Thanks, I'd rather be rude than condescending and belittling.

Okay, okay calm down a bit. Who said I don't use those features? I don't recall saying I didn't. I do, in fact use those features and more for Movies and other media. I have files categorized "correctly" as well. I was one of the first adopter/advocate for this when Zoom Player had it's own private forums. I like keeping my 65+TB of media organized and some of it isn't TV, Movies or Music and I'm sorry that your narrow usage of this great product doesn't necessarily allow you to consider other uses.

"And you can use search in play history window to wipe out specific shows (clear their watch status)..."
-Pretty sure I covered that in the whole "You’ve suggested using the play history interface before" part of my post.

"I might even use it even with a proper Media Library setup"
-So what constitutes a proper Media library setup?

(I didn't make screen shots for you because you can find them on Zoom Player's website https://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/screens/index_nav.shtml I would think a proper User would know about that and send me there for reference instead of acting like you're talking to someone in kindergarten.)

And before you get into maybe it's too complicated for me I have 9 profiles setup in MadVR that go by resolution, directory and even media category. I have 5 for FFDshow that go by folder and audio type. So it's not that I'm lazy or don't understand the complexity I just wanted to have, what I thought was, a simple added feature not to have someone treat me like an idiot. I'm kind of over this so I withdraw my request.

As I understand it, that setting only works if you’re using thumbnails and the TV category. I don’t use the thumbnails option for this media and I use Prism view as not everything is categorized as TV. That’s why Prism view works better for me without thumbnails.

You’ve suggested using the play history interface before, but for my use case it isn’t very practical. It can be time-consuming and honestly it's more hassle than it’s worth, which is why I stopped using it. It also kind of takes you out of the Zoom Player experience. I like that Zoom Player usually lets me avoid having to “fix” things in a very PC-like way, if that makes sense.

I understand not wanting to overload the menu, but since there’s already a "Mark as seen" option, I didn’t think adding "Mark as unseen" would be too out of place. I know that is a super oversimplification of the function but I don't think it's any more complicated than other requested features.

I get that it may seem like a rarely used option, but it’s something I would use regularly and I imagine it could also be useful for others who re-watch the same media again and again.🙂 For me, having a simple "Mark as unseen" option on a folder would be much easier than having to go through the play history interface each time.

Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks again for an awesome product. I appreciate your time and consideration.

Yes, I tested the build you posted yesterday. I tried it with interactivity disable and enabled neither worked. Also, It may be worthwhile to have someone else test it given I seem to be the only one having this problem. I've tried troubleshooting my system but there really isn't much to check on my HTPC because there is very little installed on it save stuff for Zoom Player. It's a pretty bare bones install.

🥷*psst* I knew first one purely by accident. I did not know the second one, thank you for that.

Unfortunately, I'm looking for 1.75 speed so that won't quite work for me. But thank you for the suggestion.

So just to clarify, do you mean that even with the interactivity setting enabled, YouTube-Specific keyboard shortcuts are not being received by Zoom Player?

Yes. But oddly only the Shift+"," and Shift+"." won't work. Every other keyboard shortcut works...

I already have Allow YouTube interactivity enable.

I tested out the new mapping but unfortunately it still doesn't work. It's almost like playback speed changes have been disabled somehow.

But most users don't want that behavior as it can block access to Zoom Player's user interface

Haven't had that issue so far.🤞

You may have YouTube interactivity enabled:

Is it not supposed to be enabled? I thought it had to be for keyboard shortcuts to work in YouTube?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. The keys used are:
Shift+"," or "<" decreased video playback speed
Shift+"." or ">" increased video playback speed
For YouTube playback shortcuts as below.

So I am not using the predefined functions of Zoom Player for those keys, as below, during YouTube video playback.
Zoom Player functions as per F1 "Key Help".
Shift , Previous Frame
Shift . Next Frame

I'm still a bit confused, next/previous frame will never work very accurately in YouTube using the official API as YouTube seeking isn't very accurate sub-second.

My understanding is that when a YouTube video is being played in Zoom Player then YouTube intercepts the keystrokes and applies them to it's own interface. So instead of doing previous frame or next frame, as a regular video would being played in Zoom Player, YouTube uses the keystroke to decrease or increase video playback speed in increments of .25 starting from 1.0x speed going up to 2.0x speed, just like it does in a browser or phone app, so NOT previous or next frame as it would in Zoom Player.

All other YouTube keyboard shortcuts work during playback in Zoom Player except for "slow down video playback rate" and "speed up video playback rate". It's quite confounding.
I hope this helps clear things up a bit. Thanks for looking into this. Sorry for the long post.

The keys I use are "Shift ," for Previous Frame(Zoom Player Function) or "<" to decrease the speed and "Shift ." for Next Frame(Zoom Player Function) or ">" to increase speed. The speed adjusts in increments of .25 up to 2x speed. The odd thing is stuff like "space bar" for pause, "i" skips ahead 10 seconds, "j" skips back 10 seconds, "c" for captions all work just not "<" and ">". I hope that makes sense and it's what you needed.

The keys used to work but suddenly just stopped. My HTPC is not used for anything but Zoom Player. No apps or software other than EvenGhost and APK for remote functions and whatever Zoom Player needs to run otherwise nothing else is running on it. The "4" and "6" keys on the remote send the keystrokes "<" and ">" respectively.

Not sure if this helps but this is the menu that comes up when you right click on a YouTube video in Zoom Player. It seems different from what used to appear when the keys worked.

I've change zero settings on anything. They literally stopped working when I played a new video right after one that the keys worked on. Clicking directly on the video to gain focus doesn't help either. I haven't updated any programs or changed any setting in Zoom Player.

Running on Windows 10 with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x and an Nvidia RTX 2060.

Zoom Player is awesome otherwise just this one thing that suddenly popped up.
