"+"  = Changed
"-"  = Fixed



New :

    * I have designed an entirely new Streaming Video Home Theater interface.

      You can access the new interface by: 

      1. Using the right-click menu under "Home Theater".

      2. Using the Shift+"G" keyboard shortcut.

      3. Navigating through the home theater main interface (assuming
         the Streaming Video setting is enabled in Zoom Player's advanced
         options).

      4. By assigning it as a button in the control overlay's advanced
         options page.


      What works:

      1. Playing streams.

      2. Playing VOD movies & series.

      3. Playing archive (catch-up) programs.

      4. EPG Grid & List view modes.

      5. Multiple playlists.

      6. You should be able to easily control and navigate the
         interface using a mouse, keyboard or remote control.

      7. The Streaming Video Home Theater interface is fully customizable.
         From colors to element sizes, press the top bar's paint
         brush button to begin customizing:

      What's not yet implemented :

      1. Search / Filtering.

      2. VOD Movies/TV Series meta-data display.

      3. Stream logos next to stream names.

      4. Manual refresh Playlist/EPG database button.

      5. Playing stream indicator

      6. Fancy animations.

    * Moved the Video Streaming's Player API JSON playlist caching code to
      run in the background as soon as new playlists are downloaded which
      should help both the Video Streaming Windowed and Home Theater
      interfaces to open much faster.

    * Rewrote the Video Streaming's Player API JSON playlist caching code to
      a binary format, increasing both reliability and performance.

    * The Video Streaming's Player API JSON playlist parsing now processes
      the "Live / Series / Movie" JSON playlists concurrently using multiple
      threads, increasing parsing speed by 20-50% depending on your system
      and content provider.



Changed :

    + The Chapter/Bookmark editor no longer forces you to pick a title before
      adding an entry. If no title is specified, only the time is listed.




Fixed :

    - Using the Refresh button on the Video Streaming window was a bit
      confusing when used with multiple playlists/providers as it showed
      you that there's an update ready after each playlist/provider finished
      downloading. This caused a weird state where it wasn't very clear
      what's going on.

    - Fixed an issue with the 12/24 hour time format displayed in some areas,
      hopefully for good this time.

    - Fixed an issue with seeking to the next/previous chapter where the
      seeking was only accurate to the second instead of sub-second.

    - Fixed a freeze when re-opening the Video Streaming window (Ctrl+"G")
      due to a unicode line separator character I wasn't expecting in
      JSON playlists.
