Announcing Zoom Player and Zoom Player IPTV v20 beta 4

What's new in this beta:

  * In an effort to modernize Zoom Player's Home Theater look & feel, I've been
    working with Godwin on a new icon style. Simple, clean, subtle shading.
    With each beta, I'm including the latest icons, some of which are not in
    their final state.
    
    Another small tweak I made is to the Home Theater interfaces title area. It
    is now using a more standard font & color, reducing the number of different
    fonts used on-screen for a cleaner look.

    If you would like to comment on the new design, leave me a post on reddit:

  * Since neither of the Subtitle components used by Zoom Player (DirectVobSub
    and xySubFilter) support VTT subtitles, I wrote code to dynamically convert
    ".VTT" files to ".SRT" files on the fly.

    The temporary ".SRT" files are saved to the windows temp folder and are
    erased as soon as the media closes. This feature only works on external
    subtitle files.

  * Added smart play profiles for Audiobooks in the ".M4B" and ".AAX" formats.

  * Added "AAX" as a default Audio file extension format. This change is not
    applied automatically to existing installation, you can apply it by
    clicking the "Default" button next to the audio extensions under "Advanced
    Options / File Format Association / File Extensions".

  * Added a button to the Media Server setup dialog (Adv. Options / Playback
    / Media Server) to apply the server's (Plex/Emby/Jellyfin) default local
    port to the specified URL.

  + If a Media Server URL is specified without an "http/https" prefix,
    "http" is now assumed by default.

  - When streaming media using libVLC, under some unknown condition, libVLC
    starts sending 1000's of time-changed events to Zoom Player every second,
    causing Zoom Player's user interface to freeze under the load. I wrote
    custom code to filter out all the duplicate events to work-around this
    issue.

  - The setting to go fullscreen on play was accidentally disabled in
    Zoom Player IPTV.

  - An authentication failure on a Media Server could have caused that media
    server's profile to disappear.

  - Fixed a bug in the previous beta where Zoom Player tried to automatically
    set local ports for media servers, preventing servers that work on the
    default http/https ports from connecting if you didn't specify the port.

  - Fixed TCP/IP Command & Control API message #1702 returning duplicate
    subtitle entries.
