• - 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.

• - 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.

• - 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.

• - 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.

• - 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).

• - 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.

• - 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.
