Updates:

Changes/additions/improvements:

Added support for System Media Transport Controls in Windows 8.1/10/11. This displays playback controls for the player when adjusting volume in Windows. You can enable this functionality through: Options > Advanced > UseSMTC
Some improvements to SaneAR Audio Renderer: It now automatically falls back to shared mode when exclusive mode is enabled but unsupported. Exclusive mode option no longer needs to be enabled for bitstreaming, instead it is used implicitly when bitstreaming.
Generating a thumbnail sheet is now faster. It now seeks to keyframes as much as possible.
Added an advanced option to disable automatic pause when locking the screen in Windows.
You can now use "off" as a value in the subtitle track preference setting. It may follow language codes that you do prefer to use. In that case it will disable subtitles only if no preceding language code has matched.
Some visual improvements to playlist numbering and title editing.
Some improvements for subtitle selection and language name display for the rare situation where a language does not have a LCID.
Some optimizations to the filter graph builder. This should speed up file loading in some situations.
The player now reloads the video file when resumed after hibernate or very long pause (> 30 min). This is done as a workaround for driver bugs. It will remember playback position and track selection.
DVB improvement: It now stores the symbol rate for scanned channels.
Added support for wildcards in filenames in M3U playlists.

Fixes:

Fixed subtitles being early by a few frames with VMR9 renderer.
Fixed a subtitle parsing issue for files that contained 4-byte UTF-8 characters (such as emojis). Those are handled properly now.
Fixed an issue with drag&drop of a folder onto the playlist window.
Several other small fixes

Updates:

Changes/additions/improvements:

Added advanced option to specify location of Youtube-DL executable.
Added support for yt-dlp.exe (fork of Youtube-DL).
Added advanced option to display video fourcc and resolution in status bar.
Added advanced option to display A-B repeat marker values in status bar.
When saving a favorite you can now also store the AB-repeat markers
Adjusting subtitle delay now also works with the external VSFilter/XySubFilter subtitle renderers.
Enabled processing of play/pause command when no media is loaded, but playlist is not empty. This now also allows resuming playback by pressing spacebar or clicking on the video area.
Clicking mouse middle button on the systray icon now toggles play/pause.
When the global after playback event is set to "play next file in folder", the player will now close the current file when no next file is available. This allow the screensaver to activate.
Added a second WASAPI based internal audio renderer. The existing internal renderer has been renamed to SaneAR (its original name). Don't ask what the difference is between the two. There is little difference in behavior and functionality.
