[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

I renamed the package and delete the old version.

The first post link on an old package.

So go on the home page of my site here then get the good version you need.

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

I add french and german package here.

@OCedHrt

http://www.big-boys.com stream doesn't work with IE

@orben

Earthcam works with IE.

@all

Install process:

Remove WMP9 and WMP6.4 with nLite and no 'Media Player Compatibility'

Run codec package after installing WinXP (find it on my Webpage)

If Firefox: copy npdsplay.dll in the firefox plugins folder

Working stream for testing: (IE and Firefox) BBC News Headlines

known problems:

Some stream doesn't work with firefox.

Some other stream doesn't work with firefox and IE.

[Tiny Icons]

Right clik on icon bar

Select custom (something like that, i use french version so i am not sure of menu traduction)

Switch from small to big icon.

is it working?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons]
"SmallIcons"="no"

I am interested in LiteCodec Package project. I only use WM, Real, Quicktime, OGG codec so most codec pack are not for me.

Let's try. We will find the best smaller codec package.

@jmbattle

ok thanks for testing. I will test with normal SP2 without removing anything.

EDIT Test Result: You are right, the stream should not be compatible with firefox

In fact, I never used firefox, only for some tests. I Prefer Maxthon (IE)

["my Pictures"]

If you change for example to:

"My Pictures"="C:\images"

then you can delete "My Pictures" subfolder but a new folder is created

["my Pictures"]

This is a system folder. You cannot delete it except if you change the folder picture path in the registry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"My Pictures"="...folder path..."

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
"My Pictures"="...folder path..."

[2 Problems! Yahoo + Flash Unattended]

So :

REG ADD %KEY%\007 /v 2 /D "TASKKILL.exe /F /IM ypager.exe" /f

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

BBC stream: why realplayer? You should test with WMV video stream, like BBC News Headlines

and for the other site, this is the same for me. Ok

[A Little Question :)]

yes

[A Little Question :)]

this adds 'GDITool=1' value in 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool' Key in the registry.

With this Windows Update will not ask to install the KB873374 hotfix

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

Someone give me this site with stream. He can't pay it in firefox.

I am not firefox user so i tested it in IE and it's OK.

Then i installed firefox, and i did some quick tests.

- BBC stream plays great

- given stream site doesn't work

jmbattle or others, could you test this stream with firefox?

[2 Problems! Yahoo + Flash Unattended]

something like this: (if you put taskkill in "%CDROM%\Software\)

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Yahoo! Messenger v6.0.1750" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\007 /v 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Yahoo\Yahoo1750.exe /s" /f 
REG ADD %KEY%\007 /v 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\TASKKILL.exe /F /IM ypager.exe" /f

[Replace Luna Totally With Another Style?]

i put this in winnt.sif

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Unattended.theme"

All my new account use the new theme.

I have just created a new account and it is correct.

(and I put theme files in $oem$)

[Replace Luna Totally With Another Style?]

I only use winnt.sif to change theme and all my users account use the new one.

I think that login screen doesn't depend of user account.

[Inside Update.exe]

interesting

thk

[Real Alternative Question...]

yes you can play real streaming (but not windows media streaming)

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

It should be possible.

Copy files in i386

Put lines in dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif

Make a Components in SYSOC.inf to register them?

or

Use cmdlines.txt?

or

Hive?

or

?

I don't know which are the best and if it will work.

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

thanks OCedHrt.

I updated the package (full english now) here.

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]

@jmbattle

[Removing Both Media Players + Codecs...]
