What's new in Zoom Player v22.5 release candidate 1:
Legend : "*" = New "+" = Changed "-" = FixedNew :
* The media library's search feature (using the magnifying glass or now the "Quick Search" option on the functions page) will now show a full multi-lingual virtual keyboard, allowing you to search for items within a media library category with only the mouse, keyboard or a remote control (previously you had to use both a mouse and a keyboard to utilize this feature). * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Home Theater) that lets you control the media library's Virtual Keyboard size relative to the currently active monitor. * New "Mark as Unseen" option in Zoom Player's media library's functions page to make it easier to setup when re-watching. When used, selected entries or entire folders can be easily removed from the play history. * Added two new settings to "Advanced Options / System" allowing you to automatically scale (multiply) the default PixelArt skin elements based on the start-up or current monitor. * Added a more accurate "Duration" listing on the info page ("I" keyboard shortcut). * DirectShow Zoom & Pan features are now supported when using MPC-VR as the video renderer.Changed :
+ The "Quick Search" media library function feature now opens the virtual keyboard instead of a prefix list. + The DirectShow Zoom-In function is now limited to 1000% (x10) Zoom instead of the previous 10000% (x100) due to some video renderers (e.g. MPC-VR) failing to show an image at the 10000% mark. + Small improvement to the TheMovieDB meta-data scraper.Fixed :
- Zoom Player should now use the default Windows fonts for interfaces that are not skinned (e.g. Options dialog). This should fix cases where fonts may not appear to have anti-aliasing enabled on foreign language version of Windows. - Hopefully fixed a case where the "new version available" pop-up doesn't show on a turned-off secondary monitor. - When using the Media Server browser (PLEX/Emby/Jellyfin), right clicking a media entry could result in the media's extended information window appearing behind the Media Server browser window. - The "Reset user interface size to default" function (Ctrl+"`" keyboard shortcut) accidentally remained functional while in fullscreen mode.
