What's new in this version:
- Automatic support for native Windows 7-10 media library folder structure previously only the more basic Windows XP-Vista library structure was supported).
- 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 (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).
- 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.
- New setting on the Torrents download & tracking plugin to prevent it from passing file entries to Zoom Player that are marked as "do not download". This setting is off by default.
- Enabling this setting can reduce some computations and speed up the listing process but at the same time it prevents you from later changing the download priority on these files.
- New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to enable Zoom Player's DSP filter only for visualizations.
- New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to set an initial audio re-synchronization value for visualizations (Zoom Player's DSP filter is required for this setting to function).
- The last play position is now drawn over the thumbnail in TV Jukebox mode.
- 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 / Interface Fullscreen Navigation / Customization").
- Zoom Player's default window size for the onyx skin was changed to present a default video size of 960x540 (up from the previous 604x340) and for the alba skin, the default video size was changed to 1280x720.
- 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.
- You can now press any navigation key to cancel a 'play all files in folder' feature mid-action.
- 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.
- Media Library plugin result entries now display the media's title instead of the file name or URL in list mode (previously the title only showed in thumbnail mode).
- 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.
- Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode while the media library is opened should be cleaner and faster (less visual junk in the transition).
- Opening the media library, especially on 4K displays showed a low resolution image of the media library for a split second before displaying the full resolution version.
- The double-draw event caused both the described visual glitch as well as a performance penality.
- Resizing the Zoom Player window while the media library was visible in thumbnail mode could cause the thumbnails to display in the wrong size.
- Selecting a custom Audio Renderer for audio visualizations did not work well (the wrong audio renderer was used at times).
- Loading a text file would not display the file name in the title area.
- Using the Stop function to close the playing media did not work if the playing media was a text file.
- Fixed a scraping bug where the ".nfo" file detection algorithm would fail with files/folders names containing unicode characters.
- Fixed a possible crash that would trigger sometimes on an initial run after a fresh install.
- 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.
- 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 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).
- 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.
- The media library's playlist plugin no longer shows an invalid duration value if the playlist entry has no duration.

What's new in this version:
- New Download & Tracking plugin API has been developed
- The API specifies which file extensions or URL sub-string matches to pass to the Download & Tracking API instead of trying to play
- This information is specified under: Adv. Options / File Format Association / File Extensions : Download
- The API can be used create a plugin that integrate with 3rd party download software or directly download the content itself
- The tracking portion of the API shows the currently download state and whether there's a good chance the download is currently playable. This information is displayed in the media library, file browsing and download tracking fullscreen navigation interfaces
- The download tracking navigation interface has been enhanced with the ability to predict when you can begin playing a media file while it is still downloading
- When using the new Torrents plugin, the prediction is based on the number of torrent pieces that have successfully downloaded from the beginning and end of the media file
- By default this is 2% from the beginning of the file and 1% from the end
- The Torrents plugin requires qBittorrent version 4 or newer to work. qBittorrent is now available to download through the Install Center

- New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / History) to hide files or URLs from being displayed in the play history dialogs while still remember the last playback position, volume, subtitle track, etc. All you need to do is specify a partial string, for example "some folder name" or "someurl.org".
- New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls) to disable seeking controls when playing files or URLs containing a specified path or text.
- New feature (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio / Visualizations) to override the audio renderer when playing with visualization.
- This allows you to use the "DC-Crossfading Audio Renderer" to support a volume fading effect on Start/End/Play/Stop/Seek only when playing with visualizations. This is similar to how WinAmp fades audio between tracks.

- The internal image decoder (JPEG/GIF/PNG/BMP) is now capable of downloading and displaying images directly from web servers (e.g. a playlist full of image URLs)
- Using the "open streaming link" or "open streaming link from keyboard" functions will now relay downloadable URLs to any matching download plugin (for example .torrent/magnet links) without affecting the current playback
- The media library 'RSS Feed' plugin now caps the maximum cached entries to 2000 and the description length to 3500 characters. Otherwise, over time the RSS plugin data would become too large and would stop displaying
- The playlist fullscreen navigation interface now draws a playing icon next to the currently playing track
- The YouTube Search and Trending media library plugins will now use a search/trending thumbnail when creating new categories. This change does not apply to previously created categories. The new images can be manually assigned using the category configuration dialog.

- Installing an audio device or a custom audio renderer filter would change the selected audio renderer for DVDs and WMP ActiveX playback
- Fixed a crash when trying to open a URL from the clipboard when the clipboard contained junk text
- Using local settings files while running multiple Zoom Player instances from different folders prevented changed settings from being saved
- Zoom Player didn't look for subtitles in the XySubFilter's paths definition, causing subtitles not to load when they were not in the same folder as the video
- Playing a media from the windows explorer (or other 3rd party software) would show an "are you sure?" prompt by accident
- Fixed a crash when trying to load a malformed play history cache file
- The Zoom Player Install Center and Zoom Player itself were out of sync, triggering a new components update notification to appear within 2 weeks after running the Instal Center
- 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
- When enabling the "Seek to key-frames when using LAV Video decoder (faster, less accurate seeking)" setting, some file handles were not properly closed, preventing the playing media from being erased until Zoom Player was closed
- The key-mapping editor's search feature did not work

What's new in this version:
- Adding chapters using the chapter editor will now instantly show the chapter's position in the timeline (if timeline display is enabled)
- Fixed a bug in countries with a comma decimal symbol where the media library thumbnails text height and spacing got truncated
- For example: a thumbnail's Text Height of "1.95%" resulted in an actual text height of "1%"

- The inactive navigation txt-lines background was not being drawn
- The "I" key will again close the information dialog if it is visible
- The media library category sorting order and last folder position could get reset under some conditions due to insufficient registry memory allocation
- Setting the control bar to appear with a fixed width while in fullscreen did not show the control bar in the right position (or at all) on secondary monitors
- Setting the control bar to appear at the top or bottom of the screen did not show the control bar in the right position (or at all) on secondary monitors
- The media library category editor did not show the currently enabled scraping mode, thumbnail aspect ratio and thumbnail columns when a language pack was installed
- The playlist editor line-spacing did not work well with every font
- Slight adjustment to the media library's thumbnail text drawing to better account for fonts with less-uniform character heights
- It was possible for a new components/filters notification to trigger without new components being available. It was triggered due to a new version of Zoom Player being available on the install center. Since player updates has its own notification, this message is redundant

- A cooperation with TheAudioDB.com resulted in an improved album-name identification algorithm (used for scraping Album meta-data and cover art within the Media Library)
- The media library's thumbnail font size configuration was calculated in a poorly conceived manner that made it difficult to change a thumbnail's font size and line numbers while maintaining consistency across different thumbnail aspect ratios. This has led to a complete rewrite of the text rendering code and new defaults being applied which may affect your previous thumbnail layout settings
- Switching between categories should update the thumbnails a bit quicker (~300ms) if they were previously memory cached
- Adding a station to the station manager now automatically highlights the newly created station
- LAV Source is now used by default for SHOUTcast type streams
- When using LAV Source to stream SHOUTcast/ICEcast content, the playing track's now is now properly displayed in the title and timeline areas

- An "new components update on the install center" notification was accidentally triggered by Install Center update entries for Zoom Player itself (which has a separate update notification), resulting in a double notification
- The Mouse Wheel, Navigation Style, Information, Main, Stream Selection, Media Scanner and Play History were showing the wrong number of text lines which caused the list to appear slightly off-center
- Pressing the "Auto-Scan System" button on the Audio Visualization Adv. Options dialog page would trigger a crash with some Sonique plugins preventing the scan from functioning. Now the crashing plugin is skipped
- Adding too many audio visualization plugins would cause the plugin list to reset once Zoom Player was restarted
- Disabling Smart Play by specifying a file extension to ignore would also break Smart Play for URLs or files that did not contain a file extension
- Adding a station using either the Station Manager's SHOUTcast station browser or using the fullscreen station navigation interface did not work if a non-english language pack was in use
- In the Station list fullscreen navigation interface, the "Previous Folder" function worked on the root level even though there was no folder above it, resulting in an empty screen display
- In the Station list fullscreen navigation interface, navigating left from the functions page would go up a folder instead of returning to the station list

- Zoom Player now supports 3DYD YouTube Source filter's DASH streams, enabling DirectShow YouTube streaming at resolutions of 1080p/4K/8K.
- A major performance issue was triggered by the Windows 10 Creators Edition update. In the update, Microsoft forced ClearType font anti-aliasing at larger font sizes. This lead to a massive navigation performance slow-downs on QHD (2560x1440) and 4K (3840x2160) screens.

- Navigating the fullscreen file browsing interface's subtitle search result page with the keyboard did not scroll the results when reaching the bottom of the screen
- The playlist fullscreen navigation interface used the wrong icon for URLs
- Opening a ".URL" file and then opening a media file resulted in the web page remaining on screen while the media played in the background
- The "Please Wait" window was trying to write debug information to "C:Log" and silently failing each time
- Aggressively hiding the mouse cursor has been disabled when HTML/YouTube/Flash interactivity modes are enabled as it prevented the mouse cursor from being restored on motion
- Quick Search using the keyboard in the media library did not scroll down to the searched category thumbnail
- Quick Search using the keyboard in the media library did not work at all unless you previously entered a category
- Using higher level scan-code keys (like Volume keys on certain keyboards) in fullscreen navigation interfaces that support quick search using the keyboard would trigger a quick-search lock that caused the interfaces to not respond properly
- The RSS media library plugin was showing links containing ".MOV" as audio
- The RSS Feed media library plugin would show duplicate entries on some RSS feeds
- Fixed a small cosmetical glitch that caused the scrollbar background area in the media library category to be drawn twice in slightly different vertical positions

What's new in this version:
New:
- Zoom Player settings Export/Import feature that saves all of Zoom Player's settings, profiles and configuration files to a single ZIP archive and can later on restore Zoom Player's settings from within Zoom Player itself (making it compatible with the Windows Store version of Zoom Player). Both settings are accessible through Zoom Player's advanced options dialog by pressing the "Help / Export" button
- The following settings are supported by the export feature: Activation Key file, Options dialog settings, Smart Play profiles, Skin color tinting profiles, Equalizer presets, Media library categories, Play history cache, Playback scheduler schedule, Streaming station manager entries, Custom right-click context menu script file, Custom Media/DVD background images, Custom Media/DVD keyboard mapping files
- The smart play source filter configuration dialog now allows you to specify a partial URL instead (or in combination) with file extensions, allowing you to setup custom filters based on the site's URL. This allows using such filters as the "3DYD YouTube Source" to stream youtube content directly (https://ys.3dyd.com/)
- Two new category types have been introduced "TV Shows" and "Movies". Zoom Player tries to automatically assign previous categories to these new types based on the 'scrape content mode' previously assigned to the category
- The media library filter icons that appear under the category list are now accessible using the keyboard by pressing the up or down arrow keys on the first/last category entry. Once activated, you can use the left/right arrow keys to switch between the filtering modes
- The playlist editor and the playlist fullscreen navigation interface now show the current play position next to the actively playing track
- New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) to switch the category layout between list and thumbnail view modes
- New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View) that controls how the thumbnail memory cache encodes the images. The default value is to store as JPEG images which uses the least amount of RAM. But for higher performance, especially on lower end CPUs, switching to RAW 24bit or 32bit will improve performance.
- New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) to control whether the Media Library's fullscreen navigation 'Media Scanner' is displayed.
- New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) to control whether the Media Library's fullscreen navigation 'Remove category folder(s)' is displayed.
- New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Playlist) to prevent Zoom Player from trying to parse ".PLS" files and instead lets directshow choose a filter to parse the files. This improves SHOUTcast streaming reliability. If you use .PLS files as SHOUTcast stations outside the station manager, you will need to enable this setting.
- New "/MediaFilter:[Number]" command line parameter to set the media library's filter mode. Valid values are: 0 = ALL, 1 = Movies, 2 = TV Shows, 3 = Videos, 4 = Audio, 5 = Pictures, 6 = Executables
- The media library's filter mode is now saved/restored when re-opening Zoom Player
- With the "Continue to the next Playlist item when an invalid file is played (otherwise show error)" setting enabled, you can now press the Stop button to stop from continuing to the next Playlist item.
- The station manager has been enhanced with an integrated search box
- New "fnPlayingToClipboard" function that copies the currently playing media file/URL to the clipboard
Changed:
- Zoom Player should start between 10%-300% faster, especially if there are many items in the play history
- Optimized the default fullscreen navigation skin to require less resize operations improving load/open time and taking up to 20% less RAM
- Optimized the file name hashing algorithm which should improve performance in several areas
- When fullscreen navigation 'Safe Mode' is enabled, the media library's 'Media Scanner' and 'Remove category folder(s)' are no longer displayed
- Disabling the "Show media content specific to the media library's category type" setting now shows all media files in a category (previously it would show the content based on the category filter)
- The selected entry on the station manager is now restored when re-opening the interface
- The station manager now lets you specify a "SHOUTcast" station type. Any station set as SHOUTcast are now opened as SHOUTcast streams even if the "Assume audio streaming (SHOUTcast, ICEcast) if no file ext. is specified in the URL (link)" setting is disabled
- SHOUTcast stations added from station browser or the fullscreen navigation station list are now automatically marked as SHOUTcast
- The Station Browser dialog entries no longer resets each time the dialog is closed and reopened
- The Add station dialog (station manager) remembers the last station mode (TV/Radio/SHOUTcast) used
- The default media library folder scraping blacklist has been cleaned up
- The "Assume audio streaming (SHOUTcast, ICEcast) if no file ext. is specified in the URL (link)" advanced options setting is now disabled by default and reset to default on initial run. This setting may be removed entirely in future versions as it conflicts with streaming video and is no longer necessary when playing shoutcast streams through the station manager or fullscreen navigation interface.
- The playing track on the fullscreen playlist navigation interface has changed from green to blue
Fixed:
- Removing every entry from the "Scrapers folder name blacklist" or "Scrapers file name blacklist" would crash and freeze Zoom Player
- Resizing the media library window could trigger a crash or show an improperly-sized thumbnail
- Fixed several memory leaks
- Fixed a freeze when trying to open the media library before the scraping DLL finished initializing
- Fixed several cases of "List index out of bounds" errors when trying to use the media library with no thumbnail selected
- Switching media library filter mode would reset several values changed since opening the media library (e.g. sorting)
- Opening a new media file while the media information dialog was visible did not update to the new media's date and file size
- Fixed a small memory leak when re-scraping modified media library folders
- The mouse scroll wheel did not work within the media information window while in fullscreen mode
- The integrated keyboard-mapping editor did not show the correct key-value for multimedia keys (play/stop/etc), which prevented assigning new functions to multimedia keys
- Using the station manager's "Play (Add to Playlist)" button would not actually start playing the new station
- In Windows 10 with the "Blank non-Playing Monitors while in Fullscreen / Zoom mode" enabled and Zoom Player set to start in fullscreen mode, Zoom Player appeared as a blank black box
- The timeline thumbnail preview appeared in the wrong position on some multi-monitor setups
- The windows task bar icon was not correctly updated with the specified task list after restarting Zoom Player
- Fixed a crash when trying to close Zoom Player while Zoom Player was in the process of opening a media file or URL
- Fixed a crash when trying to play over a 1000 non-existant files or non-responding URLs
- Trying to switch stations through the station manager while the previous station did not complete loading could have triggered unforeseen issues
- Trying to close Zoom Player while a track was loading could have caused instability in certain cases
- When using the media library category filter and then loading a media file that's currently in a filtered-out category, Zoom Player will now switch the category filter to match the playing file and then show the file highlighted when opening the media library
- If you enabled the video resolution display on the timeline, it should now display even when playing live streams
- Error messages should no longer appear partially offscreen if the message's content is wider than the resolution of the screen
- The play history no longer lists duplicate entries for URL streams
- Zoom Player failed to identify "https://" and "rtmp://" URLs with no duration as live streams, which could trigger a freeze when trying to seek
- Panning a Zoomed video with the mouse would trigger the mouse's click-event (by default play/pause) after letting go of the mouse button
- The station manager dialog was showing character tags instead of the actual characters (e.g. "&" instead of "&")
- The station manager wasn't updating the station list display after editing a station
- With "Show OSD filename when opening a new file" enabled, failing to play would show a blank OSD message
- The error dialog wouldn't show "&" characters correctly

What's new in this version:
- 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.

- 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.
