Announcing Zoom Player MAX and Zoom Player IPTV v20 release candidate 2

Published December 23rd, 2024
What's new in this beta:
* The Media Library's Media Server plugin now supports JukeBox mode for
TV Shows categories.
* The Media Library's Media Server plugin now uses another cache sub-system
to re-open massive categories (over 20,000+ entries) even faster.
* The Media Library's Media Server plugin can now uses server-provided
category thumbnails whenever available.
* The Media Server Browser dialog now uses another (different from the
media server plugin) cache sub-system to re-open massive categories
(over 20,000+ entries) even faster.
* New "Stream connection attempts" IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback /
IPTV). IPTV servers can be overloaded at times and may require more than
one attempt to establish a connection. The default value is now "3"
connection attempts before showing an error.
* You can now edit a media library plug-in's memory cache duration by
opening the category editor (Shift+"M") and pressing the "Configure
Category" button (the default value is specified by the plugin itself).
* The Media Library plug-in API has been extended to allow plugins to
specify their own memory cache duration. The default value for most
plugins is 1 hour. The default value for the media server plugin is
24 hours. Using the "Refresh" option clears the cache and retrieves
fresh data.
+ Media Server Browser's movie categories using an Emby/Jellyfin server
are now recursive (includes all sub-folders) and only show movies
so there is no need to navigate through folders.
+ If you used the beta Media Library's Media Server plugin, you need to
re-create the category, otherwise items may not show as intended and
operations may be significantly slower.
- Fixed an infinite-loop freeze when using the media library with a
network share path (e.g. "\\ServerName\Movies\") folder based category,
entering a sub-folder within that category and later on renaming or
deleting the folder server-side without updating Zoom Player's
media library configuration.
- Fixed a bug introduced in the last beta version that prevented media
library plugins from using the correct cache if the plugin uses a pagination
system (e.g. The YouTube plugins), resulting in any listings added with the
"Load More" entry to reset.
