What's new in Zoom Player v23 release candidate 1:

 Legend :

"*"  = New
"+"  = Changed
"-"  = Fixed


New :
    * New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Audio), enabled by default
      automatically pitch-corrects audio when using the fast play or slow
      motion features with the DirectShow media engine.

      Previously you had to use the MPC Audio Renderer to achieve this,
      now it's default across all renderers.

    * New setting (Adv. Options / System), enabled conditional on the
      TCP/IP Remote Control API being enabled. Allows Zoom Player to
      announce it's available on the local network.
      
      This allows ZP Remote Neo, Zoom Player's official remote control app
      for Android to automatically locate and control Zoom Player with
      minimal setup.
      
      Please note that this feature only works if your Windows network
      is configured as "Private". If the network is configured as a public
      network, then for security reasons, the discovery feature is
      automatically disabled.

    * Added support for Pixel shaders when using MPC-VR as the video renderer.
      MPC-VR in DirectX-11 mode use DirectX-11 script, so there is now
      a new "DX9/DX11" tab on the pixel shader page (Adv. Options / Playback /
      Video / Pixel Shaders) where you can choose or add new scripts.

    * You can now apply/save video blanking presets using the Video Blanking
      home theater interface.

    * New "Reset" option added to the Video Blanking home theater interface.

    * New "Save screenshot" option on the right-click context menu under the
      "Download / Save" sub-menu.

Changed :
    + The "Download" sub-menu on the right-click context menu has been
      renamed to "Download / Save".

    + When exporting a channel in the Windowed Video Streaming interface
      to a Windows Shortcut file, the exported file name now replaces
      invalid file name characters with their unicode look-a-like instead
      of using HTML encoding. So "|" will look similar instead of showing
      as "&pipe".
        
Fixed :
    - Using yt-dlp to parse URLs on streaming sites could timeout and fail
      if the PCs has an app installed that replaces Windows `cmd.exe` as
      the command line shell. For example `Take Command Console`.

    - A routing error could have caused libVLC to get used for YouTube
      playback instead of the default IFRAME javascript player.

    - Fixed a few issues related to playing media files from a really
      long path.

    - Fixed a case where installing Zoom Player into a single folder when
      a previous version was installed into the standard two folder structure,
      Zoom Player's configuration was not saved/loaded correctly.

    - When using the video-blanking feature, multimedia keys/events were not
      relayed and processed properly.
    
    - External engine compatibility fixes.
