--- What's new in Zoom Player v17.2:


  * The Media Library category editor has been redesigned for clarity
    and ease of use.

  * The Media Library category editor can now be used to select and
    re-order multiple categories in one click, making it much easier
    and faster to re-order categories.

  * The Media Library category editor has been extended with a 
    "Move top" and "Move bottom" buttons to more easily arrange
    your category listing.

  * New "Sort by Runtime" media library feature. In TV categories it
    sorts by the number of episodes in a folder and in Movie categories
    it sorts by the Movie's specified Runtime (not the media's duration
    which may include additional content such as credits).

  * New "Resume Playback" media library feature that's accessible from
    the media library's functions page and the media library's mini-menu
    (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Thumb View).
    
    Resume playback looks for the first unwatched media in the folder
    and then resumes playback from that media.
    
    If no media from the folder has been previously played, it will play
    the first media in the folder (in alphabetical order by Title or
    File name).

    If the last played media in the folder is over the "Consider media
    as watched" percentage threshold, the next media will play in
    alphabetical order by title (if previously scraped), otherwise by
    file name.

  * New "Filter by Star Rating" media library feature.
    Filtering by Star Rating allows you to filter TV and Movie categories
    based on the media's Star Rating.

    You can easily customize each media's star rating to your own personal
    value using the integrated metadata editor, accessible by right-clicking
    a media's thumbnail or through the media library's functions page.

  * New "Filter by Content Rating" media library feature.
    Filtering by Content Rating allows you to filter TV and Movie categories
    based on the MPAA rating assigned to the TV Show or Movie, for example
    "PG-13" or "TV-MA".

  * New "Hide Mouse Cursor in Windowed mode" setting (Adv. Options /
    Interface / Mouse / Setting) that allows the mouse cursor to auto-hide
    even when playing in a window (disabled by default).

  * New setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Smart Play / Settings)
    that adds a delay before connecting the Audio Renderer.
    
    This delay can help avoid audio connection errors when dealing
    with external Receiver/Amp that require a few seconds to initialize their audio
    interface after changing video resolution or refresh rate.

  * Added support for new YouTube URL format when adding YouTube channels
    as media library categories:

    Example:
    https://www.youtube.com/@CowboyKentRollins

  * Support for a new YouTube LIVE URL structure, usually used
    when sharing a video the YouTube mobible app.
    
    Example:
    https://www.youtube.com/live/L5QXreqOrTA?feature=share
    
  * Double-clicking a TV show thumbnail in the media library's TV Jukebox
    mode will now play the episode.

  * New "Edit Last Played" option added to the windowed play
    history's right-click menu, allowing you to manually edit the
    "Last Played" field without actually playing the media.

  * You can now reorder the Available Tags and Collections in the
    media library's cached metadata editor.

  + Zoom Player no longer requires "freeimage.dll" to load. The library
    which is used to display the ".WEBP" image format is now loaded
    dynamically as-needed, saving a bit of RAM while allowing Zoom Player
    to start slightly faster.

  - The media library's unplayed media counter will now adjust the background
    box size if the unwatched media counter is 3 digits or more.

  - Fixed a bug that prevented the media library's right/left bump actions
    from working after a PC was not reset for over a month.

  - Some information was not displayed correctly in the media library for
    YouTube channels containing the "|" character in their channel name,
    video names or video description.

  - Fixed a bug causing ".df" definition files not to save properly when playing
    from shared network paths (e.g. "\\my_server\shared_folder\media.mkv").

  - Wrote a work-around for a bug in Media Portal's TS File Reader filter
    to prevent Zoom Player from freezing on re-play.

    The bug prevents ZP from seeking to 0 and re-playing by returning
    invalid media position values, requiring the media to be fully reloaded.

  - Under some conditions, the media library's filter function would not
    highlight any of the available filtering options and would draw the
    scrollbar widget in the wrong position.

  - Under some conditions, the media library's filter function would not
    bring the active filtering mode into view.

  - Fixed an issue in the Media Library filtering function that
    would allow entries with a similar enough Collection/Tag to
    the active filter to be listed.
