What's new in Zoom Player v14.5:
* Extended video streaming support for the following web sites:
Facebook (facebook.com)
Vimeo (vimeo.com)
Dailymotion (dailymotion.com)
VK (vk.com)
LiveLeak (liveleak.com)
Break.com (break.com)
Veoh (veoh.com)
eBaum's World (ebaumsworld.com)
VKMag.com (vkmag.com)
Team Four Star (teamfourstar.com)
GodTube (godtube.com)
StreetFire.net (streetfire.net)
Daily HaHa (dailyhaha.com)
TCMag.com (tcmag.com)
Bofunk (bofunk.com)
Some sites (e.g. facebook) may require you to enable the extended analysis
mode for the 3DYD filter through the Zoom Player Install Center.
* Automatic fullscreen navigation skin switching based on the display's
aspect ratio.
For example, by specifying a 16:10 and selected a Zoom Player navigation
skin designed for 16:10 displays.
(e.g. https://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/nav/default1610.shtml)
Note:
Skin switching is currently only triggered when opening a navigation
interface.
* TheMovieDB.org media library scraping plugin has been enhanced and can
now return non-english meta-data (texts and images).
* 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 "Thumb rendering threads" setting (Adv. Options / Interface /
Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View) to specify the number of CPU threads
used to render the thumbview display.
Previously, this setting was hard-coded to use 2 threads, but now you
can specify any value from "Auto" to "16".
Auto mode uses either 2 or 3 threads depending on your PC, but
performance can be improved further with additional threads on systems
containing many cores or high bandwidth RAM.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) that automatically tries to use
the YouTube IFRAME player if DirectShow playback of a YouTube stream
fails.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls):
"Next / Previous Track" plays the next/prev media in the same folder if
playlist contains 1 file.
This function behind this setting was previously always enabled.
This setting remains enabled by default, but from now you can disable
this behavior from the advanced options dialog.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Controls) to mute the audio when
enabling Slow Motion or Fast Play.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) 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).
* New "Support folders as playlist entries" Setting (Adv. Options /
Interface / Playlist). This setting was previously hardcoded and
is still enabled by default to support advanced playlist functionality.
However, supporting folders as playlist entries triggers a spun-down HDD
drive to spin back up when a playlist is loaded. With this new setting
disabled, you can now prevent drives from accidentally spinning up.
* The advanced playlist control (accessible through the playlist editor
or by pressing "J") now shows the number of items remaining in the
playlist as the search filters the playlist.
* New "Refresh" option (Media Library Category Editor / Configure Category)
for YouTube channels and RSS Streams that refreshes the channel's Name &
Thumbnail.
* New "exVidMoveHorz" and "exVidMoveVert" extended functions that move
the video area (fullscreen) or player window (when not in fullscreen)
horizontally and vertically.
Command line usage example:
zplayer.exe /exfunc:exvidmovehorz,-200 /exfunc:exvidmovevert,-100
* New "fnToggleOverlayCover" function to toggle the "Video covers entire
display area" setting on and off.
+ Optimized the Media Library's thumbnail drawing code, increasing update
speed and smoothness.
+ The Maximum number of scraping threads used by the media library has
increased from 8 to 16.
+ 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.
+ When a media library scraped movie did not contain a backdrop image,
the default background image is now used instead of a black screen.
+ 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 Install Center now includes two configuration profiles for the
3DYD YouTube Source filter that enable HD/4K streaming.
+ Visualization are now supported when the 3DYD YouTube Source filter is
set to "audio only" output.
+ The Command & Control API now notifies when subtitles are enabled/
disabled when using the "fnToggleSub" and "fnDisableDVDsub" functions.
+ Updated the PNG and zLib libraries to newer versions.
- TheAudioDB.com scraper plugin is now functional again after the API used
by the site moved to encrypted communication (https), breaking backward
compatibility.
- TheAudioDB.com media library scraper can now better handle artist names
containing the "-" character, for example "Alt-J - This Is All Yours"
will now properly scrape.
- Starting Zoom Player with the "Do not check if a file exists when adding
to the playlist" setting enabled no longer triggers spun-down HDD drives
to spin-up.
- The GuardDog feature tried to restart Zoom Player if Zoom Player's
load time was taking too long (due to HDD drive spin-ups or a network
drive reconnection), from now the guard dog feature will only start
functioning once Zoom Player has finished loading.
- When viewing the media library's TV/Movie in JukeBox mode, the backdrop
images was not scaled and cropped properly on non-16:9 displays
(e.g. 1920x1200 monitor) leaving black bars instead of filling with
the backdrop.
- 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.
- Fixed a possible TheMovieDB.org scraper freeze (could have caused
slow-downs on exit or more rarely, a player freeze) when used in
combination with the "Scrape using media derived title (instead
of file name)" category setting.
- The Media Library's Jukebox mode would not enable if the only file in
the folder was a playlist.
- Fixed a case where a media library scraped movie not containing a
backdrop image showed a backdrop from another movie.
- When the "Scrape using media derived title (instead of file name)" category
setting was enabled, under some conditions, the media's thumbnail would not
display after closing and reopening the media library.
- Playing media that contained certain special characters in the media's
title caused multiple unplayable entries to appear in the play history.
- If a media title contained a 'line feed' or 'return' characters, it would
corrupt 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.
- Using the "Stop" function while a JPEG/PNG image was loading, combined
with a setting that closes the playing media when using the "Stop"
function, caused the image to remain on screen under some conditions.
- 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 maximum of 10 tracks.
- When the "Force the navigation list or thumb view display to full width"
setting was enabled in combination with the "Use dynamically visible
scroll bar" setting, the thumbnail would not highlight correctly.
- Zoom Player will no longer try running MediaInfo.dll when playing a URL,
removing the 'unknown error' message from the play information dialogs.
- Using the "^" character in a file name to force the media library
scraper to ignore any text after this character did not work properly
in some cases.
- The "Mute audio during forward and backward seeks" setting was muting
audio when attempting to seek forward/backward in a live stream even
in cases where seeking was not possible.

Zoom Player FREE 14.4.0
更新細節：
What's new in Zoom Player v14.4:
Initial support for the AV1 video compression format:
AOMedia Video 1 (AV1), is an open, royalty-free video coding format designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It is being developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a consortium of firms from the semiconductor industry, video on demand providers, and web browser developers, founded in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1
The AV1 codec should eventually provide a 20% superior image quality/bitrate compared to HEVC (H.265).
New "Run Application" media library plugin that lets you run applications and scripts directly from a media library category thumbnail.
New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface), Station manager should stay on top of other application when switching to fullscreen mode.
New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback), Load .URL files as streaming media (otherwise load as web page).
New (Adv. Options / Playback) "On play complete" option to execute an application or script as soon as the playlist completes playing.
Media library meta-data scraping had issues with long file paths and URLs (over 200 characaters, depending on Zoom Player's installation path) due to an early design decision to make the cached entries easy to identify using their file names and URL addresses.
However, to this day, windows does not support paths longer than 255 characters correctly. As a work-around, if a long file name or url is processed, the cache mechanism now uses a short hash instead of the full file name or url.
Enhanced support for RSS feed thumbnails. More thumbnails should show up when adding RSS feeds as media library categories (including more category thumbnail for feeds that support them).
If an RSS Feed has multiple entries with the same publish date, the entries will now be second-level sorted by URL.
The number of RSS entries cached by the media library plugin has been raised from 2000 to 5000.
Two Sonique visualization resolution settings have changed from an aspect ratio of 4:3 to 16:9 : 320x240 -> 320x180 640x480 -> 640x360
This change may not be reflected in the drop-down list if you are new resolutions are set according to the numbers above.
Enhanced the SHOUTcast station sorting.
When downloading playlists, Zoom Player now uses the windows temp folder instead of the 'my documents'.
When playing archive files (zip/rar), the archive is now extracted to the windows temp folder instead of 'my documents'.
Meta-data returned when playing streaming audio is now trimmed to remove superfluous spaces before/after the returned text.
A race condition caused the scrape manager thread not to signal it is terminating correctly, causing Zoom Player to freeze on exit.
The media library playlist plugin now supports playlist URLs longer than 255 characters long.
RSS feeds containing a special unicode line-break character in the description would trigger a freeze when opening the RSS media library category a second time.
Enabling the "Share Play History at a custom path" setting and not specifying a trailing "" in the folder name would cause the play history to be saved incorrectly.
The "Continue to the next Playlist item when an invalid file is played" setting would skip tracks if the unplayable media was the last playlist entry.
Opening a playlist from the file-open dialog would not always preserve the active playlist entry as specified in the playlist file.
Some unicode characters did not show up correctly in the playlist editor and music OSD if the selected font did not support the characters. Now a different windows text-rendering function is used, one that takes unsupported character from a system-default font.
When including an executable entry in the playlist, playback did not progress to the next track correctly and would cause the wrong title to appear in the playlist editor.
Playing an audio file with visualization could cause the right click menu to show multiple "close navigator" entries when right-clicking on a fullscreen navigation interface.
The SHOUTcast station browser would show duplicate entries after opening the dialog multiple times on different days.
When playing SHOUTcast/ICEcast streams, playing the next track would cause the previously playing title to overwrite the new track's title in the playlist editor.
Opening a streaming URL from clipboard (Alt+Ctrl+"U") failed to work if the URL was a playlist.
Pressing the "Play (add to playlist)" button while a navigation interface was visible and the "Stop closes the navigation interfaces" setting was enabled prevented playback of the station from starting.
Parsing ".CUE" files failed when the an entry contained the word "TRACK" in either the performer or title tags.

更新細節：
You can now perform sorting (by Listeners, Name, BitRate & Format) in the SHOUTcast station browser dialog.
When the up/down arrow keys are assigned to next/previous chapter or track, the up/down keys were not set logically, now pressing down will go to the next track/chapter and pressing up will go to the previous track/chapter.
Opening a YouTube channel with no internet connection now shows a refresh option instead of a message that the category is empty.
Using the 'Open subtitle file' to add a subtitle to the currently playing media now initializes the file selection dialog to open in the playing media's folder.
The stream selection fullscreen navigation interface will no longer automatically close when switching between tracks.
You can now open the stream selection fullscreen navigation interface even if no media is currently playing.
Due to a language file that was not updated in version 14.2, the titles on navigation interfaces showed the wrong title.
Pressing the "Load More" button in media library categories with a plugin capable of showing multiple pages (e.g. YouTube) would cause the "refresh" option to disappear if there were no more media to list.
The RSS feed media library plugin was not showing the correct publishing dates for some RSS feed (e.g. YouTube RSS).
Trying to load a playlist through the Open URL (Shift+"U") dialog failed with an error message.
The media library playlist plugin did not function properly under some conditions, reporting an empty category.
The media library playlist plugin did not use a clean category name when a playlist URL was used instead of an actual file.

更新細節：
New "Favorites" fullscreen navigation interface. Any media can be added to the favorites list through the media library or file browsing navigational interfaces. Please note that this change required resetting the "Navigation interfaces on main navigator" feature to it's default value (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation).
When using the "Open URL" function, a new "Clear playlist" checkbox is now available (previously the playlist was always cleared).
With LAV Filters v0.71, a D3D11 hardware decoding mode has been added. You can instruct LAV to use this mode automatically by setting the option under "Adv. Options / Playback / Video".
The "Play History database may be corrupted" message will no longer appear unless the play history file is actually corrupted.
You can now set the "Retain Media Playback History for" value to 99999 days (~2738 years), up from the original 9999 days (~27 years), just in case one of you finds immortality and wished to use Zoom Player forever.
The torrents plugin should now shutdown a little faster if Zoom Player closes while the plugin was fetching an updated file list.
Fixed a bug that prevented the previously active audio track from being restored when re-playing a video with multiple audio tracks.
Opening a playlist from navigation interfaces loaded the playlist but did not automatically start playing it.
The fullscreen navigation's text Anti-Aliasing setting was being reset after restarting the player.
Bug Fixes.

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.
