MDT - Need Help Adding Windows Media Player to Specific Deployments

I'm using MDT in conjunction with WDS to deploy Windows 7 in my organization. I use the MDT Computers database to profile machines. (i.e. select certain applications to be installed to specific machines based on MAC address.) In my reference images I have
removed all the components under Media Features, as most users do not need them. However, some users need Windows Media Player.
In the Computers Database properties, under the Details section, I noticed a property called OSFeatures. I tried setting the value to MediaPlayback,WindowsMediaPlayer and just WindowsMediaPlayer, but Windows Media Player does not get installed. Am I not
entering the value correctly?
My goal is to be able to add Windows Media Player to specific machines.
Thanks in advance

Is the OSFeatures property not able to add WMP? The reason why I want to use it is because when I profile machines that need WMP, I can add the option to have WMP added just for that machine.
If I can't use OSFeatures to install WMP, how can I add it back on a per-machine basis?

  • XM Radio Help With Windows Media Player

    Does anyone know how to get XM Radio to work within Safari? The Windows Media Player plug-in tries to connect but never does. I tried the Flip4Mac plug-in and got the same non-result.
    I got the AOL radio player to work but it does not offer all of the XM channels.

    Well, I just signed up for a 3 day trial at XM and listened to a couple of songs through Safari. I'm not certain which version of Windows Media Player you have installed. If you don't have version 9 then head over to Microsoft and download it. If you do have try re-installing it and see if that helps.

  • Need Help with Windows Media Plug-in

    I like to use Safari to open espn.com's espn radio page to listen to it live which runs through Windows Media.
    http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/radio?play=live
    I tried to download Windows Media for Mac, which won't open on this Mac. I downloaded Flip4MacWMV which placed itself in the system preferences section.
    In short, I can open the web page but can't hear the radio program. Can you give me some tips on how to activate this? It works just fine on my other computer, which runs system 10.3.5.

    ESPN Radio is working for me as well. What happens if you try another browser, such as Firefox or Camino?

  • Need DVD to play on windows media player also?

    I made a dvd of some footage and output as a quicktime movie. I then used the best DVD setting in compressor. Lastly I used toast to burn the dvd. The dvd will play on everything except the windows media player. How can I get the dvd to play in the windows media player also. I looked at the flipformac site and was wondering if that program will do it. What are you guys using?
    Thanks

    Hi David
    My statement 'Windows Media Player is not a DVD video player' is not mine, it is a Microsoft definition. Windows Media Player is specifically for playing Windows Media Video files - WMV. It can also play mpeg(1) AVI and other sound files like CD audio.
    For some kind of licencing/payments thing, WMP is not packaged with an mpeg2 codec and some other bits that make the DVD interactive. Microsft's advice is to use the software player that is packaged with the DVD drive.
    What can be tried is the Microsoft utility which might let the video play but might not navigate correctly. Not all codecs are compatable with WMP.
    My own suggestion for reliability is, to playback DVD Video always use the installed dedicated DVD player and never WMP.
    What can be a problem is that the user has not installed the DVD software player which is often on a separate resources disc.

  • Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

    I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
    researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
    Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
    I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
    sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
    Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
    Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
    I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
    My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
    Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
    install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
    install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

  • Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

    on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
    prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
    to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
    since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
    when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
    if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
    also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
    these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
    thanks again,
    dave
    powerbook G4 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
    I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
    any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
    thanks again....

  • I can't open Windows Media Player for Mac

    I need to run windows media player for an important service i suscribe to, (mlb.com). I installed the mac version on the windows website, but I cannot open it because my mac says that I need to choose what application to open it with. I don't know what application I should choose to open it. I don't even know if i have the application to open it. Thanks for any help.

    You might want to use Flip4Macinstead.
    If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.
    Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.

  • Windows Media Player is ******* me off...Need help for iTunes

    Ok, so recently my computer went haywire on me, and I had to start from scratch by basically wiping the HD and now installing Windows Vista (I used to have XP). I did back up all my songs on my external before hand.
    So now that everything SHOULD be up and running, I transferred all my songs back to my C:\.
    Yet...now when I go to "play all" (in order for iTunes to reference them), it says "Play All with Windows Media Player" and WMP thinks it has the rights to all the song files. I use iTunes for everything and I can't find the option part on either software to make iTunes the primary again.
    I used to be an IT major...
    Now I think that's in the past...lol.
    I need help. Who knows how to fix it?
    (Oh, and if you know a way to get them all to register instead of me going by artist by cd to play, that'd be appreciated too! :D)

    This article tells you how to set itunes as the default media player in Vista.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27514
    To get them all in your itunes library, drag the top-level music folder over from Win Explorer to the itunes window. You don't need to add things one-by-one!
    Alterantivly, you can use itunes menu > File > Add folder to library and do the same thing.

  • Need Windows Media Player 9 Help!

    Hi, all!
    I've been trying to install Windows Media Player 9 on my G5 ALS iMac, with no success. I've downloaded both the .bin and .hqx versions, but one comes out as an Excel document for some reason, and the other can't be read because my computer can't find the file that created it or an application to open it with. They're coming out as documents, not zip files.
    I've tried to download Flip4Mac, but on every page I've visited, after I click 'download' I get a 'Page Not Found' notice. I also tried to get VLC, but that just downloaded as a bunch of gibberish, not a file.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
    Sue

    Hi Sue,
    You need the utility Stuffit to uncompress some files. Here's a reliable download site. Hope this helps.

  • Uploading files from windows media player to itunes need help!

    Some of the files WMA are protected some are not. When I uploaded itunes real player files transfered to itunes. How would I go in to change the settings in windows to unprotect the files to have them transfered to itunes. Help please

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • Windows Media Player DRM prevents me watching football on my iMac - HELP!!

    Hi there -
    I'm having some real problems trying to watch my beloved Scottish Football games live (or recorded) on my iMac.
    I'm a new mac user. Used to be a pc owner (my appologies there) and watched all my games with no problem. Games are shown either live or recorded via Windows Media Player.
    I downloaded Windows Media Player for Mac (and something called Stffit Expander), but to no avail.
    Problem I seem to have is that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) for Windows Media Player is preventing me from watching the games on a Mac - seems that WMP does not support Safari, although Firefox does not work either, so I guess it is the Operating System? I have been told by a work colleague that basically I'm stuffed unless I put a Windows Operating System on the iMac, which I would really like to avoid doing at this point.
    Can anyone out there help me with this at all? Am I destined to miss out on the games because I am now a Mac user? Seems a tad unfair that! If it helps, the websites I watch the games at are www.heartsfc.co.uk and www.internetfootball.co.uk
    I'm at my wits end here, but I guess it's my own fault for not checking into this before I bought the iMac.
    Anyway, I'd appreciate ideas/comments/recommendations etc, just keep in mind that I am no whizz on the Technical side of things.
    Any Scots in Canada with Macs who have the same problem?
    Thanks for your time all!
    Angus

    Hi, Angus.
    Unfortunately, you're out of luck:
    • Windows Media Player 9 for Mac (WMP9) does not play Windows Media files protected with anything later than version 1.3 of Microsoft's DRM. This is documented here on Microsoft's Web site, under the heading "Support for Digital Rights Management." If the files in question use a version of Microsoft's DRM later than 1.3, they will not play in WMP9 on a Mac.
    • Flip4Mac, the replacement for WMP9, does not support any WIndows Media files encoded with Microsoft's DRM on Mac OS X. It states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "See also this Flip4Mac Knowledge Base article.
    You need to check with the firm from which you view/download the files to determine the version of Windows DRM they employ. Information concerning available versions of Windows DRM can be found here.
    Note that this is not a Mac problem: it is due to Microsoft refusing to make its DRM available on the Mac, i.e. a Microsoft business decision intended to keep you locked-in to the Windows platform.
    If your iMac is one of the new Intel-based iMacs, then you have two options for running Windows XP on your iMac, which would then permit you to view the videos in Windows:
    • Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta;
    • Parallels Desktop for Mac
    along with with a copy of Windows XP.
    The key difference between these is that Boot Camp requires you startup in either WIndows or Mac OS X: you can only run one OS at a time. Parallels Desktop lets you run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
    Both approaches have straightforward installation instructions. If I were in your position, I'd opt for Parallels Desktop given the ability to with with both operating systems simultaneously.
    Good luck!
