* Zoom Player can detect a Blu-Ray disc structure, parse the Blu-Ray
playlist and automatically load the longest video in the playlist
(which is assumed to be the main movie). Thanks Christophe.
This feature can be accessed through several ways:
1. Switching to DVD Mode and pressing Play.
2. Opening the Drive (through the right-click menu).
3. Opening the BluRay folder.
4. Opening the "index.bdmv" file, which is now listed
in the various file browsing dialogs.
This feature is limited to Zoom Player Home MAX.
* The default skin's Control Bar now includes a pop-up volume window,
allowing you to more accurately and easily set the volume levels
while fullscreen.
* The "Remember the last Media Position" setting has now been overhauled
into its own separate "History" sub-section under the "Playback" section
within the advanced options dialog.
* The "Remember the last Media Position" setting has been split in two,
with a setting for "Retain Media Playback History" and a setting for
"Automatically restore last media position on replay". This gives more
flexibility as to which aspects of playback should be restored when
replaying a media file.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) which controls whether
the last play time and date is saved for the playing media. If disabled,
the play date is not saved and the playing item will not be listed in
the play history and play history navigation interfaces.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) which controls whether
the audio volume should be restored to its the previous level when
replaying the media file.
With this setting enabled, the audio volume level is retained
for every media file played within the Playback History retention
period (default is 30 days).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / History) which controls whether
the audio volume should be restored to its the previous level when
replaying audio-only files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video) allowing you to disable
Zoom Player control over FFDShow's video Sharpening values.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video) allowing you to disable
Zoom Player control over FFDShow's video DeInterlacing values.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video) allowing you to disable
VMR7's mixing mode (can fix VMR7 issues with some hardware).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio) allowing you to link
the 'Volume Up'/'Volume Down' functions to the Equalizer PreAmp
function so when the volume level reaches 100% and you continue
using the 'Volume Up' function, the Equalizer PreAmp value is
increased. Clicking volume down will first reduce the PreAmp value
and when the PreAmp value reaches its previous level, the volume level
is reduced. Setting the volume level through other means, will reset
the PreAmp value to its previous level.
PreAmp is a digital amplifier function which can reduce audio quality
if the audio recording volume is normal, but can be very useful if
the original recording volume is low.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to set the player
to stay on top of other applications when switching to audio mode (and
restoring a normal window state after returning to media mode).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size) affecting
the "Auto-Size User Interface to fit Source Video Resolution".
When enabled, only the user interface height is adjusted.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation) allowing
you to set the navigation scroll acceleration speed. After some tweaking,
the default value has been sped up to "Very Fast" scrolling. The previous
default value was "Average".
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation) allowing
you to set the navigation scroll acceleration reset time in MS.
The new default value is 300ms, in v6 the fixed value was 500ms.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Settings) allowing keyboard input to be used for Quickly Searching
in many of the navigation interfaces. This setting is enabled
by default.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation) allowing
you to specify if keyboard searches are matched against the start of the
line or any position in the line.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation)
allowing you to set the keyboard input timeout (a value in MS
indicating how much time should pass before the search query
is reset).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / DVD / DVD Settings) that
determines whether Zoom Player searches only CD devices
(CD/DVD/BluRay/etc...) or all drives for content when pressing play
in DVD Mode. Default is to only scan CD devices, but if you
map network-shares as drives, you may want to turn this setting off.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video / Subtitles) allowing
you to select whether Zoom Player disables FFDShow subtitle rendering
when DirectVobSub is used as the Preferred Subtitle Renderer.
By default, FFDShow subtitle renderer is disabled when using
DirectVobSub.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video / Colors) which allows you
to select whether FFDShow should be used for software color control.
* New Function (Alt+Shift+"Z") which compensates for badly encoded
widescreen (16:9) content that is encoded in fullscreen (4:3) format
by Zooming 33% into the Video (and returning to the previous video
position when called a second time).
This function will also view widescreen (16:9) content as fullscreen on
fullscreen (4:3) Monitors/TVs by Zooming in and cropping the left/right
sides of the video.
* New Function (Ctrl+"E") allowing you to create Ring Tones by selecting
a start and a stop position in many supported audio/video formats and
extract the selected section in MP3/ACC formats supported by most mobile
phones.
This feature requires the FFMPEG components installed on your system
(which is available through the Install Center application).
* New Function (Alt+Shift+"W") to activate the White Wash screen-burn
repair directly instead of accessing the function through the patterns
function.
* The File Browser, Media Library and Playlist fullscreen navigation
interfaces "Select" function has been expanded to allow selecting
"Select all matching multi-part files", "All Audio", "All Pictures",
"All Video" and "All matching the currently highlighted file Type"
(file extension).
* The File Browser and Media Library fullscreen navigation interfaces
can now access a "View" function which brings up a selection of
files/information to view in the file list:
1. File Size
2. File Extension
3. Subtitle files
4. Archive files
* Pressing Right with the "Add to Playlist" function highlighted in the
File Browser or Media Library fullscreen navigation interfaces will
now take you to the Playlist navigation. Pressing left from the
playlist navigator will take you back to the original navigation
interface (either file browser or media library).
* New "Go to top of list" fullscreen navigation function (Applies to
the Playlist, File Browser and Media Library interfaces).
* The Advanced Playlist Control interface has been redesigned to be
more intuitive.
* The Play History fullscreen navigation interface implements a new
function interface (accessible by clicking right). The functions are:
1. Erase
Completely erase the selected item.
2. Hide
Hide the selected item, but keep media information
to maintain functionality (Last media position, volume).
3. Go to top of list
Moves the focus to the top of the history list.
* Right-Clicking the Equalizer's bars will now reset each bar
clicked to its default value.
* Hovering the mouse cursor over an Equalizer bar now shows
its exact value.
* New "/WinName" command line parameter allowing you to set the
Zoom Player Window Name.
For example:
zplayer.exe "/winname:ZoomPlayer2"
* New File Association and Smart Play profiles for the MOD/TOD/MTS
camcorder file extensions.
(MOD = MPEG2 Program, TOD/MTS = MPEG2 Transport Stream).
Sadly, when JVC, Panasonic and Canon came up with the ".MOD" file
extension, they didn't take into account its existing use as
an Audio Tracker format. Due to this, ".MOD" extension is no longer
associated with the MOD Audio Tracker format. You can change this
default behavior by modifying Zoom Player's Smart Play profiles.
* Zoom Player will now save FFDShow's color control values in
Zoom Player's media definition files (".df" file extension).
* New "VolumeWindow" Skin Script code, allowing you skin the
new pop-up volume bar associated with the "fnVolumeWindow"
function.
* Smart Play profile support for the latest DivX filters:
MPEG4.ASP (DIVX/XVID)
MPEG4.AVC (H.264)
AAC Audio
MKV Splitter
* You can now choose from three screen saver modes:
1. Plasma Cloud CGI.
2. Image Slideshow
3. Blank power-saving ode.
+ The default video renderer has been changed to VMR9 Windowless
for Windows XP and EVR for Windows 7/Vista.
+ Scroll Acceleration is now active system-wide in all fullscreen
navigation interfaces (where appropriate), making navigation
faster and easier using remote devices and keyboards.
+ The media library fullscreen navigation interface now remembers
the sorting order for each category independently.
+ The DirectShow filter registration options dialog feature
(Adv. Options / System / Filter Management) has been rewritten
to support configuration of popular DirectShow filters directly
from the options dialog. Older unused filter profiles were
removed and new updated profiles have been added.
+ You can now used Keyboard input with the GoTo navigation dialog
to directly set the GoTo time. This requires that Keyboard Input
for navigation be enabled.
+ Improved Screen Saver image selection randomness. No image will
appear twice until all images were displayed first, even after
the screen saver restarts.
+ Pressing PgDn/PgUp to play the next/previous media file in the
same directory now works even after erasing the currently playing
file, making it much easier to browse through a media or image
collection to erase unwanted files.
+ Using the Next/Previous playlist track with random play enabled
and only one file in the playlist no longer plays the same file
again, but rather plays the next file in the directory.
+ The Advanced Options "Fullscreen Navigation" pages have been moved
under the "Interface" section (previously it was within the "On Screen
Display" section).
+ By default, the Media Library Filter Selection fullscreen navigation page
will no longer appear when pressing Left on the Media Library category
page (user-selectable through the options dialog).
+ The "Windows Media Video" Smart Play profile has been split into two
distinct profiles:
1. Windows Media Video (used in WMV files)
2. VC1 (used in BluRay discs)
+ For clarity, the "Auto Segment Load" feature has been renamed
"Multi Part file loader".
+ For clarity, the Multi Part file loader's "Segment Script" setting has
been renamed "Name Masking" .
+ The "Multi Part file loader" feature has been disabled by default due to
user confusion over files being added to the playlist automatically.
You can re-enable this feature through the options dialog.
+ Pressing the ESC key with a fullscreen navigation interface enabled and
secondary monitors are blanked will now remove the blanking first
(In previous versions, the navigation interface was closed first).
+ Pressing the ESC key in the options dialog is now treated as if the
Cancel button is clicked.
+ Frame Capture (Alt+"F") now works with the EVR video renderer.
+ Starting the screen saver from the main fullscreen navigation
interface no longer pauses if an audio file is being played
(only pause on video file).
+ To maintain backward compatibility, the Zoom Player chapter
(bookmark) file extension has changed from ".chp" to ".zpchp".
Zoom Player will still look for the ".chp" file when the newer
format file doesn't exist.
- Closing multiple player instances at once with Zoom Player set to save
its setting to a local file could cause the settings file to corrupt.
- A bug in the ID3v1 parser caused playlists containing audio files
with ID3v1 tags not to save/load properly if the ID3v1 TAG contained
in the audio file was semi-corrupt.
- Opening the options dialog through a skin button while a new audio file
starts playing and the skin automatically changes to audio mode would
cause a "not enough timers" crash.
- The "Default media open path" (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen
Navigation / Paths) used by the standard open dialog and the file
browsing fullscreen navigation interface can now accept network paths.
For network paths to work with the file navigator, you must add the
path under as an "Additional File Nav path" (Adv. Options /
Interface / Fullscreen Navigation).
- Chapters are now time based rather than frame based as different
components (filters/renderers) would report different frame rates
for the same media file, causing chapter files created with one
set of filters playing invalid when using a different set of filters.
- Adding/Removing audio devices (such as a Skype Phone which acts as
a speaker device), will no longer change the audio device settings
Zoom Player uses. If you insert a new audio device while Zoom Player
is already running, opening the options dialog or restarting the player
is required.
- Zoom Player no longer requires "wmvcore.dll" on the system to run.
(it may be required for WMV playback, depending on your setup).
- The Adjust Image fullscreen navigation interface lost the H-SIZE/V-SIZE
values. They are now back.
- Fixed a crash when trying to open a DVD title over a network path.
- Fixed a rare crash when trying to show the Control Panel while the
media library navigation interface is opening.
- The eMule File Tracker did not work with files between 2 and 4gb.
- The uTorrent File Tracker did not work if the Torrent folder and
the torrent file name used the same name.
- The FFDShow Subtitle Renderer would sometimes display subtitles
from previously played videos.
- Selecting files in the file Browser and Media Library fullscreen
navigation interface and adding them to the playlist now adds them
in the correct sorting order and doesn't re-sort the original list.
- Fixed a bug introduced in v7 RC1 which caused a "list index out of
bounds" error when Random Play was enabled while only having one file
in the playlist.
- Using the Quick Search function on the File Browser and Media Library
fullscreen navigation interfaces with a directory containing a low
number of files would previously show a blank screen.
- The "Play all files in this directory" navigation function would not
appear if there was only one directory listed. Applies to both the
media library and file browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces.
- Using the Quick Search function in a directory containing 1000's of
files could cause the file names to be cut short.
- You can no longer set image-blanking values greater than the video size.
- Pressing Enter after closing the options dialog could cause a play
command to be issued (instead of the assigned function).
- The internal screen saver will no longer activate when the White Wash
pattern is in use.
- If "On Playlist Compelete" was set to "Do Nothing" and the video
renderer was set as EVR, reaching a media's end would result in the
video disappearing.
- The Filter Profiles list (Adv. Option / System / Filter Management)
would not list any filters when doing a Standard install.
- Transparent buttons on the control bar would lose their transparency
region under certain conditio
