http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_whatsnew.shtml --- What's new in Zoom Player v12.6:
* New Advanced Options page that controls Zoom Player's behavior when
a monitor is attached or detached, when Windows 10's tablet mode
is enabled or disabled and when a 2 in 1 laptop's screen is
docked or undocked.
Each of these mode changes can be assigned a different set of actions
and custom functions, even if the mode changed while Zoom Player was
not running (optional).
* New "Switch to TV JukeBox list view without having the parent folder
scraped first" media library category setting. This setting is enabled
by default on new categories and I recommend manually enabling this
setting on your pre-existing TV JukeBox categories.
* The last play position is now displayed on media library thumbnails for
audio and video files next to the media's duration (only works with
newly played media).
* New "/CBar" command line parameter to automatically show the control bar
when starting Zoom Player.
* The playing media's Title (if one exists) is now displayed in
Zoom Player's playing item text and in the timeline area if showing
file names in the timeline is enabled.
* The skin installation process has become simpler with the addition of
a new "Install Skin" button on the skin selection dialog.
* Zoom Player can now extract Album art and meta-data from ".M4A" and
possibly other audio formats.
* The open URL dialog now remembers the last visited URL and keeps a history
of the last 10 URLs.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Thumb View) to specify the number of threads to use while scraping.
If your operating system drive ("C:") is mechanical, it may require
lowering the thread count to "1" to prevent the user interface from
being overly affected by the disk writes.
* New "Darken thumbnail background" setting (Adv. Options / Interface /
Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View) to override's a skin-script parameter
that decide if to draw a dark rectangle behind a thumbnail.
* New "Darken thumbnail text background" setting (Adv. Options / Interface /
Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View) to override's a skin-script parameter
that decide if to draw a dark rectangle behind a thumbnail's text.
* The ".pls" playlist format is now supported for non-shoutcast streams
and files with additional support for displaying file/stream titles.
* New right-click "Copy" menu that copies the options search dialog's
selected entry into the windows clipboard.
* New "Scrape folder thumbnails by using the name of the first video file
within the folder instead of the folder name" media library category
setting.
* You can now instruct the media library TheMovieDB.org's scraper to
ignore part of a file or folder name by using the "^" character,
for example "Moonrise Kingdom^(1.85)" would ignore the "(1.85)"
portion of the file/folder name, allowing you to add special
tags to the file/folder name without breaking scraping.
* New "ThumbActiveHighlightMode" skin script variable that controls whether
the media library's thumbnail highlight is drawn with the aspect ratio of
the thumbnail or as a fixed-size frame around the thumbnail as well as
new modes to draw a tiled highlight overlay.
+ TheMovieDB.org's scraper plug-in has been enhanced with ".nfo" hinting
for TV content and improved naming convention detection.
+ The media library's "Scrape for parent folder name when file name scraping
using metadata scrapers fails" category setting is now automatically
disabled when JukeBox mode is active.
+ The entry for opening the Media Library on the right-click context menu
has moved out of the 'navigate' sub-menu and toward the top of the menu.
+ The "deinterlace" toggle has been removed from the right-click context
menu. It is still accessible by keyboard macro (Ctrl+Shift+D).
+ The "Stream Windows Media content using Windows Media Player ActiveX
control" setting is now disabled by default. If you previously relied
on this setting, you will need to re-enable it in the advanced options
dialog.
+ The media library's category configuration "Darken thumbnail background"
setting has been depreciated in favor of the new options dialog setting.
- Closing Zoom Player using the Alt+F4 key would trigger a crash under
some circumstances.
- Fixed a possible freeze when using MadVR and switching in and out of
fullscreen while a timeline preview thumbnail/position hint was visible.
- The media library's thumbnail memory cache was cleared when switching
between categories if new category used a different thumbnail resolution.
- Double clicking a media library unselected and partially visible
thumbnail would not trigger the play/mini-menu action.
- Fixed a visual glitch in the media library's bottom meta-data area when
scrolling and the active thumbnail scrolls off screen.
- Switching video renderer should no longer affect restoring the last
play position (only works with newly played media).
- The "Auto-Play next file in the playlist" setting did not work
as intended and at times did play the next file even when disabled.
- Random play would not include randomly playing newly added playlist
tracks until at least half the original playlist tracks were played.
- Some JPEG images with either embedded as Album art or with a mislabeled
file extension were not properly recognized as valid JPEG images and
were not used/shown.
- Depending on the function assigned to the left mouse button, clicking
a hot-corner may activate both the hot-corner functionality and the
functionality assigned to the left mouse button (instead of only
triggering the hot corner action).
- Closing Zoom Player while the playlist was retrieving the duration of
media files prevented Zoom Player from closing properly.
- Pressing on the "disabled" subtitle entry when it was already
selected incorrectly displayed an "Unknown error" message.
- TheMovieDB.org's scraper plug-in has did not properly detect
movies and tv shows containing the "-" character as part of
their name.
- The Time/Date display area in the fullscreen navigation virtual keyboard
would re-draw over and over instead of just once when showing and when
the time/date changed.
