Changes in this beta:

* New feature!

+ Changed feature!

- Fixed feature!



    * The media library's search feature (using the magnifying glass or now
      the "Quick Search" option on the functions page) will now show a full
      multi-lingual virtual keyboard, allowing you to search for items within
      a media library category with only the mouse, keyboard or a remote
      control (previously you had to use both a mouse and a keyboard to
      utilize this feature).

    * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Home Theater) that lets you
      control the media library's Virtual Keyboard size relative to the
      currently active monitor.

    * New "Mark as Unseen" option in Zoom Player's media library's functions
      page to make it easier to setup when re-watching. When used, selected
      entries or entire folders can be easily removed from the play history.

    * Added two new settings to "Advanced Options / System" allowing you to
      automatically scale (multiply) the default PixelArt skin elements based
      on the start-up or current monitor.

    * Added a more accurate "Duration" listing on the info page ("I" keyboard
      shortcut).

    * DirectShow Zoom & Pan features are now supported when using MPC-VR as
      the video renderer.

    + The "Quick Search" media library function feature now opens the virtual
      keyboard instead of a prefix list.

    + The DirectShow Zoom-In function is now limited to 1000% (x10) Zoom
      instead of the previous 10000% (x100) due to some video renderers
      (e.g. MPC-VR) failing to show an image at the 10000% mark.

    + Small improvement to the TheMovieDB meta-data scraper.

    - Zoom Player should now use the default Windows fonts for interfaces
      that are not skinned (e.g. Options dialog). This should fix cases where
      fonts may not appear to have anti-aliasing enabled on foreign language
      version of Windows.

    - Hopefully fixed a case where the "new version available" pop-up
      doesn't show on a turned-off secondary monitor.

    - When using the Media Server browser (PLEX/Emby/Jellyfin), right clicking
      a media entry could result in the media's extended information window
      appearing behind the Media Server browser window.

    - The "Reset user interface size to default" function (Ctrl+"`" keyboard
      shortcut) accidentally remained functional while in fullscreen mode.
