Latest versıon of Zoom Player
v. 18 / 19 Beta 2 [ 24.01.2024 ]
Latest version
18 / 19.0 Beta 2 (January 24, 2024)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v19 beta 2:

New :

* Running Zoom Player on a fresh install will now asks if you would
like to enable "Performance Mode".

Choosing "Yes" does two things:

1. Enables D3D11 hardware accelerated video decoding in LAV Filters,
a requirement for smooth 4K video playback.

2. Sets the Video Renderer to MadVR, enabling HDR video support,
high quality video scaling, hardware accelerated subtitle
rendering and smoother motion.

Both settings can be modified in the advanced options dialog:
Adv. Options / Playback / Video

* A new "Help" section has been added to the right-click menu. The new
help section can quickly bring up the keyboard shortcut list or quick
usage guides for many of Zoom Player's popular interfaces.

* New keyboard macros to toggle libVLC playback:
Alt+"6" - Toggle libVLC IPTV playback (enabled/disabled)
Alt+"7" - Toggle libVLC BluRay playback (enabled/disabled)
Alt+"8" - Toggle libVLC Media file playback (enabled/disabled)
Alt+"9" - Toggle libVLC Streaming playback (enabled/disabled)

These toggles still require that you re-open the playing media
to take affect.

* The right-click menu has been extended with a new "Help" section.
The help section provides quick access to the keyboard shortcut list
and quick usage guides for most of Zoom Player's interfaces.

* The Play History dialog (Alt+"H") has gotten a face-lift, an option
whether to clear the playlist when playing from history, a button
that automatically sets the column sizes based on the current window
size and you can drag the play history window with the mouse by
clicking in any empty space.

* New "/infojson" command line parameter that can be used to query
a running instance of Zoom Player for information. The results
are returned in the windows clipboard as a UTF8 encoded JSON string.

This feature can be used in combination with Window's Powershell to
monitor and control Zoom Player entirely through the command line,
without requiring a TCP/IP connection to access the more advanced API.

Special characters are encoding using standard JSON character encoding.

If no additional parameters are specified, all fields are returned.
To get specific results, you can use a combination of one or more of
the following:

PlayState - A number representing the current play state where
0 : Closed
1 : Stopped
2 : Paused
3 : Playing

MediaName - UTF8 string containing the playing file name or URL.

Title - UTF8 string containing the playing media's title.

Position - The playing position in seconds.

Duration - The playing duration in seconds.

PlayIndex - The current playlist play index.

Playlist - UTF8 string containing the current playlist, each media
entry is specified as a part of a JSON array.

AudTrack - The current audio track number.

SubTrack - The current subtitle track number.

Example to get the playing media name, title, duration and position:
zplayer.exe /infojson:MediaName,Title,Duration,Positi on
Change :

+ The keyboard shortcuts list (F1 keyboard shortcut) is now a single
dialog which opens much faster and is no longer a part of the options
dialog which takes longer to open.

+ The "Toggle Control Bar" right-click menu option has been re-located
to the menu's root level.

+ If the playing media has only one audio track, it will no longer
be listed in the Stream Selection section of the right-click menu.

+ If MadVR is selected as the Video Renderer without being installed,
Zoom Player now notifies you and falls back to the EVR renderer.
Fixes :

- A bug caused some information dialogs to show the information in
the window's title and the actual title in the windows body.

- Fixed several libVLC related bugs,

v. 19.3 [ 09.02.2024 ]
- What's new in Zoom Player v19 beta 3:

New :

* You can now use libVLC to cast the playing video to supported ChromeCast
devices. All you need to do is open "Adv. Options / Playback / libVLC" and
scan for the ChromeCast device. Any content played through the libVLC engine
will now display on the selected device. Please consider that it can take a
few seconds longer to open media files for casting.

* MPC-VR can now be selected as a Video Renderer for media playback. It is
not fully supported (subtitles, pixel-shaders and other unique features
for the video renderer will not work presently.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Control) that allows you to rollback
the current play position when resuming playback from the Pause state. This
feature is useful if you have an external receiver that requires a few
seconds to restore the audio when playback resumes.
Change :

+ If you previously used as Custom Video Renderer for media playback, you must
re-select the custom option (Adv. Options / Playback / Video).

+ Using the Next/Previous Track features now ensures the newly loaded track
is visible in the playlist editor.

+ Cleaned up some dialogs that had elements that were too close together,
especially under Windows 11.
Fixes :

- Scraping TheMusicDB should work once again.

- When Zoom Player's DSP filter is unable to connect to the audio renderer,
the DSP filter is now removed so Smart Play will not fail (fallback to
Microsoft's method of choosing components can be unstable), increasing
overall stability for badly authored media files.

- Fixed a bug that caused the media library background image to be overlaid
twice with a slight offset, slowing down opening a folder in the media
library a little bit and causing visual ghosting effects (was really hard
to see with the default background image).

v. 19.0 Beta 4 [ 22.02.2024 ]
Latest version
18 / 19.0 Beta 4 (February 22, 2024)

* The playlist editor has received support for multiple playlists
that you can instantly switch between. Multiple playlists are
loaded in a background thread so even if you use massive
playlists with 1000's of items, it should not have much of an
impact Zoom Player's load and close time performance.
Press the new multi-playlist button on the playlist editor (top
left corner) to add the current playlist, a playlist from a file
or manage the multiple playlists (remove, rename, reorder).

Part 2 : www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GLUuymiz_Y


* New "Cast to Device" feature on the main right-click menu and
available as a keyboard shortcut (Shift+"/") that allows you to
Cast the currently playing media to a Chromecast compatible
device. This feature does requires libVLC is installed but does
not require you to play the current media with libVLC (the
playback engines automatically switch as the media is casted).

* New "1510" Zoom Player API message that is triggered when using
next/previous chapter. Returns the chapter's position in seconds

Fixes :

- Fixed a bug that caused the background image to show for a split-
second when dragging & dropping a media file on top of the player
window.

v.18 / 19.0 RC3 Beta [ 05.06.2024 ]

Latest version
18 / 19.0 RC3 (June 5, 2024)

What's new in Zoom Player v19 release candidate 3:

New :

* Added MPC Audio Decoder Smart Play profiles for many supported
audio Codecs.

* The media library YouTube plugins can now detect Live and Upcoming
videos and display this information on the thumbnail.

* The media library YouTube plugins now filter out private videos.

* In order to clear up some screen real estate, I added a new setting
(Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that hides the EPG program end time.
This setting is enabled by default, but can be disabled to restore the
previous program listing style.
Change :

+ Double clicking on a media library category in the media library
category editor no longer tries to configure the category, instead
Zoom Player now opens the media library within the clicked category,
allowing the category editor dialog to be used as a navigation hack
to quickly switch between categories.

+ Trying to open the media library category editor when the dialog was
already open but obscured now brings the editor window to the top.

+ Made a small user experience update to the IPTV advanced options
dialog page.

+ Playing a media from the play history without clearing the playlist
now shifts the playlist track listing to make sure the newly played
item is visible.

+ You can now configure the media library's YouTube plugins to select
the number of entries to download at one time, either 25 or 50.
25 being the default value to preserve YouTube's API quota limitations.
Fixes :

- Fixed a freeze when trying to close the IPTV window while logos were
still being downloaded.

- The playlist's "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" functions did not
function well, clearing the currently playing media index and
introducing cosmetic glitches.

- Fixed MPC-VR rotation (Shift+"R") and debug info (Ctrl+"J") so it
now works with videos that do not contain subtitles.

- Under very rare conditions, the media library's highlight on the
active entry would not show for the right-most column.

- Loading an ".M3U" playlist would not always get the track's
title correctly.

- Rotating the video using MPC-VR resulted in a distorted aspect
ratio when Zoom Player was set to the Derived (Automatic) aspect
ratio.

- Adding the multi-playlist feature actually broke the previously
active track from being restored with regular playlists.

- Using the media library category editor to add a broken link as a
YouTube playlist based category would create an "unknown" category
that didn't work. Now an error is returned in such cases.

- Fixed a bug that prevented the newly played playlist from entering
into view in the playlist editor window under some circumstances.

- Fixed a rare case that could have caused the skinned right-click
context menu to appear twice on screen with one of the menus
remaining stuck on screen.

- Enabling the stop button to close the playing media (local file or
stream) would not update the taskbar button hover controls.

- Even when fullscreen navigation safe mode was enabled, the Trash
icon was still visible in the playlist and file browser interfaces.

- Zoom Player behaved badly when trying to use libVLC to play
streams that are no longer available.

- Configuring the various media library YouTube plugins could cause
old setting to appear when trying to configure two different YouTube
plugins (e.g. "Channel" and "Trending") within the same session.

Latest versıon of Zoom Player
v.19.5 / 19.5 RC Beta [ 29.08.2024 ]

Latest version
19.5 (August 28, 2024)

What's new in Zoom Player v19.5:

* IPTV Xtream Codes support.
Zoom Player supports three different Xtream Codes modes to access the stream playlist and EPG (electronic program guide) information. The modes exist to offer a fallback solution in case your IPTV provider is only offering partial support for Xtream Codes' feature-set. 1. Player API : This is the most recent Xtream Codes API. It uses network queries to obtain both the Stream Playlists and EPG data. TV Series and Movies are handled separately from live streams, providing an enhanced navigation experience.
However, the EPG information is only accessible on a per-stream level and not as a whole, preventing the Global Filtering and EPG Grid features from working. 2. Player API + XML (default) : By leveraging the Player API you still benefit from the separate handling of TV Series and Movies. With the entire EPG downloaded as a single XML file, the Global Filtering and EPG Grid features have access to the full program guide and can work as intended.
3. M3U + XML : This is the most basic mode with both the EPG and the stream playlists downloaded as single-file databases. Global Filtering and the EPG Grid features work as intended, however TV Series and Movies are left to the graces of your IPTV provider, which means they may be harder to access and usually lack EPG or Meta-Data information (e.g. Bitrate).

* New IPTV Electronic Program Guide Grid. The EPG grid is an alternative program guide view that lists the episode guide of multiple streams in an easy to scroll and filter interface.
You can access the EPG grid by pressing the "#" button within the IPTV window. The EPG grid does not rely on the stream list and can be used without specifying any stream sources. The EPG grid's look and feel can be fully customized by pressing the menu button and choosing "Customize". You can use this same menu to "Magnetize" the EPG Grid window to the IPTV window.

* New IPTV global episode guide filter. The new global filter works across all streams, filtering out streams that do not contain a program title containing the filter text. Global filtering is very useful when searching for a particular program or live event across all available streams. Please note that performing the initial global search triggers a one time stream indexing operation that may up to a few minutes on some hardware.

* Added support for H.266/VVC, AV1 and Opus detection and icons to the media library.

* New IPTV menu button on the IPTV window. The new menu includes: 1. Only show favorites (new feature, hides all other streams). 2. Toggle Opacity (previously a button). 3. IPTV Settings (previously a button).

* Added a new setting (Adv. Options / System / Screen Saver & Capture) that allows you to specify if screenshots should be saved in the same folder as the video currently being played (Only applies to local files).

* Added a new setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video / Aspect Ratio) to reset the aspect ratio to "Derived" when opening a new media (disabled by default).

* Added a new setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) to automatically restore the previously active video aspect ratio on replay (disabled by default). This new feature will only work for videos that was previously played by this version of Zoom Player (or newer) since previous versions did not save the active aspect ratio.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to sort the Group list by name.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Naviation / Settings) to prevent the fullscreen playlist and streaming navigation interfaces from closing when playing a new file.

* New Settings to seek forward/backward a percentage of the media's duration. Te default seek distance is 10% of the media's duration but you can change this value under "Adv. Options / Playback / Controls". By default, the two new functions are assigned to the Ctrl+Alt+"[" and Ctrl+Alt+"]" keyboard shortcuts.

* New Settings to seek forward/backward a percentage of the media's duration when right-clicking the timeline. The default action is still seeking in seconds, you can change this to percent under - "Adv. Options / Interface / Mouse / Settings".

* Added settings to control which Zoom Player function is triggered when using the mouse wheel while holding either the Alt, Ctrl or Shift keys. The default values are: Mouse Wheel + Alt : Seek 5 seconds backwards/forwards Mouse Wheel + Ctrl : Seek 20 seconds backwards/forwards Mouse Wheel + Shift : Seek 120 seconds backwards/forwards

Latest versıon of Zoom Player
Versıon : 21.4
UPDATE : 26.06.2025

Latest version

21.4 (May 26, 2025)
What's new in Zoom Player v21.4:

New :


* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Media Server) that determines whether to list collections alongside categories in the Media Server Browser (PLEX / Emby / Jellyfin).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Media Server) that determines whether to list collections within categories in the Media Server Browser. This feature is limited to PLEX as it's the only media server that associates collections with a specific category.
* When creating a new category, the Media Server media library plugin will now list Emby/Jellyfin collections. Emby/Jellyfin collections are not locked to a specific type (e.g. movies/tv) so every collection is selectable, regardless of the category type you are creating. This feature can be disabled in the plugin's configuration page.
* When creating a new category, the Media Server media library plugin will now list PLEX collections based on the category type you are creating. Unlike Emby/Jellyfin, PLEX locks collections to specific categories. This feature can be disabled in the plugin's configuration page.
* The Media Server media library plugin now lists PLEX collections within categories. This feature can be disabled in the plugin's configuration page.
Changed :
+ The IPTV Setup wizard has been enhanced for clarity and includes new Information, Skip and Quit buttons.
+ When using the media server browser interface, going up a folder now restores the exact position of the list prior to entering the folder (the list's top index is now saved along with the item's index).
+ The MP4 and Matroska (MKV) smart play profiles have been split in two. Each format now has two smart play profiles, one for local file playback and one for streaming, allowing you to pick different components depending on whether you're playing a local file or streaming from a media server.
+ The Media Server Browser's pop-up hint that appears when hovering items is now a lot less annoying. The hint will only show when hovering over items that don't have enough space to display and instantly hides when hovering over other items.
+ Emby/Jellyfin collections are no longer listed as a "Collections" folder, this has been replaced with the collection setting above.
+ Updated MediaInfo to the latest version.
+ Small quality of life enhancements throughout the UI.
Fixed :
- When moving Zoom Player's window between monitors should no longer pause or snap the window back to the original monitor.
- Zoom Player will no longer adjust the minimal window size based on your monitor's resolution as it broke some features. This does mean there can be some visual artifacts as the control overlay gradient backgrounds may overlap each other if the playback window is tiny.
- Right-clicking a media library entry did not select the entry unless it was in a
[COLOR=inherit !important]TV[/COLOR] or Movie category.

- Fixed a case where another Zoom Player window could appear between the main player window and the control overlay.

- The Home Theater quick search feature was partially broken.

- The quick search feature now works on with both media file/url or title in the play history Home Theater interface.

- When using the YouTube IFRAME player with the Chromium engine it was possible that seeking ahead/back multiple times in a row in under 250ms would seek in place.
- The trial version of Zoom Player MAX/IPTV no longer asks you to upgrade on first run.

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).

20 = Hide IPTV stream selection window
21 = Show Media Server browser window

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

to your key file:
nvAddKey(None,9,nvTab)

returns the current skin mode. The skin mode is a 32bit value with each
bit indicating whether a skin group section is active.

returns the current Media mode skin file.

* Zoom Player's TCP/IP has been extended with a new "0320" 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.

+ 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.

+ You can no longer show the control overlay by mouse movement when the "Please Wait" window is visible.
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.

- When specifying a custom font that is incompatible (e.g. vertical text font starting with the "@" character) with overlay interfaces or was uninstalled later on, the overlay interfaces did not show any text.
Now in such cases, the Arial font is used as a fallback.

- 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.

- When using Zoom Player's trial version, the time viewing limit only counts actual play time and will no longer bug you to upgrade when you're just setting up.

- When using Zoom Player's trial version and the time viewing limit expires Zoom Player did not close itself properly.

- 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.

- Fixed a glitch when Zoom Player's window is positioned in between two different monitors, the OSD action pop-up message could have appeared in the wrong position and even flicker a bit.

Latest versıon of Zoom Player
Versıon : 21.5.1
UPDATE : 04.08.2025

21.5.1 (August 4, 2025)

What's new, changed and fixed:
Changed :

+ I changed how the trial version works by removing the view time limits entirely. Zoom Player is now limited to running for 20 days after a fresh install, letting you know how many days remain on each run.

+ Optimized the IPTV M3U parsing and overall load time by 20-50% depending on the playlist size.

+ The IPTV window should open faster when using playlists with 1000's of different groups.

+ I've enhanced the keyboard shortcut help dialog (Press "F1" to show) to allow filtering of the keyboard shortcut list, making it much easier and faster to find what you're looking for.

+ Closing and re-opening the IPTV window after playing an archive (catchup) program restores the currently playing program into view.

+ Small enhancements to Zoom Player's Install Center experience, making it easier to cancel downloads and showing clearer messaging.

+ The OSD time/date display (Alt+Ctrl+"D" keyboard shortcut) will now switch automatically between the 12H AM/PM and 24H time formats based on the Windows setting which you can easily change in Windows regional settings.
Fixed :

- Using the "MPC Audio Renderer" component as the audio renderer could have triggered a freeze if no audio devices were actually installed on the PC.

- Playing an IPTV stream containing Unicode characters in the name could have resulted in "????" characters displaying as the title.

- Even though the IPTV's fix Player API encoding setting was disabled, it still got applied in some cases, causing properly encoded non- English characters and Emoji to appear as question marks.

- Fixed a bug where if the playlist or equalizer windows were open, clicking on another application would send Zoom Player to the back of all currently opened windows applications or mess with the magnetize state.

- Fixed a case where pressing the play button on Modern UI with the playlist window visible could cause the Modern UI overlay to disappear behind the player window, making it inaccessible until hidden by timeout or triggered through a keyboard shortcut.

- In trial mode, the "please upgrade" window could appear in a different monitor than the player window.

UPTADE: 29.10.2025

21.5.1 / 22 Beta 3 (October 29, 2025)

* New feature on the right-click menu of the Video Streaming window
to open streams/favorites in a new instance.

* New feature on the Video Streaming window to open previously played
streams in a new player instance.

* To make it easier to mobilize Video Streaming subscription across
devices, I've added a new feature (Adv. Options / Playback / Video
Streaming) to Disable or Enable Video Streaming subscriptions.

Disabled subscriptions will not show up in the Video Streaming
Windowed or Home Theater interfaces and automated/manual databases
updates will remain paused until the subscription is re-enabled.

* Added the option to show the current time on the control overlay's
timeline area (Adv. Options / Interface / Control Overlay). The new
letter to show the current time in either of the left/center/right
screen zones is "M".
Changed :

+ When using the Video Streaming Window in "Player API" subscription
mode, clicking on VOD entries will now show a visual "Loading ..."
indicator in the EPG panel to make it clearer that information is
being downloaded.

+ The Control Overlay's timeline can now be used to seek in sub-second
values. Mostly noticeable on short videos.
Fixed :

- Fixed several stability issues related to the Video Streaming window.

- Fixed a case when using the control overlay interface to open a window
(e.g. The playlist editor) would cause the control overlay to become
hidden behind the video window.

- Trying to play an archive (catchup) program from a favorite stream
stopped working in v22 beta 2, showing the live stream instead.

- The "Adv. Options / Playback / Video Streaming" setting for "Playing
a stream clears the playlist" did not function with the playlist
still being cleared with this setting unchecked.

- Showed the wrong Video Streaming window's EPG selected entry
background color for VOD entries.

- Showed the wrong duration for some Video Streaming "Player API"
VOD entries.

- Video Streaming "Player API" subscription VOD entries could show
"null" instead of no text at times where the provider did not include
certain texts such as Title and Plot.

- Closing the Video Streaming Window as stream icons/posters were queued
for download/decoding prevented the icons/posters from being downloaded/
decoded when reopening the window.

- Due to a bug in character encoding, it was impossible to login to
Emby/Jellyfin media servers when using a username or password
containing certain characters.

- The internal screen saver did not activate when hovering with the
mouse cursor over the control bar's timeline area.

- Zoom Player's internal screen saver should now show the time in the
Windows selected regional format (24h/12h).

- Fixed a bug that prevented the timeline thumbnail preview from working
when the preview thumbnail and playing video shared the same resolution.

- Zoom Player's error dialog (in red) did not have a minimum size
limit, causing it to break if the error message was too short.
It also flickered when hovering over the buttons and the buttons
themselves were triggered on mouse "down" instead of "click",
making the dialog less intuitive.
