--- What's new in Zoom Player v11.1:
* New Direct3D Pixel Shader image processing script support when using MadVR
as the Video Renderer (Adv. Options / Playback / Video / Pixel Shaders).
Pixel shaders are script text files with the ".HLSL" file extension that
can be compiled in real-time by the GPU (display card) to perform various
image processing effects.
The options page allows you to specify pixel shader presets, the first
8 of which can be activated directly by using a keyboard/remote control
macro (by default Alt+Shift+"F1..F8").
The current pre-image resize pixel shader scripts can be toggled by
pressing Alt+Shift+"F9".
The current post-image resize pixel shader scripts can be toggled by
pressing Alt+Shift+"F10".
Both Pre and Post-image resize pixel shader scripts can be toggled at
once by pressing Alt+Shift+"F11".
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
to treat the "Play" function as if it was "Open Media" or a click on Enter
when a fullscreen navigation interface is visible (bypassing the mini-menu
in the media library's thumbview mode). Enabled by default.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
to use the "Stop" function to close any currently visible fullscreen
navigation interface. Enabled by default.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings)
that controls whether folders are marked as seen if they contain a
previously played media file. By default, this setting is disabled.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Thumb View) to create additional thumbnail scraping threads when current
threads time out while parsing a video. This can happen with
partially downloaded media files.
The upside is that scraping will not pause when problematic files
are encountered.
The downside is that by creating additional threads, CPU usage may
rise during the scraping operation and slow down screen updates,
making the user interface a bit more sluggish.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Paths & Files) to disable the
multi-part file loader when opening or adding multiple files.
This setting is enabled by default.
* New "Previous Navigation" option for the "Start player in:" setting
(Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size) that opens Zoom Player
fullscreen and directly in the previously used navigation interface.
* New "/LASTNAV" command line parameter to open Zoom Player fullscreen and
directly in the previously used navigation interface.
* The WTV format is now associable with Zoom Player. You may need to click
the "Default" button in the advanced options dialog under "File Format
Association / File Extensions -> Video.
Once clicked, WTV format files will start listing within the media library
and other video-format specific features.
* You can now use the "Time" seek box in the chapter editor ("g" keyboard
macro) to seek to a percentage of the video, for example, specifying a
value of "8%" seeks to 8 percent from the start of the video.
* Added support for WMV files with the GoToMeeting codec.
+ The video rotate feature (Shift+"R") now uses a new MadVR feature that
no longer crops part of the image while rotating. The latest version of
MadVR is now required to perform video rotation.
+ Optimized Zoom Player's load time by about 10-30%.
+ The fullscreen navigation interface's on-screen clock should now respect
the 24h/12h AM/PM system setting.
+ Some of the options dialog elements have been spread out to enhance
clarity of use.
+ The configuration wizard allowing you to select between PC, HTPC and
Tablet modes now sets Zoom Player to open in the previously used
fullscreen navigation interface instead of the main navigation interface.
+ You can now set a value of "0" to OSD Visibility
(Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display / Actions).
+ Code optimization should improve skin loading time and other
code elements.
+ You can now dismiss the internal screen saver by clicking with the
mouse "left/right/X" buttons or using the mouse wheel.
+ The "/LastNAV", "/MainNAV" command line parameters and the "Start Player
in" setting when set to "Previous Navigation" or "Main Navigation" no
longer open the last navigation interface when a file name is passed
in the command line, instead only switching to fullscreen mode.
- Scrolling with the mouse wheel no longer generates a double action
when used in Windows 10 or earlier versions of windows with a custom
mouse utility that sends scroll events to inactive windows.
- When a language pack is in use, the media library category editor's
'configure category' button would cause an access violation.
- Disabling the "Show File Extensions (playlist, file and media library
navigators)" setting would corrupt the play history when opening the
play history fullscreen navigation interface.
- When a language pack is in use, the media library category editor would
not automatically show the 'video' category by default.
- Pressing enter on the playlist editor to play the selected file maintains
the keyboard focus on the playlist (previously, the keyboard focus would
move to the main window, preventing using the keyboard again to play
the next file).
- When using MadVR as the video renderer with the "Auto-Size User Interface
to maintain Video Aspect Ratio (when resizing)" setting enabled caused
the player window to resize and screen-center when opening certain media
formats (MOV, WebP and other formats may have been affected).
This fix requires the latest version of MadVR, otherwise support for
black-bar crop detection by MadVR will cease working.
- The Media Library fullscreen navigation interface did not respect the
"Show File Extensions" setting in thumbnail view mode.
- The "Remove folder(s) from categories" section of the media library
fullscreen navigation interface was not clearing the background between
screen updates, causing the path area to become unreadable and the current
scroll position to become unclear.
- The "Remove folder(s) from categories" section of the media library
fullscreen navigation interface did not use the current font size.
- Folders containing previously viewed media were highlighted even if
the "Highlight previously viewed files" setting was disabled.
- The options dialog's search feature did not find searches for radio group
listed elements (lists with bullet-point selection).
- Pressing the TAG display script's "Default" button when using a language
pack could show a corrupt script (
characters appearing instead of
the script text).
- The "Center user interface on initial load" setting did not work as
intended when opening the player by double clicking on a media file
in an external program (e.g. explorer) while the "Auto-Size User
Interface to fit Source Video Resolution (on load)" setting enabled.
- The "DVD Settings" advanced options dialog page was not searchable through
the options dialog's search feature.
- Using Alt+PgDn and Alt+PgUp to move items in the playlist up or down the
list did not work if the keyboard focus was on the playlist window.
- The internal screen saver would still display even when moving the mouse
cursor over the timeline or control bar areas.
- The multi-part file loader did not detect the last file in a series if
the file names were comprised completely of numbers, for example:
01.mp3
02.mp3
03.mp3
04.mp3 <- would not add automatically.
- The qBittorrent file tracker did not show the download progress of some
torrents with nested folders.
- Pressing Alt+"V" to fetch the playlist media entries duration would not
work the first time (had to press twice).
- Re-ordering playlist entries in the playlist editor using the
Alt+"PgUp/PgDn" keyboard macros or by dragging using the mouse cursor
caused the moved entry to auto-select when playback started.
- The internal screen saver would not always appear on secondary monitors.
