Since the available buttons now stands at 88, I've added a filtering
option to make it easier to find the button you're looking for.
* Color Control support is now available when using MPC-VR as the
video renderer.
* Added a new JSON post-processing cache mechanism when using the IPTV
Player API. The practical application is that Zoom Player opens the IPTV
window faster when closing and reopening Zoom Player several times in the
same IPTV database update period (by default, once per day).
* The IPTV EPG Grid view has been visually enhanced with gradient shading of
Streams and Programs. Of course, I made the gradient colors fully
customizable through the EPG Grid's "Customize" menu option.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Mouse / Settings) that determines
whether the mouse cursor hides automatically when the player window is
maximized. Enabled by default.
* New Settings (Adv. Options / Interface / Control Overlay) to pick the color
and opacity of timeline highlighting features (e.g. AB Repeat).
* The "exInterface" extended function has been enhanced with new parameters:
15 = Show Control Overlay
16 = Hide Control Overlay
17 = Show Color Control Overlay
18 = Hide Color Control Overlay
19 = Show IPTV stream selection window
20 = Hide IPTV stream selection window
21 = Show Media Server browser window
22 = Hide Media Server browser window
* Zoom Player's error dialog is no longer skinned and has been rewritten
to use a modern overlay style. Should be easier to read, especially when
compared to the skinned version on bright skins (e.g. Alba).
* Zoom Player's "Please wait" dialog is no longer skinned and has been
rewritten to use an modern overlay style.
* New "Tab" (nvTab) navigation function.
The Tab button can now be used to:
1. Switch the main home theater interface between home theater interface
selection and system functions.
2. Switch the media library home theater interface to function mode
and back to the media list.
3. Switch the file browsing home theater interface to function mode
and back to the file list.
4. Switch the play list home theater interface to function mode
and back to the media list.
5. Switch the play history home theater interface to function mode
and back to the media list.
6. Switch the favorites home theater interface to function mode
and back to the media list.
7. Switch the streaming audio home theater interface to function mode
and back to the media list.
8. Switch the active button on the error dialog window.
If you are using a custom keyboard layout, you may want to add this line
to your key file:
nvAddKey(None,9,nvTab)
* Zoom Player's TCP/IP has been extended with a new "0300" message that
returns the current skin mode. The skin mode is a 32bit value with each
bit indicating whether a skin group section is active.
* Zoom Player's TCP/IP has been extended with a new "0310" message that
returns the current Media mode skin file.
* Zoom Player's TCP/IP has been extended with a new "0320" message that
returns the current DVD mode skin file.
* Zoom Player's TCP/IP has been extended with a new "0330" message that
returns the current Audio mode skin file.
Changed :
+ The AB Repeat feature's active range is now visible on the control overlay
timeline area.
+ The "Refresh" button on the IPTV player window can now be used to force
a refresh of the IPTV playlist/EPG databases for either the selected
playlist entry or All playlist entries without having to open the
advanced options dialog.
+ Playing media from a media server (PLEX / Emby / Jellyfin) that includes
multiple versions of the same media will now add all versions to the
playlist, allowing you to switch between versions using the "next track"
feature.
+ The Media Server Browser now remembers the list's "Top Index" when
closing and re-opening the browser window, restoring the exact
scroll bar position of the selected item within the list.
+ Opening the "Chapter Editor / Go to" dialog using the "G" keyboard shortcut
now opens with the "Go to" entry box active and available for immediate
input. Opening the same dialog with the Shift+"C" keyboard shortcut opens
the dialog with the Chapter name entry box active.
+ Dragging the Color Control Overlay's color bars now shows the active value
as you drag the mouse cursor over a color bar.
+ Switching between Modern and Classic user interface modes now tries to
remember the currently active skin in Classic mode.
+ Zoom Player's function picker dialog now uses a filtering feature
instead of search as it makes it much easier to find functions. The
function picker is used in several places throughout Zoom Player's
user interface, including the keyboard layout editor and picking
custom mouse button functions.
+ When using multiple attempts to connect to a streaming server, the
"Please Wait" window now shows a "Connecting (2/3)" type messages
to provide better feedback on the current connection status.
Fixed :
- Fixed an issue where the playlist editor and equalizer windows could pop
to the front of other applications when a new media is loaded and
Zoom Player is in the running in the background.
- There were some cases when trying to use the media library category editor
to add a YouTube channel where channel URLs using "@[username]" were not
identified correctly and other channels were added instead.
- Using the media library category editor failed to add a YouTube channel
where the channel's URL contained extra information after the channel's
identifier (e.g. "https://youtube.com/@zptechnology?si=LsHK4XZ6ngCgLcXE").
- In the advanced options dialog, the ability to set custom functions for
the keyboard's "Space" and "Arrow" functions (left/right/up/down) was
broken with the custom entry fields remaining disabled.
- Switching to audio mode when using MPC-VR as the video renderer did not
hide the video window causing cosmetic issues with the audio mode skin.
- There was a slight lag updating the timeline's current position when
loading a media with a previously saved position.
- Favorites added from the media server's media library plugin are now
playable. If you previously added favorites from a media library
category using the media server plugin, you will have to add them again.
- Trying to play a media from either an Emby or Jellyfin server failed
if the media had multiple versions (encodings).
- The "Show/Hide the Home Theater's Web Browser interface" feature was
broken, triggering an empty screen or crash.
- The advanced options dialog's playlist Customization page was accidentally
labeled as "Playlist".
- Resetting the control overlay's default style did not reset the opacity
level of the timeline chapter marks to its correct 50% default value.
- The were cases where the error dialog could appear behind other,
open windows.
