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.
