--- What's new in Zoom Player v19.5.1:
* A new IPTV Setup Wizard is shown when opening the IPTV player window
for the first time. The Wizard simplifies the IPTV setup experience by
automatically using the recommended default values. You only need to
enter the login details you receive from your provider, click "save"
and you're done.
In Zoom Player IPTV, the IPTV Setup Wizard is shown immediately after
launching Zoom Player for the very first time.
* You can now open the IPTV Setup Wizard at any time by using the
Ctrl+Shift+"F12" keyboard shortcut. Please note that using the
IPTV Setup Wizard wipes existing IPTV provider information (with
a warning message first).
* On a fresh install, the Pre-Configuration wizard now offers a new
"PC IPTV" option. The only difference from the regular PC option and
the "PC IPTV" option is that picking the "PC IPTV" shows the new
IPTV Setup Wizard right afterwards.
* New Alt+"Q" keyboard shortcut to bring up the Source/Splitter filter's
property page (configuration dialog). By default it opens the "LAV
Splitter Source" dialog, allowing you to more easily configure Stream
Analysis Duration", "Queue Memory", Preferred audio stream selection
and other "source" related features.
* New "Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV" button to clear the database cache.
+ Optimized the options dialog, it should now open 500-800ms faster.
Yes, it still takes longer than desired. There's so many settings that it
takes Windows itself about 1.3 seconds just to create the dialog and
another 0.3 second just to set the DPI-Aware font.
+ Opening the IPTV player window for the first time no longer offers to
add the FreeTV project's stream list. You can still add the stream list
in the advanced options dialog.
+ The IPTV Player window's "Update Available" button is now outlined in
a highlight color when an update is available, making it easier to see
when an update is available.
+ To make the interface more intuitive, the media library category editor's
"Create Category" button is now enabled in Prism View mode. When clicked,
you will be prompted for the category mode before proceeding.
+ You can now rename and delete media library categories from prism view
without first having to select the category mode.
+ The media library category editor's right-click menu now selects the
item under the cursor before showing the menu.
+ To allow activation, Zoom Player's trial version will no longer
automatically close after the trial period is over, instead preventing
new media playback and showing the "Trial Over" message again.
+ The playlist editor's item counter has been changed from "file/files"
to "Item(s)" to better reflect the fact that the playlist can hold URLs.
Previously the "file/files" text was hard-coded, but now it's using
the translated text for other languages.
+ The MadVR default is now set to not to display OSD through MadVR's OSD
service which is slower and only intended for fullscreen exclusive mode.
+ There is now a "Cancel" button on the media library category editor's
"Create Category" type selector.
+ Added a confirmation message when trying to use the "Remove All" button
on the chapter/bookmark editor.
+ You can minimize the IPTV window again.
- The IPTV Player window's "Update Available" button did not enabled after
downloading Xtream Codes database updates.
- The "IPTV" entry's text on the main right-click context menu was not
updated correctly.
- Removing an IPTV XCode/Playlist/EPG automated download profile mid-
download could have caused Zoom Player to freeze. Now a message pops
up and asks you to wait for the download to complete first.
- The following keyboard shortcuts were not assigned the function listed
in the keyboard help:
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)
- Adding chapters to a media file containing embedded chapter data
caused the embedded chapters to disappear when reloading the media.
- The "Open Window's file association interface" button in the "File Format
Association" section of the options dialog now works with Windows 10+.
