Re: Removing Windows Media Player makes ring tones unavailab

All the other ring tones (including the other OEM ring tones) were simply unavailable.

I reflashed multiple times and found this behavior was true regardless of whether I checked or unchecked the additional ring tones option.

I don't think this is a bug in the kitchen per se, but if others experience this problem it probably should be mentioned in the release notes. Maybe there is a workaround, but I haven't been able to find it scanning the forum.
Yes, that functionality requires a few of the DLLs that are included in the Windows Media Player OEMs. I believe even TCPMP requries these DLLs to play certain content. It would be nice if someone could seperate these into a seperate OEM, so we could maintain this functionality without bringing in the full WMP package.
