+ The Install Center has been redesigned for greater simplicity and clarity.
+ When running Window XP (or newer), Zoom Player now uses a Natural Sorting algorithm rather than the default ASCII Sorting.
For example, using ASCII sorting, files would be listed as:

2.avi
3.avi
With Natural sorting, the same files would be listed as:
1.avi
2.avi
3.avi
10.avi
+ The default navigation skin no longer uses font-outline. The design doesn't really require it and the performance benefits merit the change. You now have the option to override the navigation interface's font-outline in case you're not satisfied with the change.
+ The Local setting file saving procedure has been hardened to make it more resilient to system crashes.

Fixes :
- The installer used administrator privileges to write the profile files (Smart Play, Equalizer, Skin tint), preventing the player from modifying the profiles when running with UAC enabled (user privileges). The new installer fixes this issue on existing systems.
You can to erase the old "virtualstore" files under: "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Zoom Player"
- Depending on your version of windows and if UAC is enabled, the file association options dialog would show incorrect information (wrong icon, or indicate that Zoom Player was associated with the extension even if it wasn't).
- Exporting Zoom Player's setting from the options dialog, would fail if UAC is enabled.
- The Zoom Player Install Center auto-configuration did not work on systems with UAC enabled or limited account access.
- The Install Center now identifies 3rd party 64bit installations (e.g. 7-zip). Thanks Gleb Egorych, Midiboy.
- CD Audio Playback was broken when used in Windows 7.
- There was a problem with Windows 7 hiding the Zoom Player tray icon even when setting the icon to always show. This was caused by the tool-tip for the icon containing the playing file name, which differs greatly between multiple files. To fix this issue, 'Zoom Player' is now displayed before the playing file name.
- Opening files from the command line would cause the file path to be modified to uppercase, breaking playback from Linux based NAS devices.
- Fixed compatibility with uTorrent v3.
- Fixed the following visual glitches when a high DPI system font is used:
1. The options dialog "File Association" icons did not display correctly.
2. The "Add Filter" dialog's legend section did not draw correctly.
3. Some text was truncated in the options dialog.
4. The station manager station list items were partially cropped.
5. The skin selector skin list items were partially cropped.
6. The Install Center items were partially cropped.
7. The Smart Play Source, Splitter and Decoder configuration dialogs cropped some of the displayed entries.
8. The Smart Play filter blacklist cropped some of the displayed entries.
9. The Options dialog archive playback extension list cropped some of the displayed entries.
10. The registered filter manager dialog was improperly sized to the point where buttons could overlap.
- When setting a large font for the playlist editor or setting a higher Font DPI value for windows as whole, the playlist fonts would become truncated at the bottom.
- The "Switch resolution on Fullscreen" setting did not perform as expected.
- Trying to open a ".lnk" ShortCut file that pointed to a folder would show an error message instead of opening the folder's content.
- When using MadVR fullscreen exclusive mode in combination with auto-changing monitor resolution on fullscreen, exiting fullscreen did not restore the original monitor's resolution. Thanks Hawke.
- Dragging the player window by clicking "Ctrl + Left mouse button" (or other configured setting) within the video area was broken in Windows Vista and Windows 7 when certain video renderer were used (VMR7/VMR9/ Haali/MadVR). Now there's a workaround in place that ensures the window is dragged to the correct location (with minor flickering at times).
- The "Adv. Options / Interface / Display - Enlarge folder image to fit video area" setting now performs as expected.
- The ID3/TAG display used the character set (used to convert ANSI to Unicode) defined by the Navigation font instead of the ID3/TAG font.
- When the "Auto-Size User Interface to fit Source Video Resolution" setting is enabled, opening a media file with an image resolution larger than the current screen, now limits the image resolution to the screen's resolution. If the new resolution causes the player window to resize itself beyond the screen's resolution, the player window will be pulled back into the screen automatically.
- The "/OpenDrive" command line parameter did not detect Blu-Ray drives properly.
- The "Prefer HD content as the main movie if the track duration is longer than (minutes)" Blu-Ray setting didn't compare the track time correctly.
- The fullscreen monitor (Adv. Options / System) value would get reset if the selected monitor was no longer available (the monitor was off). The value is now preserved and if the monitor is not available, the player will go fullscreen on the primary monitor.
- When playing DVR-MS files, the "Stop" function didn't seek to the beginning of the media file.
- Pressing "R" to cycle through the aspect ratio modes no longer resizes the player window if "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" is enabled. If you try to move or resize the window after setting the Aspect Ratio, it will snap into shape.
- The right-click Open URL feature is now better adapted to opening SHOUTcast radio stations using the following format: http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=[number]
- If Smart Play was disabled, Zoom Player would not use the selected Audio Renderer if the "MPC Audio Renderer" was installed and not chosen.
- When using the "Disable Smart Play for files with the following extensions" feature, the selected Audio and Video renderers weren't used, but rather windows (DirectShow) selected its own renderers. Now, you can select if you want Zoom Player or Windows to select the renderers (see above).
- Trying to play a DVD's "VIDEO_TS.IFO" file in media mode would not remove the background image before starting to play the DVD.
- You can now seek, pause and play streaming MMS content.
- The "CUE" chapter parsing code has been rewritten. It now parses unicode/ascii charsets correctly and loads meta-data information (Perfomer/Genre/etc). Thanks Orf.

- The Play History stored the played files in lower case instead of their original case.
- The Stop/Resume function didn't work if stop was pressed in the first 3 seconds of playback.
- The next/previous chapter and track functions can now continue to the next file in the directory when a file fails to load.
- When a custom video renderer does not support the "IBasicVideo2" interface, the Derived aspect ratio value is taken from the source video aspect ratio.
- The "xvid" profile is no longer used to verify that SmartPlay is properly configured.
- When using FFDShow as the Subtitle renderer, subtitles are now ordered alphabetically.
- Fixed a crash when using the FFDShow Subtitle renderer.
- Fixed a crash when trying to play MP3/FLAC/APE audio files with an embedded "BMP" album art image.
- Unchecking the "Enable TAG display" setting would hide the entire display, including the background image rather than just the TAG display.
- When disabling "Draw Text Background" for Audio TAG display, the bottom line (usually the "YEAR" field) would get cropped out.
- Fixed a complete freeze when playing audio files containing corrupt ID3 tags.
- Folder image base names did not recognize the use of paths. Thanks Orf.
- Unchecking "Save last play time and date" from "Adv. Options / Playback / History" would cause Zoom Player to forget any new items played the next time Zoom Player was restarted.
- Clicking the "Switch to Basic Mode" or "Switch to Advanced Mode" Options dialog buttons lost any modified settings.
- The "Automatically restore volume level on replay with video files" setting was not remembered after a Zoom Player restart.
- Choosing to hide the Zoom Player task bar icon would fail (the icon would reappear) under certain circumstances.
- The GuardDog feature no longer restart Zoom Player if the internal screen saver is active.
- Fixed a memory leak when trying to open corrupted JPEG/PNG images or JPEG images in the CYMK print format (which is not supported).
- Fixed a list index out of bounds crash when Random Play was enabled and the "On Playlist Complete" setting was not set to "Auto Replay".
- Fixed an "Out of Resources" crash when trying to set the Zoom resolution to a extremely high value (over 16384x16384, which is now the limit).
- Fixed a very old bug where opening a media file through non-media library interfaces would prevent the fullscreen media library navigation interface from automatically displaying the currently playing media (if the media's path resides within a media library category).
- When using the Media Library or File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces, using the "Add to Playlist" function no longer adds media files that are not selected if the "Auto-Part Loader" function is enabled.
- When playing audio media, the player now uses folder or embedded images as the pseudo video resolution for functions that require it (such as auto-sizing the user interface to fit the source video resolution).
- Auto-Correction of video aspect ratio is no longer applied when viewing stand alone, folder and embedded images.
- Switching between audio and media modes after playing an audio file would show remnants of the TAG display in the GUI window if the audio file was closed.
- An LPCM sub-type was accidently listed under the AC3 audio decoder profile.
- The Smart Play configuration dialogs now selects the first profile from the list when erasing a profile so the previously erased profile's filters do not remain active.
- Switching Stay On Top on/off followed by pressing the "Enter" key would reload the currently playing media instead of the action assigned to the "Enter" key.
- You can now play URLs from the Play History dialog.
- You can now play URLs from the command line if Zoom Player is currently running.
- There is no longer a limit of 255 character when trying to open a URL or file from the command line while Zoom Player is currently running.
- When first loading, the keyboard focus is now set to the main player user interface rather than secondary interfaces (Playlist editor, Equalizer).
- When the "On Playlist Complete" setting is set to close Zoom Player or shutdown the computer, the action is no longer performed if the options dialog is open.
- When the "Auto-Play next file in the playlist" setting was disabled, pressing Play when reaching the end of a media file would not perform the "On Playlist Complete" event.
- When the "Move the Playlist Editor display to follow the currently playing media file" setting was enabled, the playlist tried to change position and follow a new item even if the new item was already visible.
- When setting the screen saver mode to "Image SlideShow", re-opening the options dialog would disable the Image Directory browse button.
- When switching between different screen saver modes, the mode switch would not work well if you didn't restart the player.
- When a language or custom context menu script used unicode characters for sub-menus, the root menu name was not properly identified and sub-menu items did not show up.

- Ejecting certain drive types would cause Zoom Player to stop the currently playing media even if the media was not on the ejected drive.
- The "Open the Options Dialog on the active monitor" setting wasn't being applied to the Basic Options dialog.
- When using FFDShow as the Subtitle renderer while using a video decoder other than FFDShow, combining this setup with Haali Video Renderer, would result in a pin connection error.
- The 'forcibly hide the windows taskbar in fullscreen mode' setting will now hide the Start Orb (button) in Windows VISTA and Windows 7.
- Skins with no hint value for the Volume/Balance/Play Rate bars showed unrelated hint text.
- Skins with no playlist skinned would show the default onyx skin for the playlist interface with broken button transparency (red borders).
- Selecting a skin or applying a skin tint from the skin selection dialog no longer causes the player window to pop over and obscure the skin selection dialog.
- Installing a Skin file would ask you to open the Skin selection dialog even if it was already open.
- Fixed the "FolderImage" skin script code function that got broken in v7.
- When sorting by Size in the Media Library and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces, the "Play all files in this Directory" entry was listed before the "Previous Directory" entry.
- With "Stay on Top" enabled along with "Screen-Align the Control Bar to" set to either Top or Bottom of the screen, the control bar would lose it's on-top status and would disappear if you clicked the video area or if a new media loaded.
- Performing a legacy install (where all installed files are placed in a single folder) no longer warns you of a problematic installation if UAC (User Account Control) is enabled and you installed under a directory other than the "Program Files" directory.
As well as the above, the warning dialog now contains an additional checkbox to dismiss it from showing on future runs.
- The 'forcibly hide the windows taskbar in fullscreen mode' setting will now hide the Start Orb (button) in Windows VISTA and Windows 7.
- The Adjust Image (formally "image resize") and Image Blanking fullscreen navigation interfaces were incorrectly affected by the "Navigation Line Count" setting.
- The "Click here to search list" text in the playlist editor could overlap the scroll widget if the playlist editor font was large enough.
- Fixed a rare 'List index out of bounds' error when deleting items from the playlist.
- The main application window should now appear in Flip3D under Windows Vista and Windows 7.
- Deleting a media library category, would erase other categories if their name was very similar (example "movies" and "movies2").
- The "Custom Mouse Wheel Down" function was not being saved.
- The Screen Saver and clock function accidentally labeled 'October' as 'Saturday'.
- With "Adv. Options / On Screen Display / Actions - Show Time Position Over Timeline" enabled, pressing Alt+F4 would close the position window rather than the player window.
- Opening a display pattern (Shift+"P"), no longer stops the playing video before closing it. This ensures the previous play position is saved correctly.
- Fixed crashes related to corrupt language files.
- Using the Station Edit button would not display the edited station type correctly (would always show 'Radio').
- The "Null" filter no longer appears as Unregistered.
- TCP/IP API Message #1810 (Request Play List), did not implement a separator character between each media entry, making it harder to parse. Now each entry is separated by the ">" character.
- TCP/IP API Message #1811 (Playlist items changed) was not being triggered on every playlist change.
- Changing the navigation keyboard layout could cause a crash when closing the skin selection dialog through the keyboard. Thanks Gleb Egorych.
- When Smart Play is disabled, the Zoom Player DSP filter is no longer part of the graph if no audio streams are detected.
- The red error dialog messages were limited to 255 characters.
- Loading external icon definition files did not apply the icons to all file extensions in some cases.
- Cleaned up some of the ffdshow profile/filter names.

Muutokset v8.00 RC1 - v8.00 RC 2

The station interfaces will now give you access to more than 13,000 streaming radio stations.
The LAV Splitter is now supported for AVI, MOV, MP4, FLV, OGG, OGM and MPEG2 Transport Streams. Please take note that if the LAV Splitter is installed, it disables microsoft AVI splitter from working properly. Tis means that you must set Smart Play's "AVI" Source filter to LAV Splitter or use the MPC (Gabest) AVI Splitter as the "AVI" Splitter filter.
You can now use the Ctrl+"A" macro to cycle through the available audio channels when using the LAV Splitter.
New "VP8" profile added to the Smart Play options dialog. VP8 is used by the WebM format and can be decoded using FFDShow and the MPC Video Decoder (FFDShow may need configuration to enable VP8 support).
New "TWOS Audio" profile added to the Smart Play options dialog. Requires LAV Audio Decoder.
You can now associate the ".WebM" extension.
New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / Video) which enables a fix when moving the player window from video area causing the window to jump to an unexpected position. Affects only Windows VISTA (or newer) when the video renedrer is set to 'Haali Video Renderer', 'MadVR', 'VMR7' or 'VMR9'.
The Station List Media Center interface now has a "Go To top of list" function.
Added a new H.264 sub-type for CoreAVC 2.5.1 compatibility.
Selecting MadVR as the video renderer automatically enables the "Overlay covers entire video area" setting.
The Re-Synch Audio Ahead/Back now works in 25ms increments rather than the 10ms used previously.
The default volume control change value is now 5%, up from the previous 3%.
The default Zoom In/Out value is now 10%, up from the previous 1%.
The default 'Keyboard Video Window Move' value has changed to 5%, up from the previous 4 pixels.
The "fnVidLeft", "fnVidRight", "fnVidUp", "fnVidDown" functions now use the 'Keyboard Video Window Move' value while in fullscreen. Previously, these functions only moved by 1 pixel.
Updated Media Center navigation icons.
Dragging the player window by clicking "Ctrl + Left mouse button" (or other configured setting) within the video area was broken in Windows Vista and Windows 7 when certain video renderer were used (VMR7/VMR9/ Haali/MadVR). Now there's a workaround in place that ensures the window is dragged to the correct location (with minor flickering at times).
Several settings were not remembered correctly with Zoom Player Home FREE.
The Install Center did not load on Windows XP due to a corrupt manifest file.
The 'forcibly hide the windows taskbar in fullscreen mode' setting will now hide the Start Orb (button) in Windows VISTA and Windows 7.
Deleting a media library catgeory, would erase other categories if their name was very similar (example "movies" and "movies2").
The "Custom Mouse Wheel Down" function was not being saved.
Opening a display pattern (Shift+"P"), no longer stops the playing video before closing it. This ensures the previous play position is saved correctly.
Other bugs introduced between v7 final and v8 RC1
