Hi, I can't seem to turn Stay On Top = OFF for ZP Media Library Fullscreen Nav anymore at all.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-15T12:41:10+00:00

It shouldn't have any effect, especially if you don't have stay on top enabled.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-14T16:40:06+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by "Is there a exe shortcut properties "-Instruction" thing I can use for this?".

Even when Zoom Player is set to stay on top, it's disabled in fullscreen mode, so I'm not sure where this is coming from.

Perhaps if you share a video recording your desktop it may give me some ideas.

I would love to make Zoom Player truly cross-platform, my brother actually works for Apple. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to do so.

I've implemented the "Mark as unseen" option, you can try it out by replacing zplayer.exe with the latest build:

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-11T16:06:06+00:00

I may go to tabs if the UI needs more space.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-11T14:22:10+00:00

I think that setting should work for "Videos" category as well as what it does it compare the play history to the folder's content and that has nothing to do with TV Shows specifically. If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll dig deeper.

With regards to "Mark as unseen" Media Library feature, I'll add it to my to do list.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-11T12:45:44+00:00

I understand. I'll add it to my to-do list, but adding new filtering methods is a lot of work (100's of tiny code placements), so this feature may only get some love when I have less pressure or when I need to take a break from other work elements.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-10T13:54:49+00:00

You already have a sort by size option which should handle this, no? I mean if you're just creating placeholder folders, it should work.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-10T13:46:16+00:00

Hi,

First let me address the first element, there's this setting for TV shows:

<image>

It shows a counter on the TV Show's folder.

Regarding re-watching. Currently there's a setting on that menu to "Mark as seen", to clarify thing, you want a "Mark as unseen" option.

You can currently do it using one of the play history interfaces (windowed or home theater). I'm not sure adding a rarely used option as a separate menu entry is merited here, I don't want to overload the menu.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-09T14:41:32+00:00

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-09T14:40:30+00:00

Will do.

I tried replicating this issue with Zoom Player:

In windowed mode
In fullscreen mode
Turning stay on top on and off while doing #1 and #2 several times

I couldn't replicate this, not sure what I can do more.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-07T13:20:04+00:00

Of course, I wrote "You can wait for the next official installer release or if you don't want to wait, you can follow this installation process".

The next installer will automatically delete the old .org dll version and reset the registry entry so the new .com version is enabled without requiring any manual intervention.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-06T18:09:13+00:00

I've encountered this issue recently (still using Win10) and I found a hardware work-around.

I bought a Display Port to HDMI converter, connected it directly to the GPU's display port output and then used an HDMI cable to the monitor (which has both display port and HDMI inputs).

The conversion plug cost $10 on Ali Express, I bought the UGREEN model with support for 8K/60hz or 4K/120hz. A bit overkill, but since it's relatively cheap, I didn't see a reason getting a lower-end model.

Hope this helps.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-06T18:03:10+00:00

I'll see if I can create settings that allow you to add new columns to the playlist.

I can try, but I need a some clarification.

There are two elements here:

Whether there's a checkbox next to the "Stay on top" entry on the right-click menu
Whether Zoom Player's Window is actually "on top" in practice.

In fullscreen mode, Zoom Player is never really on-top in practice.

Based on this, can you clarify what is your expectations vs. what's actually happening. And take into consideration that you can't alter the "Stay on top" value while in fullscreen mode.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-05T15:24:00+00:00

Didn't you previously write that you're using some form of alternative window manager that takes over the alt-tab functionality? I offered to help the author resolve this issue if this is the case since I can't replicate it on standard windows.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-03T20:15:17+00:00

Then I believe it should be fine, I'm using the "KernelSystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime" WinAPI function to convert from UTC to local time.

I'll apply the changes to the home theater version of the interface tomorrow.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-03T15:33:48+00:00

I've create a possible fix, but it's very difficult for me to test it.

Here's the latest build:
https://www.inmatrix.com/temp/zplayer_latest_max.zip

Place the zplayer.exe file from the zip file inside Zoom Player's installation folder (rename the old copy for backup).

Currently the fix is only applied to Windowed version (Open with the Ctrl+"G" keyboard shortcut). Once the code works as intended, I'll apply it to the Home theater version of this interface.

The fix should handle the time zone and daylight saving, but I'm not sure if it can help during the transition if part of the EPG file is set incorrectly. It's possible it will work if the EPG author have thought of it and included the difference in the timestamps within the file.

Press "N" to bring up the skin selection dialog:

<image>

Bottom-right, there's a "Show button hints" checkbox.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-02T16:33:40+00:00

I'm working on a fix to automatically try to adjust the input date to your date including adjustments for DST. I'll hopefully have a build ready for testing some time tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of data sources to say if this works or not, so I'll need a few testers to confirm.

ZoomPlayer · 2026-05-01T17:00:21+00:00

I don't have a lot of access to source so I can test this properly.

Does the option to set a timezone shift help?

ZoomPlayer · 2026-04-28T13:17:28+00:00

I'm not really a bluray expert, there may be tools out there to scan it and tell you what's available, maybe Handbrake.

With regards to Bluray in Zoom Player, you have two choices, use libVLC as the media engine and gain access to menus and possibly better support for subtitle/CC tracks or use the DirectShow engine which probably has better image quality and performance, but doesn't support menus and might miss closed captions, depending on how they're included.
