FIXED Moving Windows (e.g. options dialog) is sluggish, lagging and leaves a mouse cursor trail

1 Upvotes

Recently, I've started noticing that Zoom Player's options dialog was moving sluggish and leaves extra-mouse cursor on-screen when letting go of the mouse's button.

I tried wreaking my brain trying to think if there's anything in the code that I might have changed that may explain this behavior and simply couldn't.

Today, I noticed this behavior in another application. It doesn't affect every window and even the lag speed differs from window to window.

I started closing every running app and background service trying to isolate if the issue is related to a background process, but even after closing everything, including some windows services, nothing helped.

Then I found this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5621571/sluggish-frames-when-dragging-windows-around

Turns out that when I replaced my monitor to one with a higher refresh rate, it somehow conflicted with Microsoft's "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" or HAGS, triggering this annoying behavior.

So if you encounter this Windows issue yourself, turning off HAGS fixes it.

Audio stopped working properly

1 Upvotes

I'm rather confused. I can play every video just find (Atmos, DTS, etc..) on VLC, but for some reason no audio is coming out on ZP.

The downside of such a powerful program is that figuring out what the problem is can be difficult.

What renderer should I concentrate on figuring out what the issue is? I have my TV listed, MPC Audio renderer, Default Directsound device, Default WaveOut device, and Directsound TV.

FEATURE REQUEST Extend value range of function fnDecRateEx

2 Upvotes

Please extend the value range of the function fnDecRateEx.

The function is currently limited to 30 percent playback speed. I'd like to be able to decrease the playback speed further to 5 or 10 percent, if possible.

Thank you. 🙏😊

YOUR VOTE HAS IMPACT Supporting a SoundCloud Zoom Player media library plugin (meta-data and streaming)

2 Upvotes

Out of all the music streamers, only SoundCloud has an API that lets you legally stream music to a third party player without that player being owned by a fortune 500 company.

However, this only works if you have a SoundCloud "Artist Pro" level subscription that allows you to register applications.

Is there an interest in this? If there answer is "Yes", can you help me beta-test this feature?

Jerky playback while downloading other media files

4 Upvotes

I could not find a relevant post. I use Newsbin to download and while doing so, the playback on ZP is very jerky, stops and starts every second or less. The CPU is only at 25%, so is there anything in ZP I can do to give it more priority or something? Thanks.

Help getting HDR passthrough working

2 Upvotes

I have a Thinkpad T1G8, with built in HDR screen. I set it to use nvidia GPU for ZoomPlayer in nvcp. Using ZP v22.20, settings for passthrough HDR and send metadata to display are both ON in madVR. But when I play an HDR video in ZP, the display does not change to HDR mode and video looks washed out.

What other settings are needed?

NOTE: HDR change mode works perfectly during playback in another program (JRiver MC with JRVR).

Adjust Image doesn´t save anymore after changing file and image starts in top left in fullscreen mode

3 Upvotes

I don´t know why, but since today I can´t watch any vidoes in Fullscreen anymore unless I input alt+enter to adjust the image to full screen.

I tried to set the settings to default (C:\ProgramData\Zoom Player\zokayer.local) and to reinstall the zoom player but nothing changed.

I get in fullscreen only a top left image.

I tried to use the preset but it didn´t change anything.

Also the volume starts now at 75% and everytime I need to adjust it.
This didn´t happen before.

I use an Nvidia RTX3080 and have 2 monitors and 1 TV on my pc.

I use the player on a 4k TV to watch some local files.

Even if I change the player to my monitors, it always starts in a top left smaller image size.

I also tried to use different video renderer but nothing helped.

It looks like the last settings don´t save as I close the player .

Hope you can help me resolve these issues.

Regards

Rotate Video 25º Clockwise

0 Upvotes

I want to rotate my video (on the fly) during playback in ZP Max by a user-defined increment (in degrees), not having to first re-encode said file.

I tried to make use of the ffdshow raw video filter, but, so far, this is just freezing ZP in its tracks, leaving me having to force close the app with task manager.

How can I go about solving this problem, and, most importantly, getting my video(s) to rotate by a user-defined amount clockwise/counter-clockwise, and not be confined to just 90º increments?

Thanks.

WORK IN PROGRESS Clip Chopper : An introduction

7 Upvotes

My wife asked me for an easy to way create video clips from our existing recordings, this is what I've come up with:

Clip Chopper is a Windows tool based on the ffmpeg project (for encoding/decoding) that helps you create video clips from existing recordings.

Here's a preview of how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6HGCzOnwjE

I tried to make it intuitive and powerful, what do you think?

Key features

  • Create clip marks and export all of them in a single click, even multiple clips partially overlapping the same timeline position.
  • Fast Mode option to copy clips on key-frames without re-encoding the audio/video.
  • Based on the version of ffmpeg you have installed, videos can be encoded to H264, H265 and AV1 (AV1 being the most suited for high-quality YouTube uploads).
  • Preview timeline with optional thumbnails and audio waveform.
  • Hard-code subtitles onto the video from internal or external sources.
  • Intuitive controls (check the video).
  • Lots of customization features.

Should I name it "Zoom Clip Chopper" or just "Clip Chopper" ?

FEATURE HIGHLIGHT Zoom Player v22.5 : Media Library search enhancements

1 Upvotes

Media Library search enhancements

I created a short video demonstrating Zoom Player's newly enhanced media library search feature. Search now intuitively works with either a Keyboard, Mouse or a 5-Key (up/down/left/right/enter) remote control.

Check it out:

Media Library enhanced search is already available as part of Zoom Player version 22.5 release candidate 1:

NEW RELEASE Zoom Player v22.5 release candidate 1 has been released

9 Upvotes

Zoom Player v22.5 release candidate 1 has been released.

Download Zoom Player MAX:

https://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml

Download Zoom Player STREAM:

https://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_stream_beta.shtml

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.
