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!
[h2]Change List from v19.5.2:[/h2]
* New Media Server Browser feature that allows you to stream media from
a local or remote Media Server (Adv. Options / Playback / Media Server).
Zoom Player currently supports the top-3 media servers:
1. Plex
2. Emby
3. Jellyfin
There is no limit to the number or types of servers you can add, you can
mix and match as many servers as you want.
Please note that depending on the media server type, load and connectivity,
using libVLC to play content from a media server may offer faster seeking
and audio/subtitle track switching.
* New libVLC option ("Adv. Options / Playback / libVLC" or "Adv. Options /
Playback / Media Server", this setting appears twice) to control whether
the libVLC media engine should be used when playing content from media
servers.
* New Shift+"Y" keyboard shortcut to open the Media Server browsing client.
+ Re-opening the IPTV Player window should now be nearly instant.
The only downside is that if you edit the files manually while Zoom Player
is running, you will have to restart Zoom Player for the changes to
take affect.
+ The default TCP/IP Control API port has been changed to 32999.
+ The default Web Server Control port has been changed to 32998.
+ I am disabling the "Display OSD through MadVR's OSD API" setting (Adv.
Options / Playback / Video) on every install. This feature can have a
negative impact on the user experience, its only benefits is if you
use MadVR in fullscreen exclusive mode, a mode that is no longer
of much use when running Windows 10 or better.
If you previously used this feature and would like to continue using
it, it can be re-enabled in the options.
+ libVLC's default audio framework is now set by default to "DirectSound",
otherwise using libVLC and changing the volume would affect the windows-
level volume level for Zoom Player (which should always be set to 100%).
- libVLC's framework selection was completely broken, selecting another
device wouldn't work at all or would use the default audio device instead.
- Fixed a bug in Zoom Player IPTV that partially broke translation of the
options dialog left-pane tree view, causing some lines to remain in
the original English.
- Fixed a bug that caused some error message text to get truncated.
- In some resolutions, the meta-data display for playing audio media did
not use a round-rectangle background correctly, causing text to appear
partially outside the background.
- Some over-zealous code optimization broke the audio playback meta-data
display area, showing tags for empty fields.
- Selecting the libVLC section in the Advanced Options dialog a second time
no longer tries to relist libVLC's audio devices, causing a slight delay.
