Zoom Player : Steam Edition

Est. in 1999, Zoom Player provides the most impactful media player and Home Theater experience for Windows. Beautiful skins, many UI/UX tweaking options, smooth playback, plays all the format (including streaming options such as YouTube & IPTV), a powerful media library and much more, check it out!

Change List from v19 release candidate 1: * The hint pop-up that appears when hovering with the mouse cursor over a skinned user interface button now includes the keyboard macro used to activate the button. * You can now rotate the playing video by 90 degree increments using MPC-VR as the video renderer by pressing Shift+"R". * Subtitle synchronization adjustments now works when using the MPC-VR video renderer. * New "fnMPCVRinfo" Zoom Player function to toggle MPC-VR's video rendering information overlay. The new function is assigned by default to the Ctrl+"J" keyboard macro. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / libVLC) to enable SHOUTcast playback using the libVLC media engine. I do not recommend enabling this setting, the way libVLC handles SHOUTcast playback is sub-par compared to the default DirectShow media engine.

Mainly useful when using the MPC Audio Renderer option. + The IPTV window's active stream list is now restored when re-opening. + The Open-Source media library YouTube plugins will notify you when Zoom Player's YouTube API key quota has been reached. Since YouTube is limiting API calls, you can work-around this issue by creating a personal API key using the instructions in Zoom Player's blog: https://www.inmatrix.com/blog/a_guide_to_creating_a_personal_youtube_api_key.shtml + The download tracking home theater interface keyboard macro has been moved from Ctrl+"J" to Ctrl+"X". + The keyboard editor dialog now appears faster, resizes faster and you can press a key combination to instantly find its current assignment or use the search box to search by the feature description assigned to a key. Watch me code this feature live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zav2jFDmmjs + The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) now displays real-time video rendering information when MPC-VR is used as the video renderer. + The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) now prefixes a "~" symbol before the frame rate (FPS) value when the frame rate is not properly detected in the media file (can happen quite often with formats that use variable frame rate). - Adding new Chapters (bookmarks) for existing media files would add a second "No title" ghost entry that did not function properly. - When an IPTV playlist contained multiple streams using the exact same name and ID, but with a different URL or Archive Catch-up source, playing such a stream would highlight all the streams as "playing". - Filenames with special characters did not open correctly when using libVLC as the media engine. - Setting the timeline to display the media's remaining time would result in displaying odd values when streaming live content that doesn't update the stream's duration. Now "??:??" is displayed instead. - Fixed an issue that prevented the last play position being restored when using libVLC as the media engine. - Media Chapters were not loaded correctly in regions where the decimal separator character is ",". Watch me fix this feature live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zav2jFDmmjs - Trying to play a bad file or URL using the libVLC media engine would not fail properly, instead leaving the player in a sort of limbo state. - When using the libVLC media engine with the "On Playlist Complete" setting set to "Auto-Rewind", the media would start playing and did not pause at the media's start as expected. - The information dialog ("I" keyboard macro) did not show the correct resolution with some clips when using MadVR or MPCV-VR as the video renderers. - Fixed a case were closing and re-opening the IPTV dialog after playing a channel would not highlight the correct channel if there were multiple channels with the same name. - Fixed a glitch that showed new an IPTV EPG/Playlist are ready to refresh message and enabling the refresh button after initiating and completing an update download from the options dialog. - If two IPTV channels share the same channel name and EPG entry, playing one of the entries could later highlight the identical program entry on another channel as playing. - Fixed a few cosmetic glitches in the default Charcoal skin.
