you might be interested in the provacy settings of the WMedia Player.
The default in WMedia 9 is not to send a unique Player ID and not to
return it through script calls. You'll always get the same Player ID
from every player, i.e. {3300AD50-2C39-46c0-AE0A-000000000000}.
The Windows XP WMedia Player (version 8) returns a supposedly random
Player ID {3300AD50-2C39-46c0-AE0A-XXXXXXXXXXXX}.
So it seems you must force your users to enable unique Player ID's, the
value of which they could even change in the registry if they like.
Regards,
Fred.
