Announcing Zoom Player v9.4 PRO/MAX final!
In v9.4 we worked hard to optimize the fullscreen user interface to make it much more intuitive and functional, making v9.4 especially useful for Tablet, HTPC and Portable users.
Key features include:
1. New feature to load DirectShow filters directly from a DLL even if the filter is not registered/installed with the operating system.
2. Enhanced fullscreen navigation icons and clickable areas.
3. Faster playlist parsing.

Full change list:
* New feature to load DirectShow filters directly from a DLL even if the
filter is not registered/installed on the system (Adv. Options / Playback
/ Smart Play / Info & DLL Paths).
The external DLL paths are searched when Zoom Player tries to create a
filter that is not registered with the operating system.
Note:
+ All paths are relative to Zoom Player's EXE's folder.
+ Some filters may require registry entries to work.
* New "<" icon next to a fullscreen navigation interface's icon/title to
provide a clear visual indicator that clicking the location navigates
to the previous navigation page.
* New setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Customization) to set the scrollbar's width.
* New clickable icons for "Play all files in this directory" and
"Randomly Play all files in this directory".
* New "Play" icon next to playable entries in multiple fullscreen
navigation interfaces (media library, file browser, etc).
* You can now select MadVR as the Windows Media DRM playback
video renderer.
+ Large playlist load time has been optimized by up to 200%.
+ You can now single-click previous directory icon to go to the previous
directory.
+ New "Unknown" icon now used with unknown file types in file listing
fullscreen navigation interfaces (media library, file browser, etc).
+ When loading a playlist comprised of multiple playlists, each with a sort
method specified in the playlist, the playlists will now be individually
sorted and appended instead of the final playlist being sorted.
+ The fullscreen navigation scrollbar width is no longer dependant on the
width of the dialog as that didn't make sense rotating displays (such as
tablets). The scroll bar width is now fixed size.
+ The icon used to access the fullscreen navigation interface's functions
page has been modified to more clearly indicate the action taken by
clicking the icon.
+ On the fullscreen navigation function pages of the media library and
file browsing interfaces, on the "Add to Playlist" entry, the icon has
been changed from a right arrow to a playlist icon to better indicate
that clicking the icon opens the playlist navigation interface.
+ The playlist icon has been replaced with a new, polished design.
- The "Create Contact Sheet" feature got completely broken in v9.3.
- The fullscreen navigation interfaces did not resize when rotating the
screen orientation.
- When playing a media with external audio track files, the used filters
may not have been released properly from memory, causing all sorts of
possible issues (for example, MadVR would not release it's overlay,
covering the video area when playing audio files afterwards).
- The fullscreen playlist navigation interface's font did not adjust in
size to match the "Navigation Line Count" setting and was not perfectly
centered within each line.
- The Alt+"S" keyboard macro that opens the subtitle configuration page
did not work if the "XySubFilter" subtitle renderer filter was used.
- When using a detached control bar on the primary screen to display preview
thumbnails from a video playing on a secondary screen, the thumbnails would
always appear below the timeline, even when there was space above it.
- When using a detached control bar on the primary screen to display
preview thumbnails from a video playing on a secondary screen, the
thumbnails would initially appear on the secondary until the mouse
was moved at least 1 pixel over the timeline.
- The previous fullscreen navigation customization settings were not restored
if the options dialog was closed using the "Cancel" button.
- Resizing the fullscreen station navigation interface width could cause the
station name to overlap the station format and bitrate text fields.
- The Install Center would list an update as available even if a newer
version was already installed if the update's build number was higher than
the currently installed version's build number, for example:
v9.3.0.102 would appear newer than v9.4.0.3
- The "DefaultSettings.exe" file did not reset the Steam Edition's settings.
In v9.4 we worked hard to optimize the fullscreen user interface to make it much more intuitive and functional, making v9.4 especially useful for Tablet, HTPC and Portable users.
