--- What's new in Zoom Player v16.5 release candidate 1:

New :

* Introducing Charcoal, Zoom Player's new default skin.
Charcoal includes the same layout and functionality as the
previous Onyx default skin but uses more subtle shading and
cleaner elements to better fit with Windows 10's look and feel.

The onyx skin is still shipping with Zoom Player, you can switch
back by opening the skin selection dialog using the "N" keyboard
macro or through the right-click menu.

* It is now possible to play videos from Twitch.tv.

* New "Mark as Seen" media library feature accessible through the
functions menu (toggle the cogwheel, or right-arrow in list mode).
When marking media or entire folders as seen, you will be prompted
to "Mark as seen now" or "Mark as seen archive". Depending on your
choice the marked entries will appear at the start or end of the
play history list.

* New "Select all Unseen" media library feature that selects every
media or folder containing content that exists in the play history.

* New "Select all Seen" media library feature that selects every
media or folder containing content that does not exist in the
play history.

* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation /
Settings) that controls whether the Media Library's media scraping
indicator is visible within the path area.
Change :

+ A major redesign of the media library's scraping operation.
Scraping of new content should no longer block thumbnail and
****-data updates for previously scraped content.
This change should help Zoom Player feel more responsive.

+ Rewrote the audio TAG/ID3 scraping code for enhanced efficiency
and reliability.

+ The file ****-data edit window's title now features only the file
name and not the full path.

+ The media library's YouTube Playlist plugin is now more flexible
when parsing YouTube playlist URL structures. YouTube uses
multiple URL structures to present playlists and now the plugin
should support all of them.

+ The "Force the navigation list or thumb view display to full width"
and "Force the navigation list or thumb view to maximum width"
settings now apply to the path area and not only to the media area.
Fixes :

- Fixed a hidden crash that destabilized Zoom Player when closing
the media library while the thumb view was in the process of
smooth scrolling.

- You can no longer open the windowed go to time/chapter editor if
no media is currently playing.

- YouTube has a bug in it's API that can cause duplicate entries to
show when loading more entries. Previously in such cases,
Zoom Player didn't show a thumbnail for a duplicate entry, at
least this bug is fixed, can't do much about YouTube's API bugs.

- The media library's scraping counter did not update if you
exit the folder the current scraping operations were working on
until the screen was updated.

- Stopped the Create Ringtone function from attempting to work with
network streams (it never worked with URLs, but still allowed you
to select the position and fill in details into the save dialog).

- Fixed a rare case where there media library would not respond to
input correctly when playing a movie then exiting to the main
navigation interface and then back to the media library.

- Fixed a few small memory leaks.
