Zoom Player v21.4 : PLEX/Emby/Jellyfin media server enhancements

Zoom Player MAX
A downloadable Media Player for Windows

I've recently been asked to add collections to the media server features.

Here's what I came up with:

The Media Server Browser has been enhanced: - Emby/Jellyfin collections folder is no longer listed. - Emby/Jellyfin individual connections are now listed in the root folder. - Plex collections are now listed.

When creating a new category, the Media Server media library plugin will now list Emby/Jellyfin collections. Emby/Jellyfin collections are not locked to a specific type (e.g. movies/tv) so every collection is selectable, regardless of the category type you are creating.

* When creating a new category, the Media Server media library plugin will now list PLEX collections based on the category type you are creating. Unlike Emby/Jellyfin, PLEX locks collections to specific categories.

Want to try it out? Here's how:

  1. Make sure you have Zoom Player v21.3 installed.
  2. Download the latest build.
  3. Download the latest Media Server plugin.
  4. Replace the "zplayer.exe" file with the new version (keep old version for backup). The default path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom Player\".
  5. Replace the "Media_Server.dll" with the new version (keep old version for backup). The default path is "c:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom Player\MediaNavPlugins\".

This feature is coming hot from the proverbial code-over, let me know if there are any issues.
