CODE

* With the Gracious help of Milenko Mitrovic, The Station Manager
can now fetch the Top-500 SHOUTcast radio stations (Internet
connection required) and let you add them to the Station Manager
or play them directly.

* Zoom Player now supports the PNG image format for Background Images,
Folder images, Skinning Elements and the Internal Image Viewer
(which now can also view Windows BMP files).

* New Control file ("zplayer.regfilters") allowing you to automatically
and dynamically register/unregister and set/remove registry settings
when Zoom Player is opened/closed. This is especially useful for
USB Flash Drives (UFD Devices), See:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/mobile.shtml

* New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Other), enabling you to
have Zoom Player save its configuration in a local file within the
Zoom Player directory ("zplayer.local").

The benefit of this feature is that it allows you to run Zoom Player
from external devices such as USB Flash Drives (UFD devices) while
maintaining your personal settings across multiple systems. See:
http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/highlights/mobile.shtml

* New Setting (Advanced Options / Filter Control / Settings), allowing
you to force VMR Video Renderers from trying to compensate for the
Video Aspect Ratio. This setting can help prevent resize artifacts
with certain video formats (similar to the VMR9 Resize Fix).
You need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 for this feature to work.

* New Setting (Advanced Options / DVD / DVD Tools) allowing you to
have Zoom Player wait for "On NTSC/PAL/DVD Stop" executed programs
to close prior to Playing/Stopping the DVD.

* New Value (Advanced Options / Filter Control / Customized Media /
Settings) allowing you to disable Customized Media Playback for
a list of specified extensions.

* New Command Line Parameter "/CLOSE" allowing you to close a
currently running instance of Zoom Player from the command line.

* New Target Parameter on the CreateExButton and DrawExText skin
commands allowing you to create Button and Text labels on the
Control Bar (outside the Dynamic-Button area).

* New functions "fnIncPreAmp" (Ctrl+Home) and "fnDecPreAmp" (Ctrl+End)
allowing to Increase/Decrease the PreAmp volume.

* New TCP/IP Messages 1010,1603,1703,1704,1753,5100,5110,5120.

+ MSVCR70.DLL should no longer be required for playing back
WMV DRM content.

+ When Customized Media Playback fails to create a working graph
for media files, standard mode will now retain the Audio and
Video Renderer selection as used under Customized Media.

+ Improved the Magnetic Docking code so now when switching locations
for the interface, it looks to see which area has more space to
display the interface instead of just switching when the original
location is touching the monitor's border.

+ The DVD Next/Previous Chapter buttons now also act as Next/Previous
titles when you're currently playing the last or first chapters.

+ Auto-Get of Media File Duration/Title should now work better with
formats such as CD Audio, Monkey Audio, FLAC Audio and MPC.

+ Playing Radio Stations will now show the station name on the
Play List Editor if "Use Media Title" is enabled under
"Advanced Options / Values / Play List".

+ Another change to how Zoom Player is opened when an external program
tells it to start maximized. Now Zoom Player will just start in
a regular maximized window.

+ Removed the white border on the gradients pattern, it was bleeding
and making gradients harder to evaluate.

- Fixed a possible cause for freezing when initially loading certain
types of DVDs in VMR9 Renderless mode.

- VMR9 Exclusive Fullscreen Renderless mode should now work on
secondary monitors.

- You should now be able to navigate DVD Menus in renderless
mode using the mouse.

- Pressing Enter/Play on the Advanced Play List Control would
not play the right file.

- Automatic Audio/Subtitle stream selection was not functioning
properly if the Haali Media Splitter filter was not being used.

- "DVD Auto-Execute" values should now properly pass parameters
to the executed programs.

- You can now use negative values on Text/Button skin positioning.

- Fixed more cosmetic skinning issues related to the "Auto-Size User
Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" setting.

- Sorting by "Date" was actually only sorting by "Day" and not the
exact date.

- Loading a QuickTime ".MOV" file using the ActiveX component with
the Zoom Player user interface set to auto-resize to the content
source size should no longer show a cropped initial image.
Now try saying that fast 3 times.

- Fixed a problem when Enqueue from external applications that
could cause a ghost window to flash and possibly cause the
Zoom Player skin to corrupt.

- Loading "ASX" play lists that contain certain character tags
should now work.

- Having Auto-Size user interface to maintain video aspect ratio
enabled would prevent resizing of the user interface in audio mode.

- Auto-Segment loading should no longer add files to the play list
if they already are in the play list.

- Loading an ASX play list with non-UTF8 encoded non-english
character sets should now work more reliably.

- Fixed a bug in the SendMessage API that would report a wrong
DVD/Media mode.




Latest Communication protocol:

CODE

When the SendMessage interface is used, the message number is returned
on the "WParam" value and the message content is returned on the "LParam"
value. If the LParam contain a string, it is stored as an ATOM String.

When the TCP interface is used, the message number is always returned/sent
as a 4-digit code. The message content is seperated by a space character
following the message number. All content is string based and UTF-8
encoded to preserve country specific text codes.

When sending Zoom Player TCP commands, make sure to terminate each
command with CRLF (Ascii #13#10)..

The default TCP/IP port is 4769, but a user can change it under
Advanced Options / Values / Interface.

el modo renderless todavía no se ha perfeccionado al 100%, pero están trabajando en ellos. los menús contextuales pueden activarse con el ratón cuando vemos DVDs.

"Renderless mode is still not perfect, we're working on improving that and might release another special test build for it soon."

No encuentro el apartado de reproducción de medios, ¿sabeis donde está?.

Un saludo

varios apartados se "perdieron" en el traslado al nuevo foro, en concreto faltan 4. están trabajando en ello. paciencia.

Gracias Cirerita, gracias JavierSA, estos dos últimos meses he estado bastante desconectado, cosa espero no pase de ahora en adelante
Edito:

I just got word that Microsoft has finally put out a patch to WMP10 to properly enable WMV-HD acceleration for graphics cards that support it.

ahí va algo "curioso" para los amantes del "cooling": fotos de usuarios que han añadido ventilador(es) a la SS2:

www.scaistar.com/cooling/cooling.htm

a ver si alguien me ilustra:
creo recordar que si ponias el codec de windvd con el ffdshow en el zetape, petaba (que es lo que me pasa) y tocando alguna clave del registro y algo mas se arreglaba, alguien me lo puede recordar??

Gracias

uso muy a menudo intervideo audio y vídeo CON FFdshow en ZP y nunca se me cuelga... ¿quizás te refieres a la entrada del registro para cuando es un DVD PAL?

@oskarssj5:

1) para quitar el audio inglés de las pelis HDTV y poner el castellano del DVD, tienes que seguir al pie de la letra la guía de Ferphobos; está en el apartado "Contribuciones varias".

2) para pasar archivos .ts a un DVD para que te lo reconozca el DVD del salón, tienes que pasar el archivo .ts a mpeg y luego grabarlo. en "Programas útiles" hay un programa que se llama DVR-Studio que te permite seguir todos los pasos necesarios para pasar el archivo .ts a mpeg y grabarlo en un DVD.

3) pega aquí el enlace que dice que te lleva a una página en la que te piden una contraseña... no sé a qué te refieres...

Si creo que era eso, es que en el fijo no tengo problemas (ya que hice el cambio ese), pero en el barebone al darle al play se muere el ZP, Con dscaler y el de powerdvd bien, pero a mi me gusta mas el de windvd.

esto es lo único que he encontrado en mis "archivos":

.- Regfiles
* Pal enable FFDShowWinDVD (use FFDShow with WinDVD) "DXVAPAL"=dword:00000001

espero que te sirva...

para quienes usen MCE, este programa permite convertir los archivos .ts para que sean compatibles con este front-end:

www.dvbportal.de/files/tsconverter-1.0.zip

Tengo varias dudas:

.- En modo VRM9 ¿funcionan los filtros Anisotropic y Antialiasign?
.- En modo VRM9 ¿q configuracion de color hay q poner? ¿ColorMatrix?
.- En modo VRM9 ¿Hay q utilizar Reclock en DVDs?
.- En modo VRM9 ¿Cual es el mejor descompresor de video para archivos HD: TS, DIVXHD, AVI y WMV?. Me gustaria poder utilizar Avisynth..


Graciaaaaaaas

Hola a todos, hago htpc con el siguiente equipo:

a64 3000+
512mb ddr500
radeon 9800pro

Conectado a un lcd de 32" por d-sub a una resolucon de 1360*768/60hz.

Tengo configurado el zoomplayer con avisynth y fddshow y si pongo el resize a 1280*720 me va a tirones, es normal?

Otra cosa, el zp me da un monton de fallos, hay peliculas q no deja verlas, otras q de repente da un error de key o algo asi y tampoco puedo visualizarlas, otras se sale del programa justo antes de empezar la peli...he probado a desinstalar e instalar y nada.

Saludos!!

@chungi11,

desgraciadamente, al migrar de un foro a otro se perdieron 4-5 apartados de las guía que responden la mayoría de tus preguntas (mensajes de error de ZP, los tirones, etc). espero que en breve puedan estar todos los apartados disponibles.

@gn0m4,

no puedo ayudarte mucho porque son temas que no domino ya que apenas uso esas opciones.

1) no uso esas opciones del CCC de ATI, las dejo tal cual vienen por defecto.

2) El color también lo dejo por defecto. Pásate por el foro de ZP, en alguna pregunta Blight mencionaba el asunto de los colores y cuál es la conf. recomendable.

3) se supone que depende de los FPS, ¿no? pues entonces depende del DVD, si es NTSC o PAL. yo lo tengo activado siempre y, si no hace falta, pues no pasa nada porque apenas consume recursos.

4) no entiendo muy bien a qué te refieres. ¿descompresor para qué?

Ok cirerita, gracias. A ver si se recuperan pronto.

De todas formas, mas o menos, con mi configuracion deberia poder poner el resize a 1280*720 y q me fuera bien no? ( con las configuraciones de ffdshow y avisynth del principio)

Saludos!!

en el 1er mensaje de la guía está la respuesta )

Creo que ya esta, no me peta ahora he de ver si se ve.
Gracias

ya lo he visto, mi equipo es algo mejor el tuyo, aunq la diferencia no creo q sea la sufuciente para q me tuviera q ir bien a 1280*720.

Supongo q sera normal entonces.

Saludos!

Últimamente me estoy pegando con algunos front-end tipo MediaPortal y GB-PVR y me he topado con un pozo insondable: el tema de conseguir la lista de programación de Tv. Creo que se hace a través de un programa llamado XMLTV.exe pero no tengo ni idea de cómo se hace, alguien lo ha hecho y puede alumbrarme el camino?

Gracias y un saludo.

creo que Bman domina bastante el tema de los front-end, a ver si se pasa por aquí y te echa una mano... yo no los uso, así que ...

Bueno, pues despues de trastear mucho con el modo VRM9, he quedado convencido que supera con creces a mi anterior config Overlay.
Sobre todo en cuanto a nitidez y limpieza en la imagen.
Todavia me quedan algunos flecos por resolver, pero creo q esto va viento en popa.

Pues ya nos cuentas la config, pues el tema overlay y VRM9 me supera :? si pudieras exponer brevemente el porque de usar una y otra
