Version 14 release candidate 2 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! + The media library scraping plugin now uses a fuzzy search algorithm to better detect non-exact movie names matches. + The media library scraping plugin now prefers a release year to an exact name match, reducing false-positive matches. - 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. - The "stay on top" setting would stop functioning when exiting fullscreen mode with the playlist editor visible.

Version 14 is ready and contains lots of cool new features! here are the highlights:
Navigation and Media Library Enhancements The default fullscreen navigation skin has been enhanced with new/polished icons and a cleaner background image for a more modern and professional style. TheMovieDB.org meta-data scraper plugin has been enhanced to improve the identification accuracy for Movies and TV shows. The media library setting page includes new controls to easily switch between different audio and video rendering devices in real time. The fullscreen navigation interfaces can now be detached from the main user interface and displayed in fullscreen on a second monitor. The download tracking fullscreen navigation interface now shows downloads in a familiar label/folder structure instead of the flat list shown in previous versions. Control downloading media with more functions such as "Download Priority", "Pause/Resume" and more... With a new "Playlist" plugin, media library categories can be created by simply pointing to any playlist file. Download & Tracking By introducing a Download & Tracking API and greater integration with the open-source qBittorrent client, Zoom Player can automatically send torrent files and magnet links to qBittorrent and track the download process in real time. Media files with enough downloaded pieces are highlighted as playable while the media is still downloading (faux streaming). qBittorrent version 4 is a requirement for this feature and is now available for download through Zoom Player 14's Install Center. Check out this cool slideshow demonstrating the new Torrents plugin. Playback History, Privacy & Child safety Zoom Player's playback history is a great feature that allows you to resume media playback from the last played position and a lot more (restore volume/subtitle & audio track/etc...). For additional privacy & child safety, new playback history features have been introduced to provide greater control over how information is retained and later displayed by the play history dialogs. The new controls provide the additional security that children will not be accidentally exposed to previously played content that is inappropriate for their age. More Features, Enhancements & Fixes Many more features, enhancements and fixes didn't make the short list. Make sure to check out the full list by clicking here. Download You can upgrade to version 14 through the Install Center or by manually downloading the installers. Last edited by Blight; 29th November 2017 at 14:47. |

Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! + 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. + Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode while the media library is opened should be cleaner and faster (less visual junk in the transition). - Fixed a scraping bug where the ".nfo" file detection algorithm would fail with files/folders names containing unicode characters. - 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 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.

Version 14.1 beta 2 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * 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 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. * The last play position is now drawn over the thumbnail in TV Jukebox mode. + 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. + 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. - 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). Previous beta changes since the release of version 14: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer...new_beta.shtml |

Version 14.1 release candidate 1 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * 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). + 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 / System"). + Further optimized the download plugin code to the point where a data refresh on the download navigation interface should no longer cause any UI lag whatsoever. - 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.

Zoom Player v14.1 final has been released:
Polished With each version, I evaluate what improvement can be made to make Zoom Player even more polished and friendly to use. In this version, the media library's TV jukebox mode now shows the episode's last play position right on the thumbnail, the native (and customizable) Windows 10 media library folders are now automatically accessible and finally, fullscreen navigation on 2K/4K screens is automatically set for high performance text anti-aliasing, fixing slow navigation introduced by a change in how Windows 10 creators edition renders high resolution text. Optimized The torrents download plugin and the fullscreen download navigation interface changes introduced in version 14 suffered from performance issues when tracking a large number of files (over 10,000), making the interface nearly unusable. To fix this, the entire logic was rewritten and tested to work smoothly with over 28,000 tracked files. Some of these optimizations also made their way into other media library plugins such as YouTube, RSS & Playlist. Enhanced This version includes a larger default window size, the ability to abort 'play all files in folder' type functions mid-action, enhanced support for ".m3u8" playlists, more visualization options, a notification when closing Zoom Player takes a bit longer, smoother transition between fullscreen and windowed mode for the media library and many small bugs were squashed.

Options / Fullscreen Navigation) to force the navigation list or thumb view to maximum width. Unlike the "full width" setting, this setting will make the navigation list area take the display device's maximum resolution, which can cause some cosmetic issues (like the thumbnail highlight getting cropped). + Zoom Player now does a better job at extracting album art images from media files if the JPEG image contains junk in front of the actual image. + The Command & Control API now notifies when subtitles are enabled/ disabled when using the "fnToggleSub" and "fnDisableDVDsub" functions. - Kinetic scrolling in the media library did not work well using a mouse cursor, stopping when attempting to scroll multiple times while the kinetic movement was still in mid process. - Playing media that contained certain special characters in the media's title caused multiple unplayable entries to appear in the play history. - With the "Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size - Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio (when resizing)" setting enabled, playing audio files with folder/album art could cause Zoom Player's main window to display partially off-screen. - The latest version of mediainfo DLL changed how it extracts cover art for audio files, breaking Zoom Player support for displaying the album art with some audio formats (mainly M4A). - Better album art image extraction from audio files with ID3v2 TAGs when the image header included some junk data. - When opening a media file by double-clicking from explorer (or other file managers), the currently playing track wouldn't highlight correctly and show the playing position in the playlist editor.

Version 14.5 beta 2 has been released.
Version 14.5 beta 2 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * The playlist editor (when using the default Onyx skin or the bundled Alba skin) now draws alternating line highlights making the playlist easier to track visually. * The playlist editor's right-click menu now features Colorize actions that let you easily color-code track(s) text and background colors. The color information is automatically saved and restored when using Zoom Player's default ZPL format playlists. * New "PlayListData/Background2" skin script parameter that specifies the alternating playlist editor line highlight color. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) that automatically tries to use the YouTube IFRAME player if DirectShow playback of a YouTube stream fails. * The advanced playlist control (accessible through the playlist editor or by pressing "J") now show the number of items remaining in the playlist as the search filters down the list. + The advanced playlist control's filter search was searching the entire playlist on each letter pressed, this caused a sluggish user experience when dealing with very larger playlists (over 30,000 entries). To enhance the user experience, the search action is now only performed 350-400ms after the last key-stroke, ensuring that the user interface does not stall while typing. - Using the "Stop" function while a media was loading combined with a non-default setting that closes the playing media when using the "Stop" function and when display a JPEG/PNG image could cause the image to remain on screen. - Double-clicking an entry on the skin selection dialog could sometimes trigger an access violation error. - When opening the playlist editor, under some conditions the bottom entries would not show up until the playlist screen was refreshed by a click or scroll. - The "&" character wasn't showing up in the playlist editor. - Pressing under the last item in the playlist editor did not visually select the last item in the list. Then if you pressed the "Enter" key, it would start playing the last item in the playlist which was a bit confusing without the visual cue of a selected entry. - Fixed a crash when trying to play a video file with too many external audio tracks. External audio tracks are now limited to a maxiumum of 10 tracks. Previous beta changes since the release of version 14.4: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer...new_beta.shtml |
