[h2]Change List from v20 beta 4:[/h2] * New "Media Server" Media Library plugin. After specifying your media server credentials in Zoom Player's options dialog (Adv. Options / Playback / Media Server), Simply press Shift+"M" to open the media library category editor, select either the TV Shows or Movies category mode and click "Create Category". You will be presented with a choice of categories available on the specified media servers. Pick a category and you're done, full access to your Plex, Emby or Jellyfin library accessible directly from Zoom Player's media library. This plugin is still a work in progress and may not function perfectly, make sure to report any issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/zoomplayer * You can now search the Media Server browser by "All", "Movies" or "TV Shows" using a drop-down list next to the search field. * New "Play History" button on the IPTV Player window next to the "Play Stream" button to quickly replay the last 10 (configurable, see below) viewed streams. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that controls how many streams should be saved in the IPTV Player window's play history drop- down menu). The default value is "10" and you can set it to "0" to completely disable saving IPTV stream playback history. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) to control whether the media library shows a media's duration next to the media's name in list view (enabled by default). * You can now define a Personal Rating and leave a Personal Note in the media library's meta-data editor. Setting a Personal Rating overrides the Star rating user interface display, but does not affect sorting or filtering by Star rating. * New "Sort by Personal Rating" media library sorting option. * New "Filter by Personal Rating" media library filtering option. * The Media Server browser window will now return the video resolution after the media's name (e.g. "My Amazing Movie [4K]"). You can customize the color used to display the video's resolution in the options dialog. * You can now set the DVD Video Renderer to MPC-VR. Please note that if LAV Filters is used with hardware accelerated video decoding in "D3D11" or "DXVA2 (native)" modes, subtitles will not be visible. * The Media Library's Plugin API has been enhanced to provide additional information to the plugin, opening access to new features (e.g. Media Server plugin). * New feature to reset Zoom Player to default settings. Accessible from the advanced options dialog by clicking the "Help / Export" button. * You can now change the skin magnification from 100% to 400% through the right-click menu within the "Controls" sub-menu. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display) to only show the time when showing the clock (Alt+Ctrl+"D" keyboard shortcut). By default both the Time and Date are shown. * New "exSkinMagnify" extended function that lets you set the skin's magnification values. Valid values are 1 (100%) to 8 (800%). + The Zoom in functions (both standard and DirectShow) now try to Zoom in toward the mouse cursor when triggered using the mouse wheel. + The Media Server browser window no longer allows you to pick which server to search if multiple servers are defined. From now on, performing a search returns results from all the specified servers. + The Playlist Editor's right-click context menu has been simplified with some of the items moved to an "Extras" sub-menu. + The IPTV Player window is now using skinned right-click context menus. + Play history is used by many of the features, making the default value of storing history for 30 days no longer make sense. I have now changed the default value to 18262 days (approximately 50 years). + The mouse wheel should work better when scrolling through options in the advanced options dialog. + The Media Library Playlist plugin can now handle playlists that have x32 more entries compared to the previous version (over 24,000 entries). + The Media Library RSS plugin is now more compatible with Atom feeds. + The Media Library RSS plugin should be a little faster parsing feeds. - Fixed a crash when using the keyboard or remote in the confirmation home theater interface (used when resuming playback or to confirm erasing a file) to press Enter multiple times in quick succession. - Fixed a crash when opening the IPTV's or EPG Grid's 'customize' menus on a monitor with a DPI setting larger than 100%. - Fixed a crash when opening the play history window on a monitor with a DPI setting larger than 100%. - Setting "On Playlist Complete" to "Auto-Rewind" could have triggered a crash or unstable behavior under some conditions. - Fixed a crash when loading 4bit PNG images with transparency. This was especially nasty with the IPTV player window as some stream logos were using this format, causing the IPTV Player feature to become unstable (unable to close window or an outright crash). - Fixed a relatively rare crash when closing the confirmation home theater interface (used when resuming playback or to confirm erasing a file). - Fixed a relatively rare crash when closing the virtual keyboard interface (used when renaming files in the media library or trying to access a password protected category). - Fixed a bug in the open-drive feature (which is also used when auto- mounting ISO files) that failed to properly load virtually mounted BluRay content. - Fixed a bug where re-opening the IPTV Player window with a previously selected stream highlighted didn't enable the "Play Stream" button. - Using the media library's Filter by Star Rating feature showed a value range, for example "6 - 7", but did not actually show any 7.0 entries, showing only up to 6.9. - Setting the DVD Video Renderer to MadMR did not work at all with only audio playing. Please note that if LAV Filters is used with hardware accelerated video decoding in "D3D11" or "DXVA2 (native)" modes, subtitles will not be visible. - Titles in the skinned right-click menu were not horizontally aligned. - The Shift+Arrow keys to accurately reposition the video image or player windows stopped functioning at some point and now works again. - The "Reset Brightness" feature when using the EVR or MadVR video renderers reset the brightness to "1" instead of "0". - Hiding IPTV Groups containing the quote character in the group's name did not work as intended. - The Media Library RSS Feed plug-in should be better at handling text that is not encoded in UTF8 or English (e.g. Russian).
