I seem to get a similar issue on WMP with the same system configuration and a 
fresh install.  Either this isn't fixed, or I just coincidentally am getting 
the same symptoms.

Still happens on Version 2.0.0

I have fixed this for the next version.
Note that WMP doesn't (and was never supposed to) work, we only added that 
renderer because it was showing up as unknown for everyone which was annoying.
Maybe a better solution will be to just block it.

OK in the next version of UMS, WMP will be blocked from showing up
