What's new in Zoom Player v12.5:
August 16th, 2016
New :
* The media library's TV JukeBox mode is now fully functional.
With jukebox mode enabled in a TV video category, a new list view
mode is used to display meta-data (overview, rating, duration, etc)
and a thumbnail ("still image" from an online database or a screenshot
extracted from the video itself) on the right side of the screen when
entering a folder containing media files.
For best performance, use the proper TV JukeBox mode folder structure:
Show Name\Season [Number]\MediaFiles
For example:
Game of Thrones\Season 1\Game.of.Thrones.S01E01.mp4
Game of Thrones\Season 1\Game.of.Thrones.S01E02.mp4
etc...
* New Media Icons display in the media library information area at the
bottom of the screen and in the Movie Jukebox presentation mode.
Media icons display the Format (AVI/Matroska/etc...), Video Codec
(H.264/HECV/etc...), Video Resolution (1080p/UHD 4K/etc...),
Audio Codec (DTS/AAC/etc...), Audio Channels (2.0/5.1/7.1/etc...).
Media icons are detected during the scraping process, to display the
icons you must re-scrape the content of your media library. This
is done the Media Library Category Editor (Shift+"M") or through
the media library's function page's 'scraping' menu.
* New setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
to display Media Icons in the media library information area and in
movie jukebox presentation mode.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Thumb View) that specifies whether thumbnail display should used
a dynamically visible scroll bar (suitable for tablets and touch
devices) or a fixed scroll bar (suitable for PC and Mouse input).
* The "Navigation Scrollbar Size" setting (Adv. Options / Interface /
Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) has four new possible values:
1. Dynamic Smallest
2. Dynamic Small
3. Dynamic Large
4. Dynamic Max
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Customization) to force the navigation list or thumb view display
to full width.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Keyboard) allowing you to
assign keyboard functionality to the "Insert" key when fullscreen
navigation is not in use.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Control Bar / Timeline Area)
to show thumbnail previews even if the playing media does not report
key-frame. Note that allowing media with no key frame reporting to
display thumbnails over the timeline can take much longer.
* New Setting (Media Library Category Editor / Configure) to
re-scrape a folder's thumbnail if the folder's "modified"
time-stamp changes.
* The advanced playlist control has become more powerful with integrated
sorting that does not affect the main playlist until items are moved.
* The playing media information dialog ("I" keyboard shortcut) has been
restructured and expanded to include the media's file size and date
as well as full information on the file from MediaInfoLib (MediaInfo DLL).
* The Mini color control fullscreen navigation interface will now display
the name (brightness/saturation/etc...) and not only an icon.
* Scraped poster/backdrop/still images are now downloaded concurrently
using multiple threads to speed up the online scraping process.
* The mouse's "back" and "forward" buttons now act as "back" and "enter"
when used in the fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New function and keyboard macro (Alt+Ctrl+"T") to toggle the TAG
display when playing audio files.
* New "Copy to Clipboard" button on the playing media information dialog
that copies the content of the "format" box into the clipboard.
Changes :
+ For additional security, password protected media library categories
no longer show path information on the category list screen.
+ The media library scrape icon and count now reflect the scrape queue and
processing threads and not only the queue, giving a more accurate picture
of the background scraping process.
+ The default keyboard mapping for the numbers pad has changed to make
the same button functions trigger regardless of the num-lock state.
This means the configured functionality for the arrows and insert
keys will function even if the num-lock key is enabled.
+ The advanced options dialog's 'Keyboard' page has been restructured
for enhanced clarity and the addition of more features.
+ Optimized media library disk access by improving meta-data caching.
+ Changed the default text background color in audio playback (when a
folder image is not used) to a much darker gray.
Fixes :
- The virtual keyboard did not accept physical keyboard input if the
"Use keyboard input to quickly search and enter data through navigation
interfaces" setting was disabled.
- Media files or folder flagged never to be scraped were scraped
again under some circumstances.
- Fixed a bug that caused the media duration to disappear from a media
library thumbnail.
- Selecting several files and choosing to flag them for re-scraping would
not clear the selected file count at the top-right section of the media
library interface.
- The fullscreen navigation scroll acceleration (when holding or fast
clicking the up/down buttons) now resets itself as the list loops,
preventing a crazy level of acceleration that may make the list
appear to freeze.
- The thumbnail view's "drag to scroll" was triggered after 1 pixel of
movement, making selecting a thumbnail with a single click fail
if the mouse cursor moved a bit during the click.
- Clicking a media or folder in the media library's thumb view mode and
then trying to click the close or back buttons would not work on the
first click (requiring a second click).
- The text labels on the virtual keyboard keys is now more uniform in size.
- Clicking a media library thumbnail and then trying to click the "back"
or "close" icons would fail on the first click (and work on the second).
- In the FREE version, the screen saver would over-tax the CPU (the
streamers were always used and it was impossible to turn off).
- The Advanced playlist control, Chapter editor, Scheduler, Scene-Cut,
Skin selector and Play history dialogs would not save their last
window size and position if you closed the player without first
closing the dialog.
- Clear the search box text of the advanced playlist control using the
"DEL" key would also remove any selected entries from the playlist.
- The "Hide all control bar buttons" setting stopped saving in v12.1.
- Switching directly to the Play History fullscreen navigation interface
using a keyboard or other macro from another fullscreen navigation
interface would not update the title area.
- The internal screen saver would still activate even after calling
functions when using the TCP/IP command & control API.
- Folders marked not to be scraped were still being scraped if no online
database scrapers were specified for the media library category.
- Setting the left mouse button to open the context menu didn't work.
