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 2:
* 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.
+ 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.
- 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.

- Wrote a work-around for a bug in the MPC Audio Renderer and
MPC Audio Decoder filters where their property pages appeared
in windows that did not show all the available controls.

- 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.
