Zoomplayer - aktuelle Version

[Schotenhüter]

8.1.1

* The Equalizer fullscreen navigation interface usage framework has changed. The new design is simpler and easier than ever: Simply scroll up/down to reach a setting you would like to modify. Notice the Plus/Minus icons on the right hand side. The active icon is opaque and the inactive icon is transparent. Moving right/left switches the active state between addition and subtraction whilst Enter performs the action.
New reset and enabled/disabled icons are displayed next to their corresponding action for additional clarity.

* The fusion skin's control bar now supports brightness, contrast and saturation adjustments.

* New Setting "Adv. Options / Interface" that controls whether the player's user interface is restored when loading new content while the player is minimized.

* New Setting "Adv. Options / Interface" that controls whether the player interface is brought on top of all other windows when switching to fullscreen. In previous versions, this feature was always enabled, but since it can cause conflicts with MadVR and there's no real benefit keeping this feature enabled for everyone. It is now disabled by default.

* New Setting "Adv. Options / Playback / Smart Play" that when enabled, all graph creation error messages are saved to a log file.

* New Setting "Adv. Options / Playback / Control" that specifies that the Frame Advance code uses an alternative method of seeking. The default method is using DirectShow's "IVideoFrameStep" interface, The alternative method is by guesstimating the frame and performing a direct seek (the same method always used by the previous frame function).

* New Setting "Adv. Options / Playback / Video" that controls whether The Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR) should permit dyanmic aspect ratio changes (usually triggered by clips captures from live TV where the content can switch from 4:3 to 16:9 dynamically). In v8.0, the default value was disabled (Dynmaic AR changes disabled). In v8.1, the default value was enabled (Dynmaic AR changes enabled).

* The last play position is now saved automatically when the internal screen saver becomes active.

+ The navigation icons are now scaled "on-demand" and the result is cached to improve performance. Some of the fullscreen navigation interfaces may open a bit faster thanks to this enhancement.

+ The right-click "Stream Selection sub-menu now lists audio tracks even if there is only one track available.

+ The information dialog's ("I" keyboard macro) format section now clearly labels the source, splitter, audio and video decoders used.

+ Scene-cut files saved for read-only media now use both the file name and date in order to distinguish between two media files of the same name, an increasing issue when playing blu-ray disc images.
- The update message notifying you of a new Zoom Player version or new updates on the install center could appear behind the user interface if the user interface was set to 'Stay On Top'.
- Saving scene-cut files for read-only media other than DVDs was broken.

- External subtitle files with unicode file names were not listed with their proper name (either an empty line would be listed or '????' would appear instead of the actual subtitle file name.

- When using FFDShow as the subtitle renderer and playing a media file with external audio track, the external audio tracks would get listed as subtitle track by ffdshow, breaking the 'cycle subtitle track' feature.

- Closing the navigation interfaces automatically after a specified number of seconds would cause the navigation interfaces to close even if remote control commands were received.

- When the "Playing new content moves the player window to the top" setting was enabled with MadVR as the video renderer, pressing play/pause caused MadVR to lose exclusive mode for a split second.

- Switching to Audio Mode now hides the clock display.

- Changing the volume level through the Equalizer fullscreen navigation interface did not always update the skin volume widget.

- Changing the volume level through the player user interface while the Equalizer fullscreen navigation interface was visible did not update the equalizer navigation volume values.
- Drag & Scroll was broken in the Equalizer preset list.

- Fixed a crash when trying to close Zoom Player if the clock display and screen saver were active at the same time.

- The information dialog's ("I" keyboard macro) format section did not include the splitter used for the playing media.
- Running the Install Center with no internet connection would show three error messages instead of one.
- Message dialogs could appear with the mouse cursor hidden, making it more difficult to dismiss them.
- When using a language file, the default LIRC function type wasn't selected.
- Cosmetical glitches in the options dialog search function.

8.1.5:

Legend :

"*" = New
"+" = Change
"-" = Fix


New :

* New installer option to "Associate with Media Formats", disabled by default. When enabled, Zoom Player automatically associates itself with every media file extension on the "Options / File Format Association" page. Once associated, opening/clicking the file extension (".AVI" for example) in explorer and other shell programs prompts Zoom Player to execute and play the selected media file.

* The install center can now list optional items without automatically selecting the item for installation.

* The default Onyx skin's title area has been refined.
* You can now directly configure the LAV Audio, Video and Splitter filters through the "Adv. Options / System / Filter Management" dialog.

* The Tray icon right-click menu has been added two functions: 1. Next Chapter/Track. 2. Previous Chapter/Track.

* New "ZPEXEIcon" icon library you can apply through the "File Format Association" page under "Adv. Options". The icon library applies the Zoom Player executable icon to all file extensions (replacing the labeled format extensions badges).



Changes :

+ The player window's video area no longer blanks black when playing multiple JPEG images in succession even when the file are not part of the playlist (playing the next directory file for example).

+ Smart Play's 'Source Filter' configuration dialog makes it clearer that selecting a profile that works as both a source and a splitter, overrides smart play's 'Splitter' profile for the media file extension. You can only split a media format once ...

+ Smart Play profiles tweaked to increase stability.

+ The custom key file settings (Adv. Options / Interface / Keyboard) now accept relative file paths.

+ The play history cache file verification system was overly sensitive, causing it to notify you the file may be corrupted even when it wasn't.

+ If "Adv. Option / Interface - 'On Media / DVD Play'" was set to 'Zoom mode' or 'Fullscreen mode' and the player window was minimized, the player window was restored and set to fullscreen each time a new media was loaded. Now this action only takes place if the player window is not minimized.



Fixes :

- Fixed switching to fullscreen on a secondary monitor with Windows XP, which stopped working in version 8.

- Fixed several small bugs related to how Zoom Player is minimized and restored.
- JPEG images with EXIF rotation mode "6" were not rotated correctly.

- The '"Derived" mode Automatically Adjusts Aspect Ratio for badly encoded content' setting did not adjust for dynamically changing aspect ratios. This was especially bad with MadVR which throws a Aspect Ratio change event every time.

- ID3 v2.2 tags with *****ded images were not parsed correctly, causing the *****ded image not to display.

- Using the "zplayer.regpath" file did not apply the new data path. More information @ http://inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/multicopy.shtml

- Pop-up OSD messages would not appear if MadVR OSD services was used with a fullscreen navigation interface visible.

- MadVR now show the first frame in the video when pressing stop.

- The Pop-Up OSD (Play/Pause/etc) would stick on-screen when using MadVR as the video renderer and tabbing away from Zoom Player.

- If 'On Playlist Complete' is set to 'Do Nothing' and MadVR is used as the video renderer, the fullscreen OSD interface would stop updating when the video finished playing.

- Playing MP3 files with *****ded album art created by Samsung Kies could crash the player (Kies is creating invalid ID3v2 tags).

- The default "MPEG2 Program" video decoder Smart Play profile has been changed from DScaler to LAV as DScaler did not support dynamic aspect ratio changes with the EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer).

- DirectShow filters with stored filter data bigger than 4096 bytes would not appear in the 'Registered Filter Manager' dialog (LAV Video for example).

- When deleting a station from the station manager, the station name would not appear in the delete confirmation dialog.
- Due to conflict with Real Player, the RealMedia decoder pack is no longer included in the Install Center and the RealMedia Smart Play profiles have been modified to use LAV in its place.
- Fixed a cosmetical glitch in the options dialog search results.
