--- What's new in v6.00:
New :
* Since a lot of people don't appreciate the changes microsoft
made to Windows Vista with its UAC limitations, the Zoom Player
installer now lets you choose between two modes:
Standard install where dynamic files are saved in the AppData
(Application Data) directory and static files are saved in the
install directory. This is required when running Windows Vista
with UAC enabled or running Windows XP with a limited user account.
Legacy mode where all the files are saved in the selected directory.
This is easier to backup, but wont work properly when running
Vista with UAC enabled or Windows XP on a limited user account.
With Legacy mode selected, the file extension association functionality
is restored to Windows XP levels (UAC under Windows Vista limits some
file extension association functions such as changing file icons).
* To maintain compatibility with Windows Vista's user account control
(UAC) mechanism, the Zoom Player installer (using Standard Install)
will move all files that require modification to the windows Application
Data directory (Can be reached by typing "%AppData%\Zoom Player"
in any folder window).
In addition to the move, user-specified skins must be re-selected
through the skin selection dialog.
* Zoom Player now warns you when it detects you are running in
legacy mode under restricted file access (UAC in Vista or a limited
user account under XP/Vista).
* New "Auto-Configure" button on the Smart Play options dialog.
When clicked, all current decoder configuration will be reset
and then the system is scanned for the best decoder configuration
using the currently installed decoders.
* New F8/F9 skin modes (equivalent to the Onyx Lite skin).
* Full EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) support.
Please note that due to a Microsoft issue/bug, you must use
YUY2 as the colorspace, otherwise color control features
will not function.
* Added support for Haali's Video Renderer technology.
Haali's Video Renderer uses Bicubic interpolation of video using
3D hardware. This means improved video quality, especially when
up-scaling to higher resolution. Older 3D Graphic card may not
be supported (Cards with PS 1.4 or better should work well).
* Zoom Player can now communicate with uTorrent's Web UI interface
in order to display download progress within the Media Library
and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature
is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on
this page for additional information.
* Zoom Player can now keep track with eMule's temporary files directory
in order to display download progress within the Media Library
and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature
is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on
this page for additional information.
* New "Download Manager" navigation interface (Ctrl+"J"), allowing you
to get an overview of your currently downloading files (compatible with
eMule and uTorrent).
* You can now specify additional paths for the File Browser (Adv. Options /
Interface / On Screen Display / Fullscreen Navigation).
New paths appear as drives. You can add network shares (for example
"//USER/Video/" and even local paths such as "C:\Media" creating instant
shortcuts to important directories on your system.
* The File Navigation interface now shows the drive sizes and free space.
* The Chapter editing interface has been modified with a chapter name history
drop-down list and instead of a dialog opening up when adding a chapter,
now you can just type in the chapter name (or pick from the drop-down
history list) and press enter or click the add chapter button, making it
easier to add chapters.
* The Scene Cut editor has been simplified and enhanced. The Scene cut
editor no longer requires you to click on the save button, saving is
done automatically now. A new edit button allows you to edit entries
without having to remove an old entry first. Lastly, the scene cut
interface layout has been updated to make it simpler to use.
* Zoom Player's ".zpl" playlist format has been extended to support
TAG data (author,composer,artist,etc). All TAG data read from
a media file (ID3,ApeTAG,WMA Tag,etc) is automatically saved
within the play list format (allowing you to override TAG data
display without actually modifying the source media file).
* New "Configure Subtitle Filter" button (Adv. Options / Playback /
Video & Subtitles) allowing you to configure the Subtitle filter
more easily.
* Options dialog tree nodes now have an icon to make them easier to
navigate and remember.
* The Media Library, File Browser and Playlist fullscreen
navigation interfaces now offer a "Quick Search" option
allowing you to more easily browse through large listings.
The Quick Search option is accessible by navigating to the
right and selecting the "Quick Search" entry.
* The Media Library and File Browser navigation functions have
been restructured so that the sorting function is now part
of a sub-menu.
* "Select All" and "Clear Selection" functions have been added
to the Media Library and File Browser navigation interfaces
as a sub-menu under the "Select" function.
* The Playlist navigation interface has been restructured so
that the sorting method is now a sub-menu with more sorting
options available (by Size, Directory, Date and Randomly).
* Pressing right on the Playlist history navigation interface
now brings you to the top of the list (the most recently
played item).
* New "Navigation Style" Navigation interface, allowing the
navigation skin to be replaced from within the navigation
interface itself.
* New "Open Navigator" button on the Media Library Path Editor.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Video / Aspect Ratio)
instructing Zoom Player "Derived" Aspect Ratio mode to Automatically
Adjust (fix) the Aspect Ratio for badly encoded content.
This would convert 4:3 content encoded as 720x480 to display as 720x540,
720x576 to 768x576, 352x240 to 352x264, 352x288 to 384x288, etc...
Badly encoded 16:9 content is also adjusted in a similar fashion.
This setting also fixes small aspect ratio inaccuracies caused by a
requirement made by video encoders for the video pixel width or height
to be dividable by 16 (or 8 or 4).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to disable the
delete key from erasing the currently playing file.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to lock filter/decoder
configuration (property) pages to the main user interface (otherwise they
appear as a floating window).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display) allowing you
to select custom DVD & Media background images.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to skip the "Library
Filter Mode" page. With this setting enabled, navigating left on the
media library category list will go straight to the Main navigation menu.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation) allowing you to specify the minimum number of
characters that appear when using Quick Search.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) restoring the ability to "Play all
files in this Directory" from the main file list (file and
media library navigators).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to select if Cut,
Copy & Paste operations allow you to overwrite files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to highlight previously
viewed files. This setting with the "remember last
media position" setting (Adv. Options / Playback) and will
highlight any previously viewed file in the Media and File
Navigation interfaces by making its icon semi-transparent.
Please note that this feature can tax the CPU if the play
history (generated by remembering the last media position)
is over a few 100 files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to set the
"On Play Complete" event (which triggers when a playlist has
finished playing) to "Randomize & Replay", giving you another
random play method.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to limit
remembering the last media position to media files longer than
a specified amount of minutes. This is useful when you don't want
the last media position remembered when playing short media files.
* New Button (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to reset the
Remember Last Position cache (and play history, which use the same data).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you to enable/disable Closed Captions support for media files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you to automatically hide Closed Captions when playing media files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you play media files with the subtitles not showing by default.
* New "Guard Dog" feature (Adv. Options / System).
When enabled, the Guard Dog periodically tests that the Zoom Player
process is responding. If the process stops responding for a
specified number of seconds, the Guard Dog will close the player and
start a new instance using a specified command line parameter list.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / System & Files / Paths, Folders
and Files), allowing you to select the Frame Capture (screenshot)
format. BMP, PNG and JPEG are supported.
* New Auto-Segment load setting (Adv. Options / System & Files /
Paths, Folders and Files), allowing you to match file names
automatically by how similar they are. Press the "?" button
for more details on how the matching works. This feature is
on by default for versions that support it.
* New Function (fnBlankMonitors) assigned to the Alt+Shift+"K"
keyboard macro, allowing you to manually toggle blanking
(black-out) of non-playing monitors. The automatic-blanking
of non-playing monitors is accessible through the options
dialog (Adv. Options / System - Blank non-Playing Monitors
while in Fullscreen / Zoom mode). Pressing ESC restores
any blanked out monitor.
* New Function (fnFSActMonitor) assigned to the Alt+Shift+"Enter"
keyboard macro, allowing you to go fullscreen on the currently
active monitor, overriding the fullscreen to monitor "X" setting.
* New "fnPosToClipboard" function (Alt+Ctrl+"C") allowing you to copy
the current playing position to the windows clipboard (which can then
be pasted in another program).
* The Zoom Player function selection dialog is now split into three
categories: Content, Interface and Control. The function list is
also sorted, making functions easier to find.
* New Vista specific feature allowing you to make the entire
Zoom Player window semi-transparent. This also requires that
you use a video renderer that would work (Haali's/VMR9/EVR)
and that VISTA Aero is enabled. To use:
Alt+Ctrl+F4 = Fully visible window.
Alt+Ctrl+F5 = 80% visibility.
Alt+Ctrl+F6 = 60% visibility.
Alt+Ctrl+F7 = 40% visibility.
You can also specify exact transparency values using the new
"exTransWin" extended function.
* New "exTransWin" extended function, allowing you to specify
a transparency value (1-255) for the Zoom Player window.
This function requires Windows VISTA with Aero enabled.
* New "exRandomPlay" extended function, allowing you to discretely
set the Random Play setting to on/off (compared to the fnRandomPlay
function which toggle between on/off).
* New "exSkinTint" extended function allowing you to set the skin's RGB
tinting value.
Example:
zplayer.exe /exfunc:exskintint,$7F3000
* New "/Browse" command line parameter instructing Zoom Player to open
the specified web address in its internal web browser. This command line
works even if Zoom Player is already running.
Example:
zplayer.exe /browse:http://www.inmatrix.com
* New "/SP:[n]" command line parameter allowing you to turn Smart Play ON/OFF.
To turn Smart Play off use "/SP:0" to turn it on use "/SP:1".
* New "/Color" command line parameter allowing you to set the skin's RGB
tinting value
Example:
zplayer.exe /color:$7F3000
* New "/Config" command line parameter. Using this parameter,
you can specify which local (non-registry) configuration file
Zoom Player should use. This parameter is very useful when running
multiple instances of Zoom Player, each with a different configuration.
If the specified configuration file doesn't exist, Zoom Player will
create one (using the default configuration).
Usage:
zplayer.exe "/config:z:\path to config file\filename.local"
Note that the "" characters are required as this command
line parameter contains spaces.
* New "/Func" command line parameter. This parameter allows
you to instruct Zoom Player to execute functions directly
from the command line.
This parameter can also be used while Zoom Player is running,
enabling simple command-line based automation.
Example for always starting with the Main Navigator open:
zplayer.exe /Func:fnMainNav
For a full function list, see the Function List:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/zpfunctions.shtml
* New "/ExFunc" command line parameter. This parameter allows
you to instruct Zoom Player to execute extended functions
directly from the command line.
This parameter can also be used while Zoom Player is running,
enabling simple command-line based automation.
Example for always starting with the Playlist Editor open:
zplayer.exe /ExFunc:exInterface,2
For a full function list, read the Skinning Tutorial:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/zpfunctions.shtml
* New "/MultInst" command line parameter. Using this parameter
instructs Zoom Player to start another instance of the player
even if Zoom Player's multiple-instances setting is set to
disabled.
* New "/nCols", "/nRows", "/Col" and "/Row" command line parameters
allowing you to divide the active monitor into columns and rows which can
be used to position the player window. The "/nRows" defines the number
of rows, "/nCols" defines the number of columns, "/Col" defines the
active column (starting with column "0") and "/Row" defines the active
row (starting with row "0").
Example:
zplayer.exe /ncols:3 /nrows:3 /col:1 /row:1
* New "/StartPath" command line parameter allowing you to set the initial
path for the file-open dialog and the file browsing navigation interface.
* New "IconScale" parameter for the "ListData" navigation
skin-script command, allowing you to set the size of
list line icons relative to the size of the line height.

of SHOUTcast MP3/OGG/AAC content.
* Added support for the Illiminable FLAC decoder as an alternative
to CoreFLAC.
* Added support for FLV4 type Flash Video (".FLV" files).
* The Keyboard Shortcut list (F1) has been restructured, making it
easier to find keyboard macros.
* Can now quickly get duration for Windows Media Audio (".wma") files.
The default value for auto-get duration now includes the "wma" format,
If you are upgrading from a previous installation, you will need to
go to "Adv. Options / System / File Extensions" and press the Default

redesigned to take less screen space.
+ The default skin is now selected directly from the skin list,
(as the first skin listed) instead of clicking on the default
skin button.
+ The skin selection interface is now sorted alphabetically.
+ The skin selection interface behavior has been changed slightly.
In order to apply a custom tint, you must now click the Apply Tint
button.
+ The default Audio mode skin now has a wider volume bar and
includes a new button that opens the station manager.
+ The Control Bar and OSD Pop-ups are now accessible even when the
player window is set to "Stay on Top".
+ Pressing stop twice was set to resume playback from the position

now a "Resume" OSD message pops up.
+ The Navigation interfaces should work slightly faster, especially
in situations where more complex navigation skins are used (skins
with large transparency effects).
+ When setting the navigation interface's line count, the Equalizer
and Color Control interfaces ignore a value of "-2" as they are

The default values have been updated and you can use the new
default button to set them.
+ The ".iso" and ".img" extensions have been moved from the executable
extension list into the archive extension list. With the latest
version of 7-Zip (www.7-zip.org) installed, you can now extract

to press the default buttons (Adv. Options / System / File Extensions).
+ The Main Navigation interface should appear much quicker now,
especially when accessed while a video is playing.
+ The "/X", "/Y", "/W" and "/H" command line parameters now
function even if Zoom Player is already running, allowing
you to re-position & size the main user interface window
from the command line (previously, these parameters only
worked when initially running Zoom Player).
+ The Media Library and File Browser navigation functions have been
re-ordered for increased usability.
+ The File Association options dialog has been restructured
for additional clarity.
+ You can now specify a +6,+8 or +10 values for the navigation
interface line count.

Copy & Paste functions will now show an OSD message while moving files and
a success/fail OSD message when the file operation completes.
+ The File Browser and Media Library navigation interfaces will now
display the file's icon when using the function pane.
+ If no navigation interfaces are enabled through the options dialog,
the main navigation interface will no longer be accessible.
+ The DVD Fast Forward and Rewind rate now support two more values:
"8/16/32" and "12/24/48".
+ Opening "mms://" addresses should now work a little better.
+ When opening the player with secondary windows open (playlist editor,
equalizer, etc...) the keyboard focus did not remain on the main window.
+ Several items on the right-click menu have been renamed for clarity.
+ The "Add Chapter" function's keyboard macro has been changed from "C" to
Ctrl+Shift+"C".
+ Real-Time Frame rate reporting on the information dialog should now work
with Custom Video Renderers as long as they support the IQualProp interface.
+ The "1600,1601 and 1703" Audio Track CommAPI commands are now accessible
for media files (no longer limited to DVDs).
+ The "1700,1701,1703 and 1704" Subtitle CommAPI commands are now accessible
for media files (no longer limited to DVDs).
+ Updated description of video renderers.
+ When opening the options dialog on a monitor with resolution too low
to display the entire dialog, the dialog will now cover more of the
screen area.

Fixes :
- A bug in the archive extracting code could cause extracted
archive to extract in the wrong directory under some conditions.
- When random play was enabled and only one file was playing,
the "On Play Complete" event was called if the same file was
opened twice.
- The external command to "Enqueue/Play with" Zoom Player has been
moved to a shell extension under Windows 2000/XP/Vista, making it
faster and more reliable.
- Playing the next/previous file in the directory, or using similar
functions such as playing the next/previous file of the same type
in the directory didn't work with UNC paths (network paths).
- When extracting and playing the content of an archive file, the
first file in the archive would be loaded twice in succession.
- Some M3U playlist files wouldn't load properly if the files within
contained ANSI characters which conflicted with UTF8 decoding.
- Setting a custom aspect ratio with a "0" value could cause
Zoom Player to crash with an invalid division by zero error.
- A sorting glitch was fixed in the file browser and media library
navigation interfaces where the "Go to previous directory" option
appeared at the bottom of the file list instead of at the top.
- Deleting entries from the Chapter Browser navigation interface no
longer causes a "Divide by Zero" error in some cases.
- Having both "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio"
and "Prevent moving the user interface off the primary monitor" enabled
could cause a freeze when using the Alt+"4" or Alt+"5" functions to Zoom
the video window beyond the size of the monitor.
- When using the internal image decoder, Zoom Player can now detect
badly named image files (such as PNG files with JPG extension).
Supported mislabeled image formats include: BMP, JPG, PNG.
- Some MJPEG files may not have been detected properly by Smart Play.
- Fix for the Zoom Player Install Center where it wouldn't
recognize certain updates as up to date if they were
installed to a unicode file path.
- The Zoom Player registration key is now searched for in
both the Zoom Player directory and in the application data
directory.
- Pressing "Del" to erase the currently playing file with
other entries selected in the playlist would not remove the
erased file from the playlist.
- ID3/TAG display of unicode file name would show "???" if
the audio file had no ID3 data.
- ID3/TAG display of unicode file name would show "???" if
the audio file ID3 data containing unicode text and the
Windows country code was non-english.
- ID3/TAG display wouldn't always update when loading certain
audio file formats.
- When trying to select a DVD auto-execute software (Adv. Options /
Playback / DVD / DVD Tools), typing in the "New" field would not
enable the "Apply" button.
- The Skip to the next file in the playlist when an unplayable file is
encountered function no longer skips to the next file if the entire
playlist is unplayable. This fix prevents the playlist from looping
in error messages forever.
- Improved Network path support for paths starting with "//".
- The internal image decoder can now load images from network paths.
- Ejecting a drive while listening to streaming media could cause
playback to stop.
- Using the "," character as part of a chapter name would truncate
the chapter name.
- When specifying a transparent color for the Timeline, loading
a different skin that didn't contain timeline transparency would
not clear the transparent regions properly.
- Fixed a bug where applying a custom File Extension Association icon
would not always work properly.
- Failing to load a media file with a background image enabled could
cause the background image to display in an incorrect aspect ratio.
- The TV Pattern mode would incorrectly draw a red vertical line at
some resolutions.
- The background image and circle pattern would not respect the source
relative stretch feature when it was set to a specific monitor (the
stretch value was applied to all monitors).
- Cosmetic fix for the navigation scrollbar widget being slightly
inaccurate position wise.
- Under some conditions, the TCP port would not become accessible.
- File Association should now be working under Windows VISTA with
UAC mode enabled.
- The "Continue to the next item on the playlist when an invalid
file is played" didn't work when the file was missing rather than
corrupt/problematic.
- Using the play next file in the same directory should no longer flash
the media background images between files. This fix also makes the
images load faster.
- When the player was set to "Stay On Top", some options dialog sub-menus
would appear beneath the options dialog, making them inaccessible.
- When Stay On Top was enabled, some interfaces were appearing behind
the main user interface.
- Setting a Playlist Font/Color override would return to the skin values
when switching skin modes.
- When the player window would lose focus, the control bar
stopped auto-hiding.
- With some file formats, the playlist would not update the
total playlist duration properly.
- Enabling the "Show Time Seek Position Over Timeline" feature
would cause the Zoom Player window to become the top-most
window if the mouse cursor hovered over the timeline.
- Trying to open the Options dialog with the main window set
to "Stay on Top" and Zoom Player set to only show an icon on
the tray area would cause the options dialog to appear behind
the main window.
- Monitor Powerdown will no longer be disabled when playing
in windowed mode (Powerdown will only be disabled when
fullscreen).
- Exporting Girder commands while using a local configuration file would
not use the correct window name, preventing the exported girder file
from working.
- More cases of unsupported hardware color control are now detected by the
color control navigational interface.
- Disabling the "'Del' key moves media files to the recycle bin (with
confirmation)" setting would erroneously disable the erase function from
working in the media library and file browsing navigation interfaces.
- Trying to play Audio-CDs through the file browsing navigation interface
would not play the file.
- Detaching the control bar would not snap its position to
the previously saved detached position under some conditions.
- With a detached Control Bar, it was possible for the mouse wheel
functions not to work if the control bar was moved.
- Trying to play streaming content while in DVD Mode would not

--- What's new in v6.00:
New :
* Since a lot of people don't appreciate the changes microsoft
made to Windows Vista with its UAC limitations, the Zoom Player
installer now lets you choose between two modes:
Standard install where dynamic files are saved in the AppData
(Application Data) directory and static files are saved in the
install directory. This is required when running Windows Vista
with UAC enabled or running Windows XP with a limited user account.
Legacy mode where all the files are saved in the selected directory.
This is easier to backup, but wont work properly when running
Vista with UAC enabled or Windows XP on a limited user account.
With Legacy mode selected, the file extension association functionality
is restored to Windows XP levels (UAC under Windows Vista limits some
file extension association functions such as changing file icons).
* To maintain compatibility with Windows Vista's user account control
(UAC) mechanism, the Zoom Player installer (using Standard Install)
will move all files that require modification to the windows Application
Data directory (Can be reached by typing "%AppData%\Zoom Player"
in any folder window).
In addition to the move, user-specified skins must be re-selected
through the skin selection dialog.
* Zoom Player now warns you when it detects you are running in
legacy mode under restricted file access (UAC in Vista or a limited
user account under XP/Vista).
* New "Auto-Configure" button on the Smart Play options dialog.
When clicked, all current decoder configuration will be reset
and then the system is scanned for the best decoder configuration
using the currently installed decoders.
* New F8/F9 skin modes (equivalent to the Onyx Lite skin).
* Full EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) support.
Please note that due to a Microsoft issue/bug, you must use
YUY2 as the colorspace, otherwise color control features
will not function.
* Added support for Haali's Video Renderer technology.
Haali's Video Renderer uses Bicubic interpolation of video using
3D hardware. This means improved video quality, especially when
up-scaling to higher resolution. Older 3D Graphic card may not
be supported (Cards with PS 1.4 or better should work well).
* Zoom Player can now communicate with uTorrent's Web UI interface
in order to display download progress within the Media Library
and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature
is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on
this page for additional information.
* Zoom Player can now keep track with eMule's temporary files directory
in order to display download progress within the Media Library
and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature
is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on
this page for additional information.
* New "Download Manager" navigation interface (Ctrl+"J"), allowing you
to get an overview of your currently downloading files (compatible with
eMule and uTorrent).
* You can now specify additional paths for the File Browser (Adv. Options /
Interface / On Screen Display / Fullscreen Navigation).
New paths appear as drives. You can add network shares (for example
"//USER/Video/" and even local paths such as "C:\Media" creating instant
shortcuts to important directories on your system.
* The File Navigation interface now shows the drive sizes and free space.
* The Chapter editing interface has been modified with a chapter name history
drop-down list and instead of a dialog opening up when adding a chapter,
now you can just type in the chapter name (or pick from the drop-down
history list) and press enter or click the add chapter button, making it
easier to add chapters.
* The Scene Cut editor has been simplified and enhanced. The Scene cut
editor no longer requires you to click on the save button, saving is
done automatically now. A new edit button allows you to edit entries
without having to remove an old entry first. Lastly, the scene cut
interface layout has been updated to make it simpler to use.
* Zoom Player's ".zpl" playlist format has been extended to support
TAG data (author,composer,artist,etc). All TAG data read from
a media file (ID3,ApeTAG,WMA Tag,etc) is automatically saved
within the play list format (allowing you to override TAG data
display without actually modifying the source media file).
* New "Configure Subtitle Filter" button (Adv. Options / Playback /
Video & Subtitles) allowing you to configure the Subtitle filter
more easily.
* Options dialog tree nodes now have an icon to make them easier to
navigate and remember.
* The Media Library, File Browser and Playlist fullscreen
navigation interfaces now offer a "Quick Search" option
allowing you to more easily browse through large listings.
The Quick Search option is accessible by navigating to the
right and selecting the "Quick Search" entry.
* The Media Library and File Browser navigation functions have
been restructured so that the sorting function is now part
of a sub-menu.
* "Select All" and "Clear Selection" functions have been added
to the Media Library and File Browser navigation interfaces
as a sub-menu under the "Select" function.
* The Playlist navigation interface has been restructured so
that the sorting method is now a sub-menu with more sorting
options available (by Size, Directory, Date and Randomly).
* Pressing right on the Playlist history navigation interface
now brings you to the top of the list (the most recently
played item).
* New "Navigation Style" Navigation interface, allowing the
navigation skin to be replaced from within the navigation
interface itself.
* New "Open Navigator" button on the Media Library Path Editor.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Video / Aspect Ratio)
instructing Zoom Player "Derived" Aspect Ratio mode to Automatically
Adjust (fix) the Aspect Ratio for badly encoded content.
This would convert 4:3 content encoded as 720x480 to display as 720x540,
720x576 to 768x576, 352x240 to 352x264, 352x288 to 384x288, etc...
Badly encoded 16:9 content is also adjusted in a similar fashion.
This setting also fixes small aspect ratio inaccuracies caused by a
requirement made by video encoders for the video pixel width or height
to be dividable by 16 (or 8 or 4).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to disable the
delete key from erasing the currently playing file.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to lock filter/decoder
configuration (property) pages to the main user interface (otherwise they
appear as a floating window).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display) allowing you
to select custom DVD & Media background images.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to skip the "Library
Filter Mode" page. With this setting enabled, navigating left on the
media library category list will go straight to the Main navigation menu.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation) allowing you to specify the minimum number of
characters that appear when using Quick Search.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) restoring the ability to "Play all
files in this Directory" from the main file list (file and
media library navigators).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to select if Cut,
Copy & Paste operations allow you to overwrite files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display /
Fullscreen Navigation / Settings) allowing you to highlight previously
viewed files. This setting with the "remember last
media position" setting (Adv. Options / Playback) and will
highlight any previously viewed file in the Media and File
Navigation interfaces by making its icon semi-transparent.
Please note that this feature can tax the CPU if the play
history (generated by remembering the last media position)
is over a few 100 files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to set the
"On Play Complete" event (which triggers when a playlist has
finished playing) to "Randomize & Replay", giving you another
random play method.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to limit
remembering the last media position to media files longer than
a specified amount of minutes. This is useful when you don't want
the last media position remembered when playing short media files.
* New Button (Adv. Options / Playback) allowing you to reset the
Remember Last Position cache (and play history, which use the same data).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you to enable/disable Closed Captions support for media files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you to automatically hide Closed Captions when playing media files.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing
you play media files with the subtitles not showing by default.
* New "Guard Dog" feature (Adv. Options / System).
When enabled, the Guard Dog periodically tests that the Zoom Player
process is responding. If the process stops responding for a
specified number of seconds, the Guard Dog will close the player and
start a new instance using a specified command line parameter list.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / System & Files / Paths, Folders
and Files), allowing you to select the Frame Capture (screenshot)
format. BMP, PNG and JPEG are supported.
* New Auto-Segment load setting (Adv. Options / System & Files /
Paths, Folders and Files), allowing you to match file names
automatically by how similar they are. Press the "?" button
for more details on how the matching works. This feature is
on by default for versions that support it.
* New Function (fnBlankMonitors) assigned to the Alt+Shift+"K"
keyboard macro, allowing you to manually toggle blanking
(black-out) of non-playing monitors. The automatic-blanking
of non-playing monitors is accessible through the options
dialog (Adv. Options / System - Blank non-Playing Monitors
while in Fullscreen / Zoom mode). Pressing ESC restores
any blanked out monitor.
* New Function (fnFSActMonitor) assigned to the Alt+Shift+"Enter"
keyboard macro, allowing you to go fullscreen on the currently
active monitor, overriding the fullscreen to monitor "X" setting.
* New "fnPosToClipboard" function (Alt+Ctrl+"C") allowing you to copy
the current playing position to the windows clipboard (which can then
be pasted in another program).
* The Zoom Player function selection dialog is now split into three
categories: Content, Interface and Control. The function list is
also sorted, making functions easier to find.
* New Vista specific feature allowing you to make the entire
Zoom Player window semi-transparent. This also requires that
you use a video renderer that would work (Haali's/VMR9/EVR)
and that VISTA Aero is enabled. To use:
Alt+Ctrl+F4 = Fully visible window.
Alt+Ctrl+F5 = 80% visibility.
Alt+Ctrl+F6 = 60% visibility.
Alt+Ctrl+F7 = 40% visibility.
You can also specify exact transparency values using the new
"exTransWin" extended function.
* New "exTransWin" extended function, allowing you to specify
a transparency value (1-255) for the Zoom Player window.
This function requires Windows VISTA with Aero enabled.
* New "exRandomPlay" extended function, allowing you to discretely
set the Random Play setting to on/off (compared to the fnRandomPlay
function which toggle between on/off).
* New "exSkinTint" extended function allowing you to set the skin's RGB
tinting value.
Example:
zplayer.exe /exfunc:exskintint,$7F3000
* New "/Browse" command line parameter instructing Zoom Player to open
the specified web address in its internal web browser. This command line
works even if Zoom Player is already running.
Example:
zplayer.exe /browse:http://www.inmatrix.com
* New "/SP:[n]" command line parameter allowing you to turn Smart Play ON/OFF.
To turn Smart Play off use "/SP:0" to turn it on use "/SP:1".
* New "/Color" command line parameter allowing you to set the skin's RGB
tinting value
Example:
zplayer.exe /color:$7F3000
* New "/Config" command line parameter. Using this parameter,
you can specify which local (non-registry) configuration file
Zoom Player should use. This parameter is very useful when running
multiple instances of Zoom Player, each with a different configuration.
If the specified configuration file doesn't exist, Zoom Player will
create one (using the default configuration).
Usage:
zplayer.exe "/config:z:\path to config file\filename.local"
Note that the "" characters are required as this command
line parameter contains spaces.
* New "/Func" command line parameter. This parameter allows
you to instruct Zoom Player to execute functions directly
from the command line.
This parameter can also be used while Zoom Player is running,
enabling simple command-line based automation.
Example for always starting with the Main Navigator open:
zplayer.exe /Func:fnMainNav
For a full function list, see the Function List:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/zpfunctions.shtml
* New "/ExFunc" command line parameter. This parameter allows
you to instruct Zoom Player to execute extended functions
directly from the command line.
This parameter can also be used while Zoom Player is running,
enabling simple command-line based automation.
Example for always starting with the Playlist Editor open:
zplayer.exe /ExFunc:exInterface,2
For a full function list, read the Skinning Tutorial:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/zpfunctions.shtml
* New "/MultInst" command line parameter. Using this parameter
instructs Zoom Player to start another instance of the player
even if Zoom Player's multiple-instances setting is set to
disabled.
* New "/nCols", "/nRows", "/Col" and "/Row" command line parameters
allowing you to divide the active monitor into columns and rows which can
be used to position the player window. The "/nRows" defines the number
of rows, "/nCols" defines the number of columns, "/Col" defines the
active column (starting with column "0") and "/Row" defines the active
row (starting with row "0").
Example:
zplayer.exe /ncols:3 /nrows:3 /col:1 /row:1
* New "/StartPath" command line parameter allowing you to set the initial
path for the file-open dialog and the file browsing navigation interface.

redesigned to take less screen space.
+ The default skin is now selected directly from the skin list,
(as the first skin listed) instead of clicking on the default
skin button.

In order to apply a custom tint, you must now click the Apply Tint
button.
+ The default Audio mode skin now has a wider volume bar and
includes a new button that opens the station manager.
+ The Control Bar and OSD Pop-ups are now accessible even when the
player window is set to "Stay on Top".
+ Pressing stop twice was set to resume playback from the position

+ The Navigation interfaces should work slightly faster, especially
in situations where more complex navigation skins are used (skins
with large transparency effects).
+ When setting the navigation interface's line count, the Equalizer
and Color Control interfaces ignore a value of "-2" as they are

+ The Main Navigation interface should appear much quicker now,
especially when accessed while a video is playing.
+ The "/X", "/Y", "/W" and "/H" command line parameters now
function even if Zoom Player is already running, allowing
you to re-position & size the main user interface window
from the command line (previously, these parameters only

Fixes :
- A bug in the archive extracting code could cause extracted
archive to extract in the wrong directory under some conditions.
- When random play was enabled and only one file was playing,
the "On Play Complete" event was called if the same file was
opened twice.
- The external command to "Enqueue/Play with" Zoom Player has been
moved to a shell extension under Windows 2000/XP/Vista, making it
faster and more reliable.
- Playing the next/previous file in the directory, or using similar
functions such as playing the next/previous file of the same type
in the directory didn't work with UNC paths (network paths).
- When extracting and playing the content of an archive file, the
first file in the archive would be loaded twice in succession.
- Some M3U playlist files wouldn't load properly if the files within
contained ANSI characters which conflicted with UTF8 decoding.
- Setting a custom aspect ratio with a "0" value could cause
Zoom Player to crash with an invalid division by zero error.
- A sorting glitch was fixed in the file browser and media library
navigation interfaces where the "Go to previous directory" option
appeared at the bottom of the file list instead of at the top.
- Deleting entries from the Chapter Browser navigation interface no
longer causes a "Divide by Zero" error in some cases.
- Having both "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio"
and "Prevent moving the user interface off the primary monitor" enabled
could cause a freeze when using the Alt+"4" or Alt+"5" functions to Zoom
the video window beyond the size of the monitor.
- When using the internal image decoder, Zoom Player can now detect
badly named image files (such as PNG files with JPG extension).
Supported mislabeled image formats include: BMP, JPG, PNG.
- Some MJPEG files may not have been detected properly by Smart Play.
- Fix for the Zoom Player Install Center where it wouldn't
recognize certain updates as up to date if they were
installed to a unicode file path.
- The Zoom Player registration key is now searched for in
both the Zoom Player directory and in the application data
directory.
- Pressing "Del" to erase the currently playing file with
other entries selected in the playlist would not remove the
erased file from the playlist.
- ID3/TAG display of unicode file name would show "???" if
the audio file had no ID3 data.
- ID3/TAG display of unicode file name would show "???" if
the audio file ID3 data containing unicode text and the
Windows country code was non-english.
- ID3/TAG display wouldn't always update when loading certain
audio file formats.
- When trying to select a DVD auto-execute software (Adv. Options /
Playback / DVD / DVD Tools), typing in the "New" field would not
enable the "Apply" button.
- The Skip to the next file in the playlist when an unplayable file is
encountered function no longer skips to the next file if the entire
