ZOOM PLAYER 16 Free Released
#1
https://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_whatsnew.shtml              What's new in Zoom Player v16:


  First a couple of notices :

  ! This version includes many enhancements throughout the fullscreen
    navigation interface. If you previously purchased Zoom Player's
    4K navigation skin pack and have not received links to download the
    updated version by email,
    contact Booga (https://reddit.com/user/Boogafreak), my helpful
    support person with a DM and he'll take care of you.

    Please include the purchase ID number in your request to speed up
    the process.

  ! If you do not own the more expensive lifetime serial number or activation
    key, and you've purchased Zoom Player within the last 12 months, you are
    eligible to receive a free upgrade to v16!
   
    We have already sent you an email with new serial, but if for some reason
    you did not receive it (after checking spam and other folders),
    please contact Booga (https://reddit.com/user/Boogafreak).

 
  And now for the good stuff:

  * Optimized drawing of media library category thumbnails, up-to 43% faster.

  * Optimized drawing of media library media thumbnails, up-to 38% faster.

  * Optimized the time it takes to open the media library, in some cases
    up-to 50% faster.

  * Optimized loading of the playcache file by up-to 17%, which should help
    Zoom Player open faster when storing play history over a long duration.

  * Rewrote scroll update polling to improve smoothness when scrolling within
    the media library's thumbnail view.

  * Due to a bug fix (see below) and optimizations to the code, Zoom Player
    should close a little bit faster.

  * Media library folder based categories are now sorted on a per-folder
    basis. When entering a folder for the first time, it will always start
    sorted by name, but any change to the sorting mode will now persist
    without affecting other folders in the category.

  * The media library category editor has been restructured. New categories
    are no longer automatically sorted in alphabetical order and instead
    always added to the bottom of the category list. New "Move up" and
    "Move down" buttons now allow you to manually re-order categories.

  * The media library category editor can now be set to show "All"
    categories to allow sorting across category types.

  * You can now sort the media library in Random order.

  * You can now sort the media library by "Remaining Play Time" based on a
    percentage of the media's remaining play remaining.

  * New "Preferred audio device cycle list" (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio)
    that allows you to select your preferred audio renderers and quickly
    switch between them".

  * New Shift+"A" keyboard macro that switches between audio rendering devices
    on the Preferred audio device cycle list".

  * TheMovieDB.org's media scraper is now capable of scraping U.S.
    Movie (G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17) and TV (TV-Y/TV-Y7/TV-G/TV-PG/TV-14/TV-MA)
    content rating. The content rating appears as an icon next to the
    other codec/format icons appearing in jukebox mode.

    You will need to re-scrape your media in order to see content rating
    on previously scraped media.

  * TheMovieDB.org's media scraper's configuration can now be set to
    scrape for "no language" content.

  * When going up to the base folder in the file browsing fullscreen
    navigation interface, there is now a "Return to path list" option
    to make navigation more intuitive.

  * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
    Customization) to hide the media library's meta-data and category
    filter sections, using the extra space to display more media.

  * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) that controls whether
    erasing files to the recycle bin also removes their record from the
    play history.

  * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) that uses the fullscreen navigation
    UI to confirm when deleting the currently playing file.

  * New (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization)
    "Show play position bar on list icons with the this color" setting
    (disabled by default)

  * New (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
    "Show Previously Played counter in path area" setting that displays the
    number of yet to be played media within the current media library folder
    next to the folder's path (disabled by default).

  * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
    to control whether opening the media library should always try to show
    the currently playing file. With this setting disabled, the currently
    playing file would only show once each time a file is played and the
    media library is opened.

  * New YouTube Playlist media library plugin which allows you to easily
    import YouTube playlists as Zoom Player media library categories.

  * New network keep-alive feature (Adv. Options / Playback Files & Paths)
    that instructs Zoom Player to access the specified paths to make sure a
    network share does not disconnect for inactivity.

  * You can now refresh a media library category with a new "Refresh" button
    to update the display if the folder content was changed in the background.

  * The "Start player in" setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size)
    has been split to provide a more granular control of how the player should
    start. Please note that this change required resetting this setting to
    it's default value.

  * When going up to the base folder in a media library file list view, there
    is now a "Return to categories" option to make navigation more intuitive.

  * Zoom Player's Event Ghost plugin has been updated to support all the
    latest Zoom Player functions:
    http://www.eventghost.net/forum/viewtopi...891#p55891

  * The navigation skinning engine has been enhanced to add more granular
    support for the path area's icons.

  * Pressing the media library's refresh button will also refresh the scraped
    images, reflecting any manual changes to poster images.

  + The "Auto-select last viewed file/folder on entering a folder" setting now
    works better when used in combination with the "Nav-Enter on media library
    category list opens the category at the root folder" setting.

  + When both "Auto-select last viewed file/folder on entering a folder" and
    "Nav-Enter on media library category list opens the category at the root
    folder" settings are enabled, entering a category will highlight the
    folder containing the last played file.

  + Erasing files/folders from the media library will now erase their scraped
    meta-data/thumbnail cache from the "MediaCache" folder.

  + Using the "/LASTNAV" and "/MAINNAV" command line parameters no longer
    switches the user interface to fullscreen automatically, you must now
    add the "/F" parameter to maintain the same functionality.

  + Clicking the media library's "<" button now respects the "Nav-Left goes
    up a folder before entering the Drive/Category list" setting.

  + The "Show system library folders in the Media Library Navigator" setting
    has been removed and replaced by a new button in the media library category
    editor that lets you add the windows library folders with a single click.
    With this change, you are now able to easily customize the windows
    library folders.

  + The play history's "Erase" entries has been renamed to "Remove from Play
    History" to make it clearer the files themselves are not touched.

  + Switching to the 'system' sub-menu in the main fullscreen navigation
    interface will now switch the title from 'main' to 'system'.

  + When completing playback of a media, the play history dialog and
    fullscreen navigation interfaces will no longer show a zero position or
    no position at all and will instead show the media's duration to signify
    the media has been played all the way through.

  + You can now use the Home/End keys within the media library fullscreen
    navigation interface's category filter section to access the top/bottom
    of the category list.

  + Removing the currently playing media from play history will now close
    the playing media.

  + The fullscreen information navigation interface now splits long
    information into multiple lines.

  + For clarity, the media library's "Select / Unselect" and multiple
    selection functions have been split into two separate entries.

  + Opus audio duration is now retrieved when used with an ".ogg" container.

  + Opus audio duration is now retrieved by default when adding ".opus" files
    to the playlist. For existing Zoom Player users, to enable this feature
    you must click the "default" button next to the "Auto-Get Duration"
    section of the Advanced Options' "File Extension" page.

  + APE audio duration is now retrieved by default when adding ".ape" files
    to the playlist. For existing Zoom Player users, to enable this feature
    you must click the "default" button next to the "Auto-Get Duration"
    section of the Advanced Options' "File Extension" page.

  - The caching mechanism for media library category thumbnail caching was
    mostly broken, not actually caching most of the thumbnails. With this
    fix, subsequently browsing the category list should be much snappier.

  - Scraping meta-data for TV series where the folder contained an ".nfo" file
    didn't support IMDB IDs longer than 7 digits.

  - Scraping meta-data for TV series where the folder contained an ".nfo" file
    with an IMDB URL didn't write the IMDB id into the meta-data cache.

  - The RSS feed media library plugin wont show duplicate entries if the server
    moves from http:// to https:// links.  However, old entries that were
    already downloaded before this fix may remain as duplicates.

  - Enabling 'Force the navigation list or thumb view display to full width'
    caused cosmetic issues in the equalizer fullscreen navigation interface.

  - Restoring after minimizing the user interface from fullscreen mode, no
    longer restores the user interface to windowed mode instead of fullscreen.

  - Fixed a freeze when playing JPEG files with malformed exif headers.

  - Renaming files/folder in the media library no longer causes the play
    position to be forgotten and the media no longer requires a re-scrape
    operation.

  - The YouTube Channel media library plugin now support YouTube channels that
    use a slightly different URL structure.
    For example "https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFighterAndTheKid/videos".
    It will not work 100% of the time as google didn't release an API call
    to translate custom channel names to a channel ID required to get a 100%
    reliable result. For more information, see:
    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/174903934
   
  - The YouTube Media Library plugins did not take into account time-zone
    and daylight saving differences when displaying a video's publish time.

  - Clicking the 'show volume bar' button on the control bar showed
    the volume bar in a slightly-off position.

  - The Adjust Image fullscreen navigation interface did not list the
    active Aspect Ratio correctly.

  - The fullscreen information navigation interface did not display in the
    correct width under some conditions.

  - The full path displayed in the play history fullscreen navigation
    interface is now correctly truncated to more clearly display long
    file names.

  - Disabling the "Flash active thumbnail on navigation actions" setting,
    prevented the media library thumbnail view from updating when resizing
    the screen and until a navigation action was triggered.

  - Network paths specified in the 'File Browser "Network / Disk" mapping'
    setting no longer allow you to 'folder-up' once reaching the specified
    base path.

  - Disabling the "Flash active thumbnail on navigation actions" setting,
    at times prevented the media library thumbnail view from updating when
    entering categories.

  - Switching to audio mode with calibration patterns visible didn't hide
    the patterns, messing up the UI.

  - When opening the media library's functions page in an empty category, a
    cosmetic glitch showing a "-2 B" size would appear in the file size area.

  - Fixed a few cosmetic issues with residue text remaining on-screen after
    existing the media library's function menu.

  - When the current monitor used a high-DPI setting, the icon on confirmation
    /warning/information dialogs appeared cropped.

  - Skin tinting did not affect confirmation/warning/information dialogs.

  - The play position bar in the media library's TV jukebox mode was not
    properly integrated when the thumbnail frame used round corners like
    in the Sunset skin.

  - The file browser fullscreen navigation interface suffered some issues when
    working with empty drives/root folders.
   
  - Fixed multiple issues when trying to erase network shared folders from
    within the file browsing fullscreen navigation interface:
    1. Currently playing file did not close.
    2. File was not removed from play history.

  - The main fullscreen navigation interface's 'system' sub-menu did not show
    relevant icons, only showing the system icon.

  - The Advanced Options dialog's "Help / Export" button's pop-up menu did not
    draw correctly on high-DPI displays.

  - The playlist's "Open item folder", "Save playing file" and
    "Rename/Move file" features did not work with network paths.

  - Deleting all play history entries could leave some entries listed in the
    dialog until the dialog was closed and reopened.

  - Trying to show a fullscreen navigation interface while Zoom Player is
    minimized now restores Zoom Player's window.

  - The Play History and Play History fullscreen navigation interfaces
    will now display the play position for the currently playing file
    correctly.

  - Creating folder using the file browsing fullscreen navigation interface
    failed when used under a network path.

  - Under some conditions, Zoom Player's media cache folder containing
    scraped metadata and images (thumbnails, posters, backdrops) would
    prune every time you tried closing Zoom Player, instead of once
    per week.

  - Fixed several glitches related to the media library's mini-menu accessible
    through a long mouse click on a thumbnail.

  - Clicking the 'back' button in the media library's movie poster view and
    then using the keyboard to move the active thumb left would exist the
    category entirely.

  - The main fullscreen navigation interface's system menu used a different
    brightness value compared to the home menu.

  - Under some conditions, using the options dialog to customize the media
    library while a media was loaded would switch the category/path.

  - You could not erase the currently playing media file from within Zoom
    Player if the media was loaded from an external source (e.g. explorer)
    over a network shared path.             https://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml        ZOOM PLAYER

Zoom Player v17.1 beta 1:

Quote:Announcing Zoom Player v17.1 beta 1:
* New "Display unwatched counter on TV Show category folders" setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Thumbnail Cust.) that counts the number of unwatched episodes in "TV Show" categories and displays the count in a corner on the folder's thumbnail.
* Full customization for the TV Show unwatched counter:
1. Size (relative to thumbnail)
2. Margins (relative to Size)
3. Font Color
4. Background Color
+ If you previously used a download tracking plugin, you must now re-enable it. Plugins were previously enabled by default which could have caused delays when exiting Zoom Player.
+ Having ZP set to automatically show the media library when opening will no longer show the media library if a media was set to load using the command line.
+ Zoom Player will no longer display the default background image if a media is set to load via command line, removing the slight flicker of the image and slightly speeding up load time.
- Setting Zoom Player to pre-load fullscreen navigation graphics while trying to play a media from command line could cause ZP to freeze.
- When taking a screenshot of the playing video (Alt+F), the generated filename included a wrong position value (just the file name, the image was taken from the correct position).
- The "Stop function closes streaming media (instead of just stopping)" setting was accidentally applied to every playing media and not only live streams.
- Fixed a bug that would break URL links in the active playlist when closing and then re-opening Zoom Player.

* Two new Pixel Shader scripts you can use with MadVR as the video renderer to flip the video both horizontally and vertically.
