As you can see from the change list below, there's been plenty of changes since beta 4.

Renderless mode is still not perfect, we're working on improving that and might release another special test build for it soon.

Download Zoom Player v4.50 release candidate 1.

Changes from v4.50 beta 4:
CODE
* With the Gracious help of Milenko Mitrovic, The Station Manager
  can now fetch the Top-500 SHOUTcast radio stations (Internet
  connection required) and let you add them to the Station Manager
  or play them directly.

* Zoom Player now supports the PNG image format for Background Images,
  Folder images, Skinning Elements and the Internal Image Viewer
  (which now can also view Windows BMP files).

* New Control file ("zplayer.regfilters") allowing you to automatically
  and dynamically register/unregister and set/remove registry settings
  when Zoom Player is opened/closed.  This is especially useful for
  USB Flash Drives (UFD Devices), See:
  http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/mobile.shtml

* New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Other), enabling you to
  have Zoom Player save its configuration in a local file within the
  Zoom Player directory ("zplayer.local").

  The benefit of this feature is that it allows you to run Zoom Player
  from external devices such as USB Flash Drives (UFD devices) while
  maintaining your personal settings across multiple systems.  See:
  http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/mobile.shtml

* New Setting (Advanced Options / Filter Control / Settings), allowing
  you to force VMR Video Renderers from trying to compensate for the
  Video Aspect Ratio.  This setting can help prevent resize artifacts
  with certain video formats (similar to the VMR9 Resize Fix).
  You need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 for this feature to work.

* New Setting (Advanced Options / DVD / DVD Tools) allowing you to
  have Zoom Player wait for "On NTSC/PAL/DVD Stop" executed programs
  to close prior to Playing/Stopping the DVD.

* New Value (Advanced Options / Filter Control / Customized Media /
  Settings) allowing you to disable Customized Media Playback for
  a list of specified extensions.

* New Command Line Parameter "/CLOSE" allowing you to close a
  currently running instance of Zoom Player from the command line.

* New Target Parameter on the CreateExButton and DrawExText skin
  commands allowing you to create Button and Text labels on the
  Control Bar (outside the Dynamic-Button area).

* New functions "fnIncPreAmp" (Ctrl+Home) and "fnDecPreAmp" (Ctrl+End)
  allowing to Increase/Decrease the PreAmp volume.

* New TCP/IP Messages 1010,1603,1703,1704,1753,5100,5110,5120.

+ MSVCR70.DLL should no longer be required for playing back
  WMV DRM content.

+ When Customized Media Playback fails to create a working graph
  for media files, standard mode will now retain the Audio and
  Video Renderer selection as used under Customized Media.

+ Improved the Magnetic Docking code so now when switching locations
  for the interface, it looks to see which area has more space to
  display the interface instead of just switching when the original
  location is touching the monitor's border.

+ The DVD Next/Previous Chapter buttons now also act as Next/Previous
  titles when you're currently playing the last or first chapters.

+ Auto-Get of Media File Duration/Title should now work better with
  formats such as CD Audio, Monkey Audio, FLAC Audio and MPC.

+ Playing Radio Stations will now show the station name on the
  Play List Editor if "Use Media Title" is enabled under
  "Advanced Options / Values / Play List".

+ Another change to how Zoom Player is opened when an external program
  tells it to start maximized.  Now Zoom Player will just start in
  a regular maximized window.

+ Removed the white border on the gradients pattern, it was bleeding
  and making gradients harder to evaluate.

- Fixed a possible cause for freezing when initially loading certain
  types of DVDs in VMR9 Renderless mode.

- VMR9 Exclusive Fullscreen Renderless mode should now work on
  secondary monitors.

- You should now be able to navigate DVD Menus in renderless
  mode using the mouse.

- Pressing Enter/Play on the Advanced Play List Control would
  not play the right file.

- Automatic Audio/Subtitle stream selection was not functioning
  properly if the Haali Media Splitter filter was not being used.

- "DVD Auto-Execute" values should now properly pass parameters
  to the executed programs.

- You can now use negative values on Text/Button skin positioning.

- Fixed more cosmetic skinning issues related to the "Auto-Size User
  Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" setting.

- Sorting by "Date" was actually only sorting by "Day" and not the
  exact date.

- Loading a QuickTime ".MOV" file using the ActiveX component with
  the Zoom Player user interface set to auto-resize to the content
  source size should no longer show a cropped initial image.
  Now try saying that fast 3 times.

- Fixed a problem when Enqueue from external applications that
  could cause a ghost window to flash and possibly cause the
  Zoom Player skin to corrupt.

- Loading "ASX" play lists that contain certain character tags
  should now work.

- Having Auto-Size user interface to maintain video aspect ratio
  enabled would prevent resizing of the user interface in audio mode.

- Auto-Segment loading should no longer add files to the play list
  if they already are in the play list.

- Loading an ASX play list with non-UTF8 encoded non-english
  character sets should now work more reliably.

- Fixed a bug in the SendMessage API that would report a wrong
  DVD/Media mode.


Latest Communication protocol:
CODE
When the SendMessage interface is used, the message number is returned
on the "WParam" value and the message content is returned on the "LParam"
value.  If the LParam contain a string, it is stored as an ATOM String.

When the TCP interface is used, the message number is always returned/sent
as a 4-digit code. The message content is seperated by a space character
following the message number.  All content is string based and UTF-8
encoded to preserve country specific text codes.

When sending Zoom Player TCP commands, make sure to terminate each
command with CRLF (Ascii #13#10)..

The default TCP/IP port is 4769, but a user can change it under
Advanced Options / Values / Interface.

This new release works great! There are many new options that are useful and the changes that were made fixed several issues that I had before.

Thank you! smile.gif

Should the DefaultSettings.exe delete the zplayer.local?
I would appreciate a setting to put these files (zplayer.local, zplayer.playcache, dvd bookmarks ) in an user definded directory.

Nice to see the command acknowledgment for TCP/IP implemented. smile.gif

But it seems, that every command is echoed twice.
Is this a bug or is there a special meaning? (Like one echo before the command is executed and the second after it has finished?)

bitmonster:
on which command? The current ZP function ack code just throws the command you send it back to you after it's executed.


bartman:
It's funny how these things work, I actually changed the ZP code to move quite a bit of the configuration code to a different variable so that it can indeed be supported outside of the ZP directory. The question is, how to integrate something like that...

Just another input field in the options wink.gif
blank or . would mean the ZP dir
../ZP Config a folder parallel to the ZP directory
%APPDATA%\Zoom Player would support per user config.

Don't mind, it was my fault. wub.gif
My code showed events twice by fault if they are not known and since these ack codes are new...
I didn't realized it at first, since all other codes worked as expected.

it's not that simple as if you save the settings in a different directory, it wouldn't know where that is if it has to load the settings from a different dir... see the logic.

If the config directory is some kind of a "global" setting it should work.
btw. how is it handled, whether the settings are read from the registry or from the local file? Is just checked if the file exists?

bart:
The file is loaded into the registry and removed from the registry when ZP is closed. I'm not sure if it will be any faster reading directly from the file as the registry is a semi-advanced database, and I don't want to put any heavy database code into ZP (memory use concerns).

On my system the slowdown of using an external file is well under 1 second.

Thanks, Blight! Appreciate it! Weird thing, though: When playing DivX with FFDShow resize (which was one of the reasons for my request for this one - the other one was PowerStrip to set the correct refresh for PAL/NTSC) it seems I have to set aspect ratio to "Disabled (Fit to Window)" to get it right. If not, the image has room on both sides and seems slightly to high. With "Disabled" the AR is totally correct. Is this possible to send as a command line switch?

Would a function like this for media files be difficult/a lot of work to implement?

btw did you decide not to include any finished 3D UI in this one, or isn't anything finished yet?

It wont accept anything with parameters in it.

EDIT:I am soooo sorry. It works.Delete this. thank u for the fix:DS

Also, when running renderless, a change from full screen to windowes makes it pop. I suppose that's to be expected since the movie is stopped and restarted, but is there a way around that? And I think it doesn't work on shortcuts (lnk), only exe and bat.

Hi Blight,

Sadly, you still don't have this quite right. ZP now starts full screen. This is no better than how ZP behaved before. If the ZP window only covers 320x240 (or whatever) of the screen when you open the file via ZP, it should only cover the same portion of the screen when the movie is opened in ZP by any application. I honestly don't see what is so hard about getting this right - ZP is the only application that has this problem. As I have stated before, neither MPC nor Windows Media Player have this problem. When the movies are set to open in either of these 2 players, and the program calls them, they open at the same size as the movie (which would indicate to me that either the program is not calling them maximised like you think it is and thus the bug is in ZP, or they are ignoring the maximise command like they should do in which case you need to code ZP to ignore a maximise command - I think it is the former option though). Change movie associations back to ZP though, and you get this damned huge window on your screen, with really grainy video (cause it is trying to size a less than full screen movie to full screen). thumbdown.gif

There's a bug when exporting a Girder GML that causes Girder not to open or import the file:

CODE
<Command Name="OSD-Popup of the current Date & Time"


should be

[CODE]<Command Name="OSD-Popup of the current Date &amp; Time" [QUOTE]

Argh, damn this "&" bug, I was sure I fixed it once already. Nevermind, fixed for sure now.

3D UI is problematic... it's on hold for this version, renderless mode will remain as experimental.

I'm not sure I get the relationship between aspect ratio and the wait for stop feature.

And the change from fullscreen to window makes what pop? the background image? Yes, that will happen as the video is reloaded. And I'm not sure what you mean by the shortcut reference.

I don't get what you mean... when these external applications start ZP, they start ZP maximized... I know that for sure, so that what ZP will do, start maximized. I checked how it works with WMP and it starts the same way.

Blight, I don't get it. With each release the same problem persists for me. Pleeeeeaasse help me. I desperately would like this to work. Ok, enough whining.

Using the reg entry OPRSVSync = 2, I can only playback in fullscreen exclusive mode. If I minimize zoom player errors out "Unable to create the "Video Mixing Renderer 9" filter." If I don't use the entry then zoom player behaves normally but playback is very stuttery. Additionally, I cannot use the context menu option even in fullscreen mode with vmr9 renderless mode. Interestingly, I use VNC to access that host then I can see the context menu. Is there some output I can send to you for troubleshooting? It looks like I am the only one suffering from this but I don't get it. I am able to reproduce the same behaivor on another host with a different OS and video card. I have tried every conceivable option and defaulted my video card settings and had rebuilt my OS. No combination of options lets me use renderless in anything other than fullscreen with oprsvsync. Currently my box looks like this

Windows XP MCE 2005
AThlon 64
Nvidia 6600GT with 72.45 drivers
16x AA
16x AF

latest zoom player
latest Descaler (thought the problem persists with every video driver)

Thanks

Hi Blight.

Yes, they start ZP maximised...but only because ZP is faulty. As I stated, MPC and WMP do not exhibit this behaviour, and as I've stated before in my other posts on this, I can't contact the authors of each and every movie database to ask them to change their code because ZP is the only player that doesn't work properly. I just can't see the problem for you - if you contend that ZP starts maximised because the databse programs make it so (which I don't believe), thsn simply change the ZP code so that ZP starts in a normal window (not maximised, not full screen, just a normal window like it does when you double click on the movie file in Explorer), and then we will see who is right.
