I’ve been getting more aggressive in removing the legacy portions of Windows in my installs, among them Windows Media Player. I was surprised to see that I got an error when launched it - can this dependency be satisfied elsewhere? Or do I just need to re-enable Windows Media Player ☹ ?

Thanks! Will.

Custom Cuts uses the components in WMP to render the videos

Makes sense. Any plans to leverage a more modern infrastructure like VLC?
