In version 9.20 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New

• XBOX controller sticks can now be used to Pan & Scan directshow zoomed video.
• New “Speed” parameter assignable to XBOX controller stick and trigger functions specifies the number of operations per second to perform, customizing motion accuracy for each function.
• The mouse left-click button can now be assigned to Pan & Scan directshow zoomed video.
• When the mouse left-click button is set to “Mouse Gestures”, a new function can be assigned to a static click, by default the function is Play/Pause.
• The DirectShow Zooming & Panning features now apply to the internal image viewer (JPEG/PNG/BMP) as well.
• The internal image viewer (JPEG/PNG/BMP) now supports image rotation by 90 degree increments using the Shift+”R” keyboard macro.
• Video streaming over http is now supported when using the “Open->Streaming link” feature from the right-click context menu.
• New virtual meta-data editing accessible through the playlist editor’s right-click context menu or for the currently playing media using the Ctrl+Shift+”T” keyboard macro.
  The virtual editor saves the meta-data in Zoom Player’s ZPL playlist format without modifying the meta-data within media files themselves.
• New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Smart Play / Settings) that specifies whether http media streaming builds a video or audio graph when the specified URL does not contain a file extension (for example “http://my.ip.com” ).
• New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Playlist) to auto-sort playlists on load (excluding the default playlist used when restarting the player).
• The right-arrow appearing on multiple fullscreen navigation interfaces is now clickable and equivalent of using the right arrow key keyboard macro.
• New button and right-click context menu entry on the playlist editor to add streaming URLs (eg “http://www.somesite.org/folder/channel1.ts”).

changes

• The chapter-points graphical elements in the bundled Onyx and Alba skins is now better color-coded to make it easier to see behind text.
• The auto-part loader now ignores space characters when trying to decide if the next file in the directory should be automatically inserted into the playlist.
• Added a warning to reload the playing media when enabling “Show time seek position over Timeline” setting with “Show position preview thumbnail” previously enabled.
• Added a warning to reload the playing media when enabling the “Display OSD through MadVR’s OSD API (preserves fullscreen exclusive mode)” setting.
• The options dialog is now slightly wider to better account for the width required to display the entire settings tree.
• When playing a live stream, pausing now stops the graph instead of being completely disabled.
• The multi-part file loader will no longer try to find multiple parts when the file loaded is a playlist.
• The play history fullscreen navigation interface now has a small arrow on the active line signifying access to additional functionality.

Fixed

• The ZPL playlist parsing code ignored meta-data such as the title if the playlist entry was a URL (link).
• Fixed multiple issues with M3U playlist parsing, including parsing of UTF8 encoding and meta-data parsing of titles for streaming links.
• Mouse gestures could conflict with the mouse left-click combined with holding the Alt or Ctrl key functions.
• With the “Auto-Save Media Chapter files (“.ZPCHP” files)” setting enabled, chapter files were not being saved automatically under some circumstances.
• A few JPEG orientation modes were not displaying in the correct orientation.
• Setting the “Screen-Align the Control Bar to” setting to “Top” or “Bottom” caused MadVR to drop out of fullscreen exclusive mode every time the control bar was shown.
• With the “Screen-Align the Control Bar to” setting set to “Top” or “Bottom”, the control bar would align within the video in fullscreen mode instead of the top/bottom positions.
• With EVR set as the video renderer, the first time a media was loaded caused a momentary glitch in the skin (black box appearing behind the skin’s button).
• The PreAmp equalizer slider would get reset when the audio was muted if the “Link volume up/down functions to PreAmp volume…” setting was enabled.
• Adding a web page to the playlist and then saving and loading the playlist or just restarting the player would cause the playlist entry to be played as a media file (and failing) instead of opening as a web page.
• The extended fullscreen navigation interface would show “???” instead of displaying unicode language-specific texts.
• Fixed a typo in one of the function descriptions.
