Announcing Zoom Player v18 release candidate 1

  * Opening the IPTV interface for the first time now offers you the option
    to automatically download free, child-friendly, publicly available IPTV
    channels from around the world through the Free-TV project:
    https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV

  * Using the "Play Stream" button on the IPTV interface will no longer try
    to play an EPG program and will always try to play the channel live.

  * New "Play Program" button on the IPTV interface. The "Play Program"
    button is used to play archived IPTV programs. If the channel does not
    support archive playback or if the selected program is no longer
    (or not yet) archived, the "Play Program" button will remain disabled.

  * New "Add Free Channels" button (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that
    adds free, child-friendly, publicly available IPTV channels from around
    the world through the Free-TV project.

  * You can now control outdated EPG programs background colors
    (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV), making it easier to distinguish
    which programs have already aired.

  * Support for more IPTV Archive playback schemes (including "Flussonic").

  * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to specify the symbol
    used to highlight archive channels in the IPTV stream list.

  - No longer marking IPTV channels as archive if their "catchup-days"
    value is "0".

  - The Playlist Editor's search box did not support unicode characters.

  - You can now use Ctrl+V to paste Unicode text into the Playlist Editor's
    search box (including special characters such as Emoji).

  - Fixed a bug that could cause Zoom Player to freeze when trying to
    play YouTube URLs containing a space character after the URL.
