Changes in this beta:

* New feature!

+ Changed feature!

- Fixed feature!


* The hint pop-up that appears when hovering with the mouse
cursor over a skinned user interface button now includes the
keyboard macro used to activate the button.

* You can now rotate the playing video by 90 degree increments
using MPC-VR as the video renderer by pressing Shift+"R".

* Subtitle synchronization adjustments now works when using the
MPC-VR video renderer.

* New "fnMPCVRinfo" Zoom Player function to toggle MPC-VR's video
rendering information overlay. The new function is assigned by
default to the Ctrl+"J" keyboard macro.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / libVLC) to enable SHOUTcast
playback using the libVLC media engine. I do not recommend enabling this
setting, the way libVLC handles SHOUTcast playback is sub-par compared
to the default DirectShow media engine.

* You can now press Ctrl+"C" with an IPTV EPG program selected to copy
the program name to the Windows Clipboard.

* New "Configure" button in the Advanced Options' Audio Renderer selection
dialog. Mainly useful when using the MPC Audio Renderer option.

+ The IPTV window's active stream list is now restored when re-opening.

+ The Open-Source media library YouTube plugins will notify you when
Zoom Player's YouTube API key quota has been reached.

Since YouTube is limiting API calls, you can work-around this issue by
creating a personal API key using the instructions in Zoom Player's blog:

+ The download tracking home theater interface keyboard macro has been
moved from Ctrl+"J" to Ctrl+"X".

+ The keyboard editor dialog now appears faster, resizes faster and you can
press a key combination to instantly find its current assignment or use
the search box to search by the feature description assigned to a key.

+ The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) now displays real-time video
rendering information when MPC-VR is used as the video renderer.

+ The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) now prefixes a "~" symbol
before the frame rate (FPS) value when the frame rate is not properly
detected in the media file (can happen quite often with formats that
use variable frame rate).

- Adding new Chapters (bookmarks) for existing media files would add a
second "No title" ghost entry that did not function properly.

- When an IPTV playlist contained multiple streams using the exact same
name and ID, but with a different URL or Archive Catch-up source, playing
such a stream would highlight all the streams as "playing".

- Filenames with special characters did not open correctly when using
libVLC as the media engine.

- Setting the timeline to display the media's remaining time would result
in displaying odd values when streaming live content that doesn't update
the stream's duration. Now "??:??" is displayed instead.

- Fixed an issue that prevented the last play position being restored when
using libVLC as the media engine.

- Media Chapters were not loaded correctly in regions where the decimal
separator character is ",".

- Trying to play a bad file or URL using the libVLC media engine would not
fail properly, instead leaving the player in a sort of limbo state.

- When using the libVLC media engine with the "On Playlist Complete" setting
set to "Auto-Rewind", the media would start playing and did not pause at
the media's start as expected.

- The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) did not show the correct
resolution with some clips when using MadVR or MPCV-VR as the video
renderers.

- Fixed a case were closing and re-opening the IPTV dialog after playing
a channel would not highlight the correct channel if there were multiple
channels with the same name.

- Fixed a glitch that showed new an IPTV EPG/Playlist are ready to refresh
message and enabling the refresh button after initiating and completing
an update download from the options dialog.

- If two IPTV channels share the same channel name and EPG entry, playing
one of the entries could later highlight the identical program entry on
another channel as playing.

- Fixed a few cosmetic glitches in the default Charcoal skin.
