Symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to load the debugging symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1, but the symchk output shows that they don't exist on the Microsoft symbol server (see below). I've also installed the Windows 8.1 x86 32-bit retail symbols from
here, but that doesn't contain the wmp.dll symbols either. Is this an oversight from Microsoft's side, or am I doing something wrong or looking in the wrong places?
Thanks!

Yes, it looks like the matching pdb for your version of wmp.dll is missing on the MS-symbol-server. Could be a glitch on their side.
Symbols in 'Windows symbol packages' include sometimes 'outdated' symbol files, (PDB-Signatures of pdb and module differ).
If symbols for certain modules are missing altogether in these packages, MS may not have the intention to publish them for reason of intellectual property. (Personal opinion).
In any case, to my knowledge, the team in charge of public-symbols - at least for system modules (hmm, wmp is media player ...) - can be contacted via

With kind regards
Edit: wording
Just see, for Vista symbols for wmp.dll are available through public-symbol-server, though
call themselves wmp_notestroot.pdb
