Na twee bètareleases heeft Inmatrix nu de eerste release candidate van Zoom Player 6.00 uitgebracht. In het begin van de ontwikkeling kreeg deze mediaspeler nog 5.50 als versienummer mee, maar aangezien de lijst met veranderingen zo lang werd, is door de ontwikkelaars besloten om dat maar naar 6.0 op te hogen. Zoom Player is normaal gesproken verkrijgbaar in de smaken Standaard, Professional en WMV Professional, die uiteraard verschillende mogelijkheden en prijzen hebben. De standaardversie is als enige gratis te gebruiken en speelt de meest gangbare formaten af. De pro-variant kan daarnaast ook gebruikt worden om dvd's af te spelen en de WMV Professional-versie ten slotte kan ook drm-content afspelen. Op dit moment is de gratis standaardversie niet beschikbaar. Hieronder is te zien wat er sinds de tweede bèta allemaal veranderd is:
Changelog from version 6.00 beta 2:[break]De volgende downloads zijn beschikbaar:
- Full EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) support. Please note that due to a Microsoft issue/bug, you must use YUY2 as the colorspace, otherwise color control features will not function.
- New "Configure Subtitle Filter" button (Adv. Options / Playback / Video & Subtitles) allowing you to configure the Subtitle filter more easily.
- Added support for the ".CBR" and ".CBZ" comic book formats to the archive extraction tool.
- New "fnPosToClipboard" function (Alt+Ctrl+"C") allowing you to copy the current playing position to the windows clipboard (which can then be pasted in another program).
- New "exSkinTint" extended function allowing you to set the skin's RGB tinting value.
Example: zplayer.exe /exfunc:exskintint,$7F3000- New "/Color" command line parameter allowing you to set the skin's RGB tintint value
Example: zplayer.exe /color:$7F3000- New "/nCols", "/nRows", "/Col" and "/Row" command line parameters allowing you to divide the active monitor into columns and rows which can be used to position the player window. The "/nRows" defines the number of rows, "/nCols" defines the number of columns, "/Col" defines the active column (starting with column "0") and "/Row" defines the active row (starting with row "0").
Example: zplayer.exe /ncols:3 /nrows:3 /col:1 /row:1- New "/StartPath" command line parameter allowing you to set the initial path for the file-open dialog and the file browsing navigation interface.
- The File Navigation interface now shows the drive sizes and free space.
- New "1130" CommAPI command that retrieves the currently playing frame rate per second (FPS). This is the same value seen on the information dialog ("I" keyboard macro).
- New "1140" CommAPI command that retrieves that estimated frame rate per second (FPS). This value is not 100% accurate as some formats do not have a fixed frame rate or simply do not report a frame rate. In cases where the real FPS is unattainable, an estimated FPS value is returned.
- New "1811" CommAPI command allowing you to retrieve the number of items in the current playlist. This message is also shown when the playlist item count is modified.
- The options dialog tree view is now vista skinned.
- uTorrent passwords are no longer plain-view. If you've used this feature, you need to re-enter your password.
- The "1600,1601 and 1703" Audio Track CommAPI commands are now accessible for media files (no longer limited to DVDs).
- The "1700,1701,1703 and 1704" Subtitle CommAPI commands are now accessible for media files (no longer limited to DVDs).
- The Alt+"S" keyboard macro that shows the subtitle filter configuration dialog can now be used without any media playing.
- If no navigation interfaces are enabled through the options dialog, the main navigation interface will no longer be accessible.
- The installer now copies files over between standard and legacy installations (previously the files were only copied between legacy and standard installations). This could cause cases where the registration key not found.
- Exporting Girder commands while using a local configuration file would not use the correct window name, preventing the exported girder file from working.
- The "/F:[x]" and "/Z:[x]" parameters did not go Fullscreen on the right monitor if Zoom Player was in window mode.
- Fixed a buffer overlow issue thanks to Luigi Auriemma.
- Fixed a number is not integer error with the uTorrent file tracker.
- The Zoom Player install center would not allow you to configure filters if Zoom Player was installed in a unicode directly.
- Loading ".WPL" playlist containing network addresses should now look for the files over the network rather than in a local path.
- The basic options dialog tree list wouldn't translate properly.
- The fusion skin now has a black video area (previous video area was dark gray, which didn't confirm to video display standards).
