Changes in this beta:
* New feature!
+ Changed feature!
- Fixed feature!
* New "Thumb rendering threads" setting (Adv. Options / Interface /
Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View) to specify the number of CPU threads
used to render the thumbview display.
Previously, this setting was hard-coded to use 2 threads, but now you
can specify any value from "Auto" to "16".
Auto mode uses either 2 or 3 threads depending on your PC, but
performance can be improved further with additional threads on systems
containing many cores or high bandwidth RAM.
* New "Support folders as playlist entries" Setting (Adv. Options /
Interface / Playlist). This setting was previously hardcoded and
is still enabled by default to support advanced playlist functionality.
However, supporting folders as playlist entries triggers a spun-down HDD
drive to spin back up when a playlist is loaded. With this new setting
disabled, you can now prevent drives from accidentally spinning up.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls) to mute the audio when
enabling Slow Motion or Fast Play.
* New "fnToggleOverlayCover" function to toggle the "Video covers entire
display area" setting on and off.
+ Optimized the Media Library's thumbnail drawing code, increasing update
speed and smoothness.
+ The Maximum number of scraping threads used by the media library has
increased from 8 to 16.
+ When a media library scraped movie did not contain a backdrop image,
the default background image is now used instead of a black screen.
+ Updated the PNG and zLib libraries to newer versions.
- Starting Zoom Player with the "Do not check if a file exists when adding
to the playlist" setting enabled no longer triggers spun-down HDD drives
to spin-up.
- The GuardDog feature would try to restart Zoom Player if Zoom Player's
load time was taking too long (due to HDD drive spin-ups or a network
drive reconnection).
- The Media Library's Jukebox mode would not enable if the only file in
the folder was a playlist.
- Fixed a case where a media library scraped movie not containing a
backdrop image showed a backdrop from another movie.
