17.2 (July 12, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v17.2:

* The Media Library category editor has been redesigned for clarity and ease of use.

* The Media Library category editor can now be used to select and re-order multiple categories in one click, making it much easier and faster to re-order categories.

* The Media Library category editor has been extended with a "Move top" and "Move bottom" buttons to more easily arrange your category listing.

* New "Sort by Runtime" media library feature. In TV categories it sorts by the number of episodes in a folder and in Movie categories it sorts by the Movie's specified Runtime (not the media's duration which may include additional content such as credits).

* New "Resume Playback" media library feature that's accessible from the media library's functions page and the media library's mini-menu (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View). Resume playback looks for the first unwatched media in the folder and then resumes playback from that media. If no media from the folder has been previously played, it will play the first media in the folder (in alphabetical order by Title or File name).
If the last played media in the folder is over the "Consider media as watched" percentage threshold, the next media will play in alphabetical order by title (if previously scraped), otherwise by file name.

* New "Filter by Star Rating" media library feature. Filtering by Star Rating allows you to filter TV and Movie categories based on the media's Star Rating.
You can easily customize each media's star rating to your own personal value using the integrated metadata editor, accessible by right-clicking a media's thumbnail or through the media library's functions page.

* New "Filter by Content Rating" media library feature. Filtering by Content Rating allows you to filter TV and Movie categories based on the MPAA rating assigned to the TV Show or Movie, for example "PG-13" or "TV-MA".

* New "Hide Mouse Cursor in Windowed mode" setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Mouse / Setting) that allows the mouse cursor to auto-hide even when playing in a window (disabled by default).

* New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Smart Play / Settings) that adds a delay before connecting the Audio Renderer. This delay can help avoid audio connection errors when dealing with external Receiver/Amp that require a few seconds to initialize their audio interface after changing video resolution or refresh rate.

* Added support for new YouTube URL format when adding YouTube channels as media library categories:
Example: https://www.youtube.com/@CowboyKentRollins

* Support for a new YouTube LIVE URL structure, usually used when sharing a video the YouTube mobible app. Example: https://www.youtube.com/live/L5QXreqOrTA?feature=share
* Double-clicking a TV show thumbnail in the media library's TV Jukebox mode will now play the episode.

* New "Edit Last Played" option added to the windowed play history's right-click menu, allowing you to manually edit the "Last Played" field without actually playing the media.

* You can now reorder the Available Tags and Collections in the media library's cached metadata editor.

+ Zoom Player no longer requires "freeimage.dll" to load. The library which is used to display the ".WEBP" image format is now loaded dynamically as-needed, saving a bit of RAM while allowing Zoom Player to start slightly faster.

- The media library's unplayed media counter will now adjust the background box size if the unwatched media counter is 3 digits or more.

- Fixed a bug that prevented the media library's right/left bump actions from working after a PC was not reset for over a month.

- Some information was not displayed correctly in the media library for YouTube channels containing the "|" character in their channel name, video names or video description.

- Fixed a bug causing ".df" definition files not to save properly when playing from shared network paths (e.g. "\my_servershared_foldermedia.mkv").

- Wrote a work-around for a bug in Media Portal's TS File Reader filter to prevent Zoom Player from freezing on re-play.
The bug prevents ZP from seeking to 0 and re-playing by returning invalid media position values, requiring the media to be fully reloaded.

- Under some conditions, the media library's filter function would not highlight any of the available filtering options and would draw the scrollbar widget in the wrong position.

- Under some conditions, the media library's filter function would not bring the active filtering mode into view.

- Fixed an issue in the Media Library filtering function that would allow entries with a similar enough Collection/Tag to the active filter to be listed.

17.2 / 17.5 Beta (August 30, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v17.5 beta 1:
New :

* Two new settings (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Customization) that allow you to override the poster image and backdrop
for Movies and TV show categories.

The backdrop setting is an easy override, just place a "backdrop.jpg" or
"fanart.jpg" in the same folder and Zoom Player will use it automatically.

Updating a movie poster image requires you enable the "Do not use scraped
image as thumbnail / backdrop" setting for each of the media library's TV
or Movie categories, otherwise the poster image will still use the scraped
image (due to image-caching maintaining a copy of the old image) and then
re-scrape the movie folder.

17.2 / 18 Beta 2 (September 13, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 2:

New :

* A completely new IPTV (streaming live TV and VOD) interface (Adv. Options

Some features (icons, automated EPG/M3U downloads, etc) are still a work
in progress and are not part of this beta.

* New setting (enabled by default) to automatically hide the control bar
when clicking the video area, making it much easier to quickly hide
the control bar.

* You can now edit the last play time and date directly from the media
library meta-data editor.

Fixes :

- Using unicode characters in the ISO Auto-Mount command would not save
the path properly after restarting Zoom Player.

- The Advanced Options "System Sounds" and "Audio" sections did not scroll
smoothly when using the scroll bar.

interface with your own color scheme.

Change :

+ If an IPTV stream list contains mixed information with some streams
lacking a group specification, all such streams will now show under
an "Unspecified" group. If only one or no groups are specified,
grouping is disabled automatically.

17.2 / 18 Beta 4 (September 27, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 4:

New :

* The IPTV auto-updating EPG and Stream List downloads can now handle
".zip" and ".gz" archive URLs (e.g. "https://website.com/epg.zip").

* New IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that controls the
EPG font size.

* New IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to control whether

allows you to set any standard Zoom Player function to the button.

By default this button opens the new IPTV interface.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) that allows you to assign a
function to the new "Custom Action" button.

Fixes :

- The IPTV interface should feel a bit smoother (less flickering).

- In the media library's category editor, specifying a category name
containing unicode characters would not highlight the entry in
the category list after clicking.

- Media Title containing certain unicode characters (e.g. emoji) did
not show when loading some playlist formats (m3u, asx, b4s, wpl).

Latest version
17.2 / 18 Beta 5 (October 4, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 5:

New :

* You can now select IPTV streams as favorites and they automatically
show up under a "Favorites" group at the start of the stream list.

You can right click a favorite stream to re-arrange or sort your

* You can now hide IPTV groups from being listed by right-clicking the
group and selecting "Hide Group" or through the options dialog.

* Right-clicking an IPTV EPG entry will now show the program's description
and allow you to set a notification to remind you that the program is
about to start as well as specify that you want to automatically switch
to the program's stream in due time.

Notifications are remembered even if you close and re-open Zoom Player,
but they will not activate if Zoom Player is not running.

* New Hidden IPTV Group controls (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV).

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Control Bar / Timeline Area)
that allows you to control whether the timeline displays the current
playlist track number.

You can also toggle this setting through the control bar menu by

if something is playing).

* The Advanced Playlist Control interface is now accessible through the
right-click menu under the "Open Interface" section.
Change :

+ Optimized EPG parsing, improving load time by 5-15%.

+ The playlist editor's search feature has been enhanced to support
repeated search. Simply press Enter to cycle between all entries that
contain the searched term.

+ The Station Manager window now has an "X" in the corner to close the
window (previously you had to click the "close" button).

Fixes :

- The Media Libary's category editor's "Playlist" category option did
not display categories correctly if they had certain unicode characters
in the name (e.g. Emojis).

Latest version
17.2 / 18 RC1 (November 15, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 release candidate 1:
New :

* Opening the IPTV interface for the first time now offers you the option
to automatically download free, child-friendly, publicly available IPTV
channels from around the world through the Free-TV project:

GitHub - Free-TV/IPTV: M3U Playlist for free TV channels

M3U Playlist for free TV channels. Contribute to Free-TV/IPTV development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com




* Using the "Play Stream" button on the IPTV interface will no longer try
to play an EPG program and will always try to play the channel live.

* New "Play Program" button on the IPTV interface. The "Play Program"
button is used to play archived IPTV programs. If the channel does not
support archive playback or tif he selected program is no longer
(or not yet) archived, the "Play Program" button will remain disabled.

* New "Add Free Channels" button (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that
adds free, child-friendly, publicly available IPTV channels from around
the world through the Free-TV project.

* You can now control outdated EPG programs background colors
(Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV), making it easier to distinguish
which programs have already aired.

* Support for more IPTV Archive playback schemes.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to specify the symbol
used to highlight archive channels in the IPTV stream list.
Fixes :

- No longer marking IPTV channels as archive if their "catchup-days"
value is "0".

- That Playlist Editor's search box did not support unicode characters.

- You can now use Ctrl+V to paste Unicode text into the Playlist Editor's
search box (including special characters such as Emoji).

- Fixed a bug that could cause Zoom Player to freeze when trying to
play YouTube URLs containing a space character after the URL.
--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 10:
New :

* Support for IPTV Archive playback. For channels that support it,
double-click the program to start playing it. You can easily identify
Archive supporting channels by the icon next to their name.

There are multiple implementations of IPTV Archive support and I did
my best to make sure all were covered, but if something is not working
as intended, let me know on Zoom Player's sub-reddit.

* New IPTV Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that clears the
playlist before streaming. This setting is enabled by default,
disabling it adds the channel to the playlist and play it without
clearing the playlist.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Playlist) to prevent embedded
playlists (playlist files within playlist files) from loading when
Zoom Player loads a playlist. This setting is enabled by default as
embedded playlist can lead to unfortunate infinite-loops cases and
other stability problems.
Change :

+ Playing media from the Advanced Playlist Control now ensures the newly
played item is visible in the Playlist Editor.

+ I Didn't like the behavior of the new setting (enabled by default)
that automatically hide the control bar when clicking the video area.
What annoyed me was that it was canceling my action, so if I wanted
to pause the video, it would ignore the pause action and just hide
the control bar. Now I adjusted this feature to hide the control bar
and not block the intended action.
Fixes :

- Fixed a bug that caused the IPTV caches to get wiped clear when Zoom
Player was pruning the media library thumbnail and meta-data cache.

- Playing an entry from the Advanced Playlist Control interface no longer
loses the entry's selection.
--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 9:
New :

* Added a clock to the top of the IPTV's Electronic Program Guide section.

* Added a button to clear the IPTV channel logo cache (Adv. Options /
Playback / IPTV). Clearing the logo cache forces Zoom Player to
re-download the channel icons.
Change :

+ If an IPTV channel doesn't have a logo or ID in the M3U playlist file,
Zoom Player now tries to use an icon from the EPG XML file based
on the channel name (or partial name) and caches the logo so it shows
even if you keep the EPG panel closed.

+ IPTV Stream Channel -> EPG matching by Channel name (when a Channel ID
is not present) now works when the EPG contains multiple channel names
for the same channel.

+ IPTV Stream Channel -> EPG matching by Channel name (when a Channel ID
is not present) now matches even if there is an uppercase/lowercase
mismatch in the name or the EPG contains only a partial name.

+ IPTV Stream Channel -> EPG matching by Channel name is now automatic if
no EPG data was found using the Channel's ID.

+ The IPTV section of the options dialog is now a lot more informative
with regards to the Playlist/EPG download status (or failure).

+ Closing and re-opening the IPTV interface will now maintain the
EPG listing.
Fixes :

- Refreshing the IPTV list after a new Playlist or EPG finished downloading
should now maintain open groups and EPG listing.

- Fixed a bug that prevented some IPTV channel logo from saving properly
and may have even caused the wrong icon to show up for some channels.

- The IPTV Stream list did not display correctly if specifying a DPI value
higher than 100% in Zoom Player's options.
--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 8:
New :

* New Wakeup on LAN feature (Adv. Options / System) that allows you to
turn on PCs. This feature is extremely useful when using NAS (Network
Attached Storage) devices as your source for the media and you only
want to turn them on when using Zoom Player.

With this new feature, you can specify multiple MAC addresses to wake
several PCs and you can trigger the wake-up action with a choice of
conditions such as:

1. When starting Zoom Player
2. When opening the Media Library
3. When opening the File Navigator

If there are other use-cases where you would want Zoom Player to
wake-up remote PCs, let me know.

* New button on the IPTV Interface to toggle 50% window transparency.

* New IPTV setting to merge duplicate channels. This can be useful
if you're using multiple EPG files/links that contain EPG info
on the same channel.

* New IPTV setting (enabled by default) to keep the IPTV interface
window on top of other windows and applications while Zoom Player
is in fullscreen mode.

* New IPTV setting to control the screen ratio between the stream list
and the EPG. The default value is 1:1.5 (Making the EPG 150% wider
than the stream list).

* If an IPTV channel doesn't have a logo in the M3U playlist file,
Zoom Player now tries to use an icon from the EPG XML file and
caches the logo so it shows even if you keep the EPG panel closed.
Change :

+ To prevent distracting confirmation messages popping up, the IPTV
interface no longer prompts you to update the list once an IPTV M3U
playlist or XML EPG finished downloading, instead it will enable a
refresh button which you can click at your leisure.

+ Enhanced IPTV stream list keyboard navigation.

+ When opening the IPTV interface with the EPG hidden, the EPG data will
not load until the EPG section is opened which results in the IPTV
interface becoming accessible faster.

+ When loading IPTV playlists, if a channel does not contain ID
information, Zoom Player will try to match EPG entries based on
the channel name instead.

+ IPTV channel logos should appear faster if there are broken links in
the M3U playlist file.

+ Closing and opening the IPTV interface window now restores the previously
opened group layout.
Fixes :

- Resizing the IPTV interface window could leave trails on screen until
the stream list was scrolled.

- Right clicking a history entry and selecting "copy" in the playback
history interface returned a jumble result when copying links.

- The scroll bar on the description section of the IPTV program information
dialog accessible by right-clicking an EPG program did not show/hide
properly based on the window size.
--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 7:
New :

* You can now easily multiply Zoom Player's windowed skin resolution
from the skin selection dialog (press "N" to open) to better match
Zoom Player's skin to your monitor's resolution.

* You can now time-shift IPTV channels in the EPG by right-clicking an
EPG entry.

* New IPTV Safe mode setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that
blocks access to Hiding Groups, Adding/Modifying favorites and
EPG Time Shifting.
Change :

+ Zoom Player will load slightly faster when using a multiplied
resolution skin.

+ Zoom Player's title text now scrolls if there is no room to show
the entire text.
Fixes :

- Filtering the media library by Genre stopped working.
--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 6:
New :

* This feature has been requested by many. The ability to scale
Zoom Player's skinned windows to make them easier to use on
4K and 8K displays:

New Setting (Adv. Options / System) that allows you to resize
the current windowed skin by 200-800%. Please note that this
setting may not work well with some older Zoom Player skins.

* New button added to the IPTV interface that allows you to toggle
the EPG display on and off.

* New IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to hide old EPG
entries (programs that have already aired).

* New Search feature in the media library category editor.
Change :

+ Redesigned the media library category editor layout. Hopefully it's
clearer and easier to work with.

+ Pressing ESC with the player window in focus now closes the IPTV
interface window.

+ Pressing ESC now closes the "Patterns" interface instead of having
to cycle through every pattern.
Fixes :

- You can no longer set an IPTV program start notification or switching
to the live stream if the EPG entry is older than the current time
(has already finished airing).

- The IPTV notification message before a program starts will now remain
visible for several more seconds.

- Loading M3U playlists containing links to ot...

v. 17.2 / 18 RC2 [ 26.11.2023 ]
Latest version
17.2 / 18 RC2 (November 26, 2023)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v18 release candidate 2:

New :

* New IPTV color-highlighting for the playing channel and program
(on channels that support archive playback). You can tweak the
colors in the options dialog.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to hide outdated archive
channel EPG entries that are too old to stream.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Playlist) that specifies the
default Playlist Load / Save folder. If nothing is specified, the standard
windows supplied path is used.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Playlist) that controls whether
Zoom Player should ask you for a confirmation when you clear the playlist.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) to control whether text that
has no room to display fully starts scrolling. Currently this only
applies to the main window's title text.
Change :

+ The IPTV EPG files are now loaded and parsed in a background thread. This
means that the interface should open quickly and you can close it even
before the EPG data is finished parsing so the entire interface should
feel faster.

This change should also fix issues caused when Windows thinks Zoom Player's
window has become unresponsive while parsing EPG data (for example, on some
systems I got reports that the IPTV window would lose it's "on top" value).
Fixes :

- Trying to play a video with an external audio track, for example:
"myvideo.mkv" and "myvideo.mp3" in the same folder with the "Load External
Audio tracks" setting enabled, resulted in a lot of instability.

I rewrote the whole interface and now it's much more stable. Please note
that this feature also requires Zoom Player's DSP filter to be enabled
(Adv. Options / Playback / Audio - Enable Internal DSP Filter).

- The Playlist Editor's "Load Playlist" feature accidentally listed media
files instead of playlists by default.

- The Folder Browser dialog should no longer appear partially off-screen or
hidden by the task bar.

- Fixed an IPTV EPG Filtering issue where entering a value into the
filter box and then switching to another channel would make it impossible
to clear the filtering value.

- Under some conditions, the play history fullscreen navigation interface
could show a value of "00:00:-1" for the last play position.

- When using a non-default font, the play history last play position could
mess with the alignment of the file/url.

- IPTV Logo caching from EPG files did not work properly for some entries
based solely on channel name.

- Playing too many broken URLs or files is sequence could have resulted in
play history entries being generated even though nothing was played.

- Reduced the chances of showing IPTV EPG information for the wrong channel
when using badly crafted playlist or EPG sources.

Latest versıon of Zoom Player
v. 18.0 / 19.1 [ 10.01.2024 ]

Latest version
18 / 19.0 Beta 1 (January 10, 2024)

--- What's new in Zoom Player v19 beta 1:

New :

* Zoom Player has integrated libVLC, the media engine used by the
VLC media player. This integrating means that several new features
that were unique to VLC are now available in Zoom Player, leveraging
the reliability of VLC with Zoom Player's powerful and customizable
user interface.

In theory, Zoom Player's default choice of Microsoft's DirectShow
media engine is superior to libVLC in a lot of ways. DirectShow is
a lower-level, allowing me to develop unique features that are
impossible to do with libVLC. At the same time and due to it's
complexity, there may be cases where libVLC can be more reliable
than DirectShow.

By default only BluRay discs play using libVLC due to libVLC's support
for playing BluRay discs with menus. However, since this is Zoom Player
you're reading about, the ultimate choice of which engine to use is up
to you!

You can enable libVLC specifically for BluRay discs, IPTV streaming,
media playback (by file extension) and open-ended streaming (by URL,
for example "youtube") under the new advanced options section (Adv.
Options / Playback / libVLC).

To use libVLC you must either install the latest version of the 32bit
VLC player or install libVLC from the install center (it does not
conflict with existing VLC installations).

Most Zoom Player features are compatible with the new media engine:

- BluRay Playback with Menus!
Enabled by default, opening a drive, folder or the "index.bdmv" file
begins BluRay playback. Menus are navigated using the standard navigation
keys (up/down/left/right Arrows + Enter keys). The same limitation that
apply to playing BluRay discs in VLC applies when using the libVLC media
engine in Zoom Player, along with any glitches.

This means that you must have Java installed for the BluRay menus to work
and that playing encrypted discs will not work by default. As for the
glitches, I encountered cases where 4K BluRay videos can freeze and
verified that the same issue happens in the original VLC player.

- Aspect Ratio Controls:
Zoom Player's powerful aspect ratio controls are fully supported.

- Subtitle Display:
Other than re-positioning the subtitles on-screen, most of Zoom Player
subtitle features should work great with libVLC.

- Add Subtitle Track on Drag & Drop / Add Sub file:
You can easily add subtitle files by drag & dropping files on
Zoom Player's window or by opening a subtitle file after the
video is loaded.

- Subtitle Synchronization Adjustments:
You can adjust subtitle synchronization through the standard keyboard
macros (Alt+Ctrl+"+" and Alt+Ctrl+"-" on the keypad).

- Color Controls:
Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue color controls are available.

- Audio Framework Device Selection:
libVLC is pretty flexible in it's audio device selection offering three
different frameworks (MMDevice, DirectSound and WaveOut). Zoom Player
makes it easy to choose the framework that works best for your PC.

- Audio Track Selection & Cycle:
Easily select and cycle between multiple audio tracks.

- Audio Synchronization Adjustments:
You can adjust audio synchronization using the standard keyboard macros
(Shift+"+" and Shift+"-" on the keypad).

- Virtual Video Editing with BluRay Movies with Menus:
The scene cut feature that allows you to virtually edit videos should now
be compatible with BluRay titles with Menus when using libVLC. However,
this feature has not been heavily tested so please let me know on reddit
if it's not working as expected.

- Play History (position, audio track, subtitle track):
Zoom Player's play history feature which can save and restore the last
play position, active audio, subtitle tracks and more is fully compatible.

- Play Rates (fast play, slow motion):
Fast Play and Slow Motion might even work on more media formats than
supported by DirectShow, give it a try.

- Load Embedded Chapters (Bookmarks):
Using libVLC, Zoom Player can read embedded chapters or bookmarks from
both media files and BluRay titles.

- Load External Audio Tracks for playing video:
Full support for one or more external audio tracks.

- Play Next Frame:
The next frame feature is fully supported.

- Screenshot:
The screenshot keyboard macro (Alt+"F") is fully compatible with libVLC
with the exception that the screenshot file format is limited to ".png".

+ And since this is just a beta, there's more to come!

* New "Pause closes unseekable live stream (otherwise ignored)" setting
that controls if Zoom Player closes a live stream when pausing or
if the pause is ignored.

Previously the hard-coded default was to close the stream, the new
(configurable) default is to ignore the pause command.

* New button on the IPTV interface to quickly open the IPTV settings
page in the advanced options dialog.
Change :

+ To support chapters (bookmarks) using the VLC Media Engine, I had to
rewrite nearly all of Zoom Player's code related to managing chapters.
Please let me know if something broke. As a bonus, you can now use
emojis and other special Unicode characters in the chapter names.

+ Media chapters with no titles will now show a "no title" title.

+ The IPTV stream list group layout (open/close) is now saved and
restored even after closing Zoom Player.

+ The Custom Action button's hint when hovering with the mouse now lists
the assigned function and not just a general "Custom Action".

+ Cleaned up a few of the advanced options dialog pages.
Fixes :

- Trying to switch to the next audio track no longer tries to set
an audio track if there is only one track present (caused muted
audio for a second or two).

- Failing to play an IPTV stream will no longer highlight that
stream as the active stream.

- You should no longer be able to erase embedded chapter entries
(it didn't really do anything).

- Fixed all sorts of goofs that were possible through the chapter editor.
