Zoom Player : Steam Edition

Est. in 1999, Zoom Player provides the most impactful media player and Home Theater experience for Windows.

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. You can see me reworking the UI in this video: https://youtu.be/BvRb6spGuN8 + 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. You can see me live fixing the issue in this video: https://youtu.be/BvRb6spGuN8 - 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. You can see me live fixing the issue in this video: https://youtu.be/BvRb6spGuN8 - 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.
