Reset Play-Rate when opening a new media file
Play Rate is the factor that controls Fast Play and Slow Motion. If this setting is disabled, opening new media files
will retain the Fast Play or Slow Motion rate used for playing the previous file (the newly open file will be in Fast Play
or Slow Motion).
Reset Play-Rate on Play / Pause
With this setting enabled, pressing pause/play will cancel out Fast Play or Slow Motion.
Frame Advance if Pause is used when already Paused
If enabled, pressing Pause while already paused will cause Zoom Player to advance one frame.
Increase / Decrease Rate uses "Fast Play / Slow Motion" instead of Fast "Forward / Rewind"
When enabled, the Play Rate control interface (can be accessed in the default skin by pressing F5)
will switch between "Fast Forward and Rewind" and "Slow Motion and Fast Play".
Stop Button closes media file (instead of "stop and go to start of file")
By default, pressing stop just seeks to the start of the file and pauses there. With this setting enabled,
Zoom Player will close the currently playing media file.
Media Fast Forward Rate
The fast forward speed when activating the fast forward function (values range from 2 to 50) when playing media files.
Media Rewind Rate
The rewind speed when activating the rewind action (values range from 2 to 50) when playing media files.
Media Fast Play Rate
Unlike Fast Forward which just seeks really fast, Fast Play actually plays the content faster and maintains
the audio. Due to the way microsoft wrote their audio rendering code, the Fast Play value is limited to "2.2" even
if your hardware is capable of decoding the content faster. A workaround for the 2.2 limitation is to use
"Reclock" as your audio renderer. Not all media formats support Fast Play.
Media Slow Motion Rate
The slow motion speed when activating the slow motion action (values range from 0.01 to 0.99) when playing media files.
Not all media formats support Slow Motion.
FF/RW Rates
Beyond the Fast Forward/Rewind speeds, Zoom Player also supports an Increase/Decrease Rate functions which cycle through
different fast forward and rewind speeds. This setting control the values that the rate functions cycle through.
Seconds to Skip / Jump / Seek
Fast Forward and Rewind are not the most intuitive ways to seek through content. Directly seeking back and forth
a specified number of seconds is actually much faster and more accurate. Zoom Player gives you access to three
distinct quick-seek modes based on the number of seconds you want to seek back and forth.
Modulate Skip / Jump / Seek
With this setting enabled, seeking through the three available seek modes quickly (activating the seeking function
a few times in a row) will gradually increase the seeking distance. Waiting 2 seconds will restore the seek
distance to the original speed.
Volume + / - Change (percent)
When changing the audio volume through the keyboard or a remote device, this setting allows you to control the
volume percentage that will be changed with each click.
Delay after closing media files (ms)
Under very rare conditions the components used to play media files may not clear themselves instantly and may require
a short delay to do so before the next media file is played. Using this setting you can specify a delay between
media files, giving them more time to clean-up. The value is in ms (1000ms = 1 second).
