Version 16 beta 4 has been released
Version 16 beta 4 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * TheMovieDB.org's media scraper is now capable of scraping U.S. Movie (G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17) and TV (TV-Y/TV-Y7/TV-G/TV-PG/TV-14/TV-MA) content rating. The content rating appears as an icon next to the other codec/format icons appearing in jukebox mode. You will need to re-scrape your media in order to see content rating on previously scraped media. * TheMovieDB.org's media scraper's configuration can now be set to scrape for "no language" content. * New (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) "Show play position bar on list icons with the this color" setting (disabled by default) * New (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) "Show Previously Played counter in path area" setting that displays the number of yet to be played media within the current media library folder next to the folder's path (disabled by default). * New YouTube Playlist media library plugin which allows you to easily import YouTube playlists as Zoom Player media library categories. * You can now refresh a media library category with a new "Refresh" button to update the display if the folder content was changed in the background. * The navigation skinning engine has been enhanced to add more granular support for the path area's icon size and position. + The fullscreen information navigation interface now splits long information into multiple lines. - The caching mechanism for media library category thumbnail caching was mostly broken, not actually caching most of the thumbnails. With this fix, subsequently browsing the category list should be much snappier. - Renaming files/folder in the media library no longer causes the play position to be forgotten and the media no longer requires a re-scrape operation. - The YouTube Channel media library plugin now support YouTube channels that use a slightly different URL structure. For example "https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFighterAndTheKid/videos". It will not work 100% of the time as google didn't release an API call to translate custom channel names to a channel ID required to get a 100% reliable result. For more information, see: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/174903934 - The YouTube Media Library plugins did not take into account time-zone and daylight saving differences when displaying a video's publish time. - The Adjust Image fullscreen navigation interface did not list the active Aspect Ratio correctly. - The fullscreen information navigation interface did not display in the correct width under some conditions. - The full path displayed in the play history fullscreen navigation interface is now correctly truncated to more clearly display long file names.

Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) to hide the media library's meta-data and category filter sections, using the extra space to display more media. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) that controls whether erasing files to the recycle bin also removes their record from the play history. * Pressing the media library's refresh button will also refresh the scraped images, reflecting any manual changes to poster images. + For clarity, the media library's "Select / Unselect" and multiple selection functions have been split into two separate entries. + Opus audio duration is now retrieved when used with an ".ogg" container. + Opus audio duration is now retrieved by default when adding ".opus" files to the playlist. For existing Zoom Player users, to enable this feature you must click the "default" button next to the "Auto-Get Duration" section of the Advanced Options' "File Extension" page. - Disabling the "Flash active thumbnail on navigation actions" setting, at times prevented the media library thumbnail view from updating when entering categories. - Switching to audio mode with calibration patterns visible didn't hide the patterns, messing up the UI. - When opening the media library's functions page in an empty category, a cosmetic glitch showing a "-2 B" size would appear in the file size area. - Fixed a few cosmetic issues with residue text remaining on-screen after existing the media library's function menu.

When entering a folder for the first time, it will always start sorted by name, but any change to the sorting mode will now persist without affecting other folders in the category. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) that uses the fullscreen navigation UI to confirm when deleting the currently playing file. * You can now sort the media library in Random order. * You can now sort the media library by "Remaining Play Time" based on a percentage of the media's remaining play remaining. * When going up to the base folder in the file browsing fullscreen navigation interface, there is now a "Return to path list" option to make navigation more intuitive. + The "Auto-select last viewed file/folder on entering a folder" setting now works better when used in combination with the "Nav-Enter on media library category list opens the category at the root folder" setting. + When both "Auto-select last viewed file/folder on entering a folder" and "Nav-Enter on media library category list opens the category at the root folder" settings are enabled, entering a category will highlight the folder containing the last played file. + APE audio duration is now retrieved by default when adding ".ape" files to the playlist. For existing Zoom Player users, to enable this feature you must click the "default" button next to the "Auto-Get Duration" section of the Advanced Options' "File Extension" page. + The play history's "Erase" entries has been renamed to "Remove from Play History" to make it clearer the files themselves are not touched. + Switching to the 'system' sub-menu in the main fullscreen navigation interface will now switch the title from 'main' to 'system'. + Removing the currently playing media from play history will now close the playing media. + When completing playback of a media, the play history dialog and fullscreen navigation interfaces will no longer show a zero position or no position at all and will instead show the media's duration to signify the media has been played all the way through. + You can now use the Home/End keys within the media library fullscreen navigation interface's category filter section to access the top/bottom of the category list. - When the current monitor used a high-DPI setting, the icon on confirmation /warning/information dialogs appeared cropped. - Skin tinting did not affect confirmation/warning/information dialogs. - The play position bar in the media library's TV jukebox mode was not properly integrated when the thumbnail frame used round corners like in the Sunset skin. - The file browser fullscreen navigation interface suffered some issues when working with empty drives/root folders. - Fixed multiple issues when trying to erase network shared folders from within the file browsing fullscreen navigation interface: 1. Currently playing file did not close. 2. File was not removed from play history. - The main fullscreen navigation interface's 'system' sub-menu did not show relevant icons, only showing the system icon. - The Advanced Options dialog's "Help / Export" button's pop-up menu did not draw correctly on high-DPI displays. - The playlist's "Open item folder", "Save playing file" and "Rename/Move file" features did not work with network paths. - Deleting all play history entries could leave some entries listed in the dialog until the dialog was closed and reopened. - Trying to show a fullscreen navigation interface while Zoom Player is minimized now restores Zoom Player's window. - The Play History and Play History fullscreen navigation interfaces will now display the play position for the currently playing file correctly. - Creating folder using the file browsing fullscreen navigation interface failed when used under a network path. - Under some conditions, Zoom Player's media cache folder containing scraped metadata and images (thumbnails, posters, backdrops) would prune every time you tried closing Zoom Player, instead of once per week.

Version 16.1 beta 1 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * New interface Sound-FX system that triggers sounds when certain actions are taken (Adv. Options / Interface / Sounds) : 1. Zoom Player Startup. 2. Navigation motion (left/right/up/down). 3. Navigation actions (enter/back/esc). 4. Seeking (forward/backward/tracks). 5. Edge-Bump (media library). You can pick the volume level and the output sound device and limit some of the sounds if a video is playing or when using the mouse. * The media library can now display a media file's approximate bitrate (e.g. 9.2 Mpbs). You will need to re-scrape media to see this update. * You can now search for subtitles on movie folders, Zoom Player will use the first video file within the folder to find matching subtitle tracks. * New "Thumbnail icon size" setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) that controls the thumbnail media icon size for media/icons that do not have a thumbnail image. * New "Prevent mouse actions from moving or resizing the main window" setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size" that blocks the mouse from resizing or moving the main player window. * New "Skip requesting confirmation to erase file" setting (Adv. Options / Interface) to remove the confirmation request when erasing the playing media to the recycle bin. * New "Do not use scraped image as thumbnail" media library category setting. When enabled, Zoom Player will ignore any thumbnail downloaded using a scraping plugin and depending on other category settings, Zoom Player will try extracting a thumbnail from the video itself. * New "Do not use MediaInfo.dll to extract file metadata" media library category setting. When enabled, Zoom Player will not try to use MediaInfo.dll to extract metadata from files such as file format, codec, audio channels, etc. * New "exPLSortOrder" extended function capable of choosing the sorting order (ascending, descending). A value of "0" sets ascending and "1" sets descending. Please note that this function doesn't actually sort the list. * New "exPLSort" extended function to sort the current playlist. Possible values are: 0 : Sort by Name 1 : Sort by File Type (file extension) 2 : Sort by File Date 3 : Sort by File Size 4 : Sort by File Path (folder) 5 : Sort by Media Duration (in seconds) 6 : Sort Randomly (random order) * New "exPLRemoveItem" extended function that allows you to directly remove a playlist item. Please note that the first item in the playlist is actually "0" and not "1". + When reaching the top/bottom position in the media library's thumbnail view, Zoom Player now tries to maintain the current column when the top/bottom bump bar is triggered twice to perform a scroll to top/bottom action. + Improved support for long paths (over 250 characters) in the media library and file browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces (especially over network shared paths). + The minimum number of media library category columns has been changed from 3 to 2. - With the "opening media library always selects the playing media" setting enabled, renaming a file or creating a new folder could change the active path. - Fixed high-DPI issues with unskinned confirmation dialogs. - Fixed an erroneous OSD notification when using the media library's mini-menu to add a category "refresh" or "append" entries to the playlist. - Fixed an issue that caused the media library to freeze if there were missing bitmap files in the navigation skin folder. - While in fullscreen mode, clicking on the playlist editor or equalizer windows when positioned over a hot-corner would activate the hot-corner action. - Opening a streaming YouTube URL using DirectShow would not show the video's title in the play history until after the video was closed. - Showing the control bar for the very first time showed a black rectangle in the top left corner of the screen for a split second. - Fixed a crash in the Media Library's playlist category plugin when parsing certain ".m3u" playlists. - When using the media library's refresh button on a plugin based category, it accidentally cleared the media's titles. - The option dialog's audio visualization configuration options were completely broken. - The "fnRestart" and "fnRestartWithParam" functions restarted Zoom Player without first saving settings, which caused the restarted copy to revert some settings. - Playing a network shared file from command line would miss an external subtitle file in the same folder and no subtitles were shown.

Version 16.5 release candidate 1 has been released
Version 16.5 release candidate 1 has been released.
Download: http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml Changes in this beta: * New feature! + Changed feature! - Fixed feature! * Introducing Charcoal, Zoom Player's new default skin. Charcoal includes the same layout and functionality as the previous Onyx default skin but uses more subtle shading and cleaner elements to better fit with Windows 10's look and feel. The onyx skin is still shipping with Zoom Player, you can switch back by opening the skin selection dialog using the "N" keyboard macro or through the right-click menu. * It is now possible to play videos from Twitch.tv. * New "Mark as Seen" media library feature accessible through the functions menu (toggle the cogwheel, or right-arrow in list mode). When marking media or entire folders as seen, you will be prompted to "Mark as seen now" or "Mark as seen archive". Depending on your choice the marked entries will appear at the start or end of the play history list. * New "Select all Unseen" media library feature that selects every media or folder containing content that exists in the play history. * New "Select all Seen" media library feature that selects every media or folder containing content that does not exist in the play history. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) that controls whether the Media Library's media scraping indicator is visible within the path area. + A major redesign of the media library's scraping operation. Scraping of new content should no longer block thumbnail and meta-data updates for previously scraped content. This change should help Zoom Player feel more responsive. + Rewrote the audio TAG/ID3 scraping code for enhanced efficiency and reliability. + The file meta-data edit window's title now features only the file name and not the full path. + The media library's YouTube Playlist plugin is now more flexible when parsing YouTube playlist URL structures. YouTube uses multiple URL structures to present playlists and now the plugin should support all of them. + The "Force the navigation list or thumb view display to full width" and "Force the navigation list or thumb view to maximum width" settings now apply to the path area and not only to the media area. - Fixed a hidden crash that destabilized Zoom Player when closing the media library while the thumb view was in the process of smooth scrolling. - You can no longer open the windowed go to time/chapter editor if no media is currently playing. - YouTube has a bug in it's API that can cause duplicate entries to show when loading more entries. Previously in such cases, Zoom Player didn't show a thumbnail for a duplicate entry, at least this bug is fixed, can't do much about YouTube's API bugs. - The media library's scraping counter did not update if you exit the folder the current scraping operations were working on until the screen was updated. - Stopped the Create Ringtone function from attempting to work with network streams (it never worked with URLs, but still allowed you to select the position and fill in details into the save dialog). - Fixed a rare case where there media library would not respond to input correctly when playing a movie then exiting to the main navigation interface and then back to the media library. - Fixed a few small memory leaks.
