was supported).
★ New setting (Adv. Options / File Format Association / File Extensions" to instruct Zoom Player to process ".m3u8" playlists.
This setting is disabled by default as it can cause conflicts with services that require DirectShow filters to process this type of playlist format.
★ New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /  File Tracker) to specify the download tracking plugins refresh rate.
This value only affects the media library and file browsing navigation interfaces, the download tracking navigation interface refreshes at a higher rate automatically.
Please note that using a low number (under 10 seconds) may impact performance when tracking large file lists (over 10,000 entries).
★ New setting on the Torrents download & tracking plugin to prevent it from passing file entries to Zoom Player that do not actually exist on the disk drive.  This setting is off by default but can increase performance when dealing with a large number of torrents that were only partially downloaded.
★ New setting on the Torrents download & tracking plugin to prevent it from passing file entries to Zoom Player that are marked as "do not download". This setting is off by default.
Enabling this setting can reduce some computations and speed up the listing process but at the same time it prevents you from later  changing the download priority on these files.
★ New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to enable Zoom Player's DSP filter only for visualizations.
★ New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to set an initial audio re-synchronization value for visualizations (Zoom Player's DSP filter is required for this setting to function).
★ The last play position is now drawn over the thumbnail in TV Jukebox mode.
● Windows 10 creators edition changed how fonts are rendered by enabling clear-type rendering at higher resolutions. Clear-type is a lot slower to draw and at resolutions above 1080p causes severe performance degradation in Zoom Player's fullscreen navigation interfaces.
Previously, to solve this issue, you could set Zoom Player to override windows' font rendering.  From this version, the setting is enabled by default (you can still change it manually under "Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization").
● Zoom Player's default window size for the onyx skin was changed to present a default video size of 960x540 (up from the previous 604x340) and for the alba skin, the default video size was changed to 1280x720.
● You can now press the escape key to cancel a 'play all files in folder' feature mid-action.  Accidentally playing an entire drive could have caused Zoom Player to appear unresponsive.
● You can now press any navigation key to cancel a 'play all files in folder' feature mid-action.
● The download plugins synchronization has been completely rewritten, and should no longer cause any user interface slow-downs.
● The torrents plugin has been greatly optimized, working much faster with large file lists.
● The download fullscreen navigation interface should scroll much smoothly when dealing with a large number of files.
● The YouTube (Channel/Search/Trending), Playlist and RSS Feed media library plugins have been optimized for greater performance.
● Optimized core string handling routines, improving script parsing (e.g. Skin parsing) and other areas.
● Media Library plugin result entries now display the media's title instead of the file name or URL in list mode (previously the title only showed in thumbnail mode).
● A 'processing, please hold ...' message now appear when it takes Zoom Player longer to close due to background tasks (media scraping, download plugin sync) still being active.
● Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode while the media library is opened should be cleaner and faster (less visual junk in the transition).

➜ Opening the media library, especially on 4K displays showed a low resolution image of the media library for a split second before displaying the full resolution version.
The double-draw event caused both the described visual glitch as well as a performance penality.
➜ Resizing the Zoom Player window while the media library was visible in thumbnail mode could cause the thumbnails to display in the wrong size.
➜ Selecting a custom Audio Renderer for audio visualizations did not work well (the wrong audio renderer was used at times).
➜ Loading a text file would not display the file name in the title area.
➜ Using the Stop function to close the playing media did not work if the playing media was a text file.
➜ Fixed a scraping bug where the ".nfo" file detection algorithm would fail with files/folders names containing unicode characters.
➜ Fixed a possible crash that would trigger sometimes on an initial run after a fresh install.
➜ Fixed a crash when playing a live video stream using MadVR as the video renderer and trying to use the pause button on the control bar.
➜ Opening the file browsing and download manager fullscreen navigation interfaces will no longer freeze for two seconds if the Torrents download plugin is enabled and qBittorrent isn't running.
➜ Opening the file browsing and download manager fullscreen navigation interfaces will no longer freeze for long periods if qBittorrent is seeding many torrents.
➜ The media library should no longer freeze for a few seconds when retrieving large file lists from qBittorrent using the Torrents plugin.
➜ The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) did not show up when playing in fullscreen on a secondary monitor.
➜ The torrents download plugin was not recognizing a file's download priority correctly after the latest qBittorrent release.
➜ The torrents download plugin was listing files returned by qBittorrent but no longer existing on the disk drive in the root folder instead of their (no longer existing) path.
➜ The currently selected playlist editor entries would lose their selection if a playlist update was triggered after the listed media's duration has been scraped.
➜ Trying to play a streaming media URL that contained trailing spaces would fail.  Trailing spaces are now trimmed (you can still use encoded space characters in the URL).
➜ The Lock-UI (user interface) feature used to prevent accidental clicks did not block some click and double-click actions.
➜ The Dolby Digital Plus audio format was not being displayed with an icon on the TV and Movie jukebox screens.
➜ The play position tool-tip was sometimes displayed in the wrong screen position on multi-monitor displays.
➜ MIDI audio playback should be more reliable.
➜ The media library's playlist plugin no longer shows an invalid duration value if the playlist entry has no duration.

What's new in Zoom Player v14:
★ New Download & Tracking plugin API has been developed.
The API specifies which file extensions or URL sub-string matches to pass to the Download & Tracking API instead of trying to play.
This information is specified under:
Adv. Options / File Format Association / File Extensions : Download
The API can be used create a plugin that integrate with 3rd party download software or directly download the content itself.
The tracking portion of the API shows the currently download state and whether there's a good chance the download is currently playable.
This information is displayed in the media library, file browsing and download tracking fullscreen navigation interfaces.
★ The download tracking navigation interface has been enhanced with the ability to predict when you can begin playing a media file while it is still downloading.
When using the new Torrents plugin, the prediction is based on the number of torrent pieces that have successfully downloaded from the beginning and end of the media file.
By default this is 2% from the beginning of the file and 1% from the end.
The Torrents plugin requires qBittorrent version 4 or newer to work.
qBittorrent is now available to download through the Install Center.
A quick slideshow demonstrating how to use the Torrents plugin:

★ New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / History) to prevent files or URLs from being saved to the play history.  All you need to do is specify a partial string, for example "\some folder name\" or "someurl.org".
★ New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / History) to hide files or URLs from being displayed in the play history dialogs while still remember the last playback position, volume, subtitle track, etc.  All you need to do is specify a partial string, for example
"\some folder name\" or "someurl.org".
★ New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls) to disable seeking controls when playing files or URLs containing a specified path or text.
★ New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to override the audio renderer when playing with visualization.
This allows you to use the "DC-Crossfading Audio Renderer" to support a volume fading effect on Start/End/Play/Stop/Seek only when playing with visualizations. This is similar to how WinAmp fades audio between tracks.
Download the DC-Crossfading Audio Renderer here:
(http://www.dsp-worx.de/?n=14)
★ New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation) to display all navigation interfaces on a secondary monitor.
★ New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls) that controls whether Zoom Player switches to the next/previous track when using next/previous chapter function on a media that does not contain chapters. This setting is enabled by default.

★ New (optional) control bar button to open/hide the fullscreen stream selection navigation interface.
★ New "exSetAudTrack" extended function that sets the current audio track.
★ New "exSetSubTrack" extended function that sets the current subtitle track.
● The media library "TheMovieDB" plugin's Movie/TV detection accuracy has increased by cropping out more undesired key-words from file/folder names, using a fuzzy search algorithm to better detect non-exact movie names matches and preferring a release year with a partial name match to an exact name match with a mismatched release date.
● The internal image decoder (JPEG/GIF/PNG/BMP) is now capable of downloading and displaying images directly from web servers (e.g. a playlist full of image URLs).
● Using the "open streaming link" or "open streaming link from keyboard" functions will now relay downloadable URLs to any matching download plugin (for example .torrent/magnet links) without affecting the current playback.
● The media library 'RSS Feed' plugin now caps the maximum cached entries to 2000 and the description length to 3500 characters.  Otherwise, over time the RSS plugin data would become too large and would stop displaying.
● The playlist fullscreen navigation interface now draws a playing icon next to the currently playing track.
● The YouTube Search and Trending media library plugins will now use a search/trending thumbnail when creating new categories.
This change does not apply to previously created categories.
The new images can be manually assigned using the category configuration dialog.
By default the new images are located here using Windows 32bit:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom Player\MediaNavPlugins\YouTube_Search.jpg"
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom Player\MediaNavPlugins\YouTube_Trending.jpg"
And here using Windows 64bit:
"c:\Program Files\Zoom Player\MediaNavPlugins\YouTube_Search.jpg"
"c:\Program Files\Zoom Player\MediaNavPlugins\YouTube_Trending.jpg"
● The new version update notification will now include a condensed highlight list of what changed in the latest version (will only appear in the next version released after this one).
● The "Scrape folder thumbnails by using the name of the first video file within the folder instead of the folder name" media library category setting now works better in TV Jukebox mode by scraping only for the show name, no longer scraping season/episode numbers from the file name.
● Pruning the play history (using the button) no longer erases URL entries, only local files that were erased from the disk drive.
● The thumbnail and meta-data cache folder is now cleared once a week instead of on every exit, improving the time it takes Zoom Player to close.
● Many of the main navigation icons were polished to give the default navigation theme a more consistent look.
● The "unknown" icon has been updated to better suit the UX design.
● The media library plugin API can now accept local-file thumbnails when creating new categories.

➜ Fixed a major issue with random play that would cause it to stop working after the entire playlist has been finished playing one time.

➜ Fixed a crash when trying to load a malformed play history cache file.
➜ The Zoom Player Install Center and Zoom Player itself were out of sync, triggering a new components update notification to appear within 2 weeks after running the Instal Center.
➜ Registry entries were not being saved/loaded properly when running Zoom Player in Windows Vista compatibility mode (and possibly other compatibility modes).  This of course lead to instability.
➜ When enabling the "Seek to key-frames when using LAV Video decoder (faster, less accurate seeking)" setting, some file handles were not properly closed, preventing the playing media from being erased until Zoom Player was closed.
➜ The key-mapping editor's search feature did not work.
➜ Fixed a freeze triggered by the media library's 'RSS Feed' plugin on certain RSS feeds that used an ASCII #13 as a line break.

➜ The "stay on top" setting would stop functioning when exiting fullscreen mode with the playlist editor visible.
➜ The Windows Picture Library and Music Library (system folders) may not have displayed with the correct thumbnail layout in the media library.
➜ The controlbar's volume pop-up slider did not appear in the correct position under some circumstances.

➜ Wrong duration displayed in the playlist when using Windows Media Player's ActiveX control to play streaming media.
➜ Double-clicking a station list entry to begin playback while the media library was opened could trigger a playback of whatever was highlighted in the media library instead of the station list entry.
➜ Hiding the "Media Scanner" and "Remove Category Folder(s)" from the media library's category listing would break keyboard quick search from working on the last category listed.
➜ In some cases, when using the "Media Close Delay" feature, the delay would be twice as long as the specified value.
➜ Playback of ASX playlists did not work.
➜ With some language packs, the text for the station manager's left column would cut-off.
➜ Debug logs related to kinetic scrolling were being saved by the non-debug version.
➜ The Double-Click function did not work when clicking audio visualizations.
➜ The default value for the new "Navigation on Monitor" setting was accidentally set to as fullscreen on a the first monitor instead of the current monitor (within the window or fullscreen).
➜ Fixed a crash when trying to close the media library just as it was being opened.
➜ Fixed a bug in the smart play source filter "new profile" dialog which caused the "use with the following URLs" entries to be lost when pressing smart play's auto-configure button.
➜ The OSD clock is now closed when the options dialog is open as it caused other windowed opened through the options dialog to hide behind the options dialog window.
➜ Fixed a few small memory leaks.
