Updates:

Changes/additions/improvements:

Rewritten code that deals with file history. It works better with multiple instances now.
Remembered file position now resets to 0 when playback has reached 95% of file duration when closing the player. We assume that end credits have been reached in that case.
Remembered file position also resets to 0 when pressing stop button. So close player directly or open other file without pressing stop if you wish to resume later.
The uninstaller now unregisters file associations
The last used QuickOpen and SaveImage paths are now remembered individually
Added support for extended locale names in subtitles menu
Decimal values are now possible for subtitle font spacing and border width/shadow settings
Now supports loading chapter metadata from .xchp file. Use text file (UTF-8 encoding). Each line is a chapter defined as HH:MM:SS,ddd timecode, optionally followed by a space and chapter name.

Fixes:

Fixed issue where PGS subtitles could be partially rendered outside of visible area
Fixed regression with reading CDText metadata
Fixed regression regarding auto-hide of toolbar in case of two monitors with vertical placement
Workaround for Windows 11 bug where the options dialog was not rendered properly for RTL languages
Workaround for Windows 10/11 bug where subtitle download dialog could become visible when using taskbar window peek
Several other small bugs

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
