Zoom Player STREAM version 22 release candidate 2What's new, changed and fixed in this beta:
Legend : "*" = New "+" = Changed "-" = FixedNew :
* The Video Streaming Setup Wizard (Ctrl+Shift+"F12" keyboard shortcut) has been redesigned to easily allow you to add multiple subscriptions and URLs (links) to M3U playlists and XML Episode Guides and quickly manage your subscription. * The Video Streaming Windowed interface (Ctrl+"G" keyboard shortcut) now supports displaying WebP icons/thumbnails and uses a place-holder if no image is found or if an unsupported format is used (e.g. SVG). Additionally, icons/thumbnails are now loaded concurrently using multiple threads for faster performance.Changed :
+ You can no longer open the Video Streaming Window or Home Theater interfaces if no playlist sources are defined. In such a case, the Video Streaming Setup Wizard will open instead.Fixed :
- My optimizations in a previous beta broke EPG listing in the Windowed Video Streaming interface. - Fixed a case where opening the Video Streaming Home Theater interface could cause Zoom Player to freeze. - When Zoom Player hid the mouse cursor on inactivity, it didn't re-show the mouse cursor when opening several of Zoom Player interfaces using keyboard shortcuts, making it very difficult to use the newly open interfaces. - For a reason I can't explain, the setting to allow YouTube interactivity was enabled by default, preventing Zoom Player from processing mouse or keyboard events when playing YouTube content through YouTube's official JavaScript API. Since this setting should only be enabled in very special circumstances, I have decided to take the extra step of resetting this setting, allowing Zoom Player to properly process keyboard/mouse events. You can re-enable this setting in Zoom Player's advanced options as-needed. - The Video Streaming Setup Wizard dialog was not properly adjusting to high DPI displays. - Fixed a bug where opening the Video Streaming Window interface and selecting an active playlist, prevents the Video Streaming Home Theater interface from expanding playlists to show their group listing. - Fixed an issue where Video Streaming favorite groups would not list any favorites added from an M3U playlist source. - Zoom Player's screen saver no longer closes the Video Streaming Home Theater interface.
