NS_S_DRM_BURNABLE_TRACK
DRM track is burnable without a playlist burn limit
NS_S_DRM_BURNABLE_TRACK is HRESULT 862062 (0x000D276E) from Windows Media. AllStat describes it as “The track is burnable and had no playlist burn limit.” In the Windows Media Player, Windows Media Format, DRM, or Media Foundation state machine, the value reports a nonfailure state that must not be collapsed into plain S_OK.
The status must be preserved until its code-specific output and next action have been processed.
Where the status is encountered
- Windows Media Player library, playlist, store, or UI plug-in callbacks; capture the exact API, object, and phase because the same numeric success severity does not define the state by itself.
- Windows Media Format source, writer, DRM, publishing-point, or installation operations;
- Media Foundation topology activation and remote-component setup;
Keep this result attached to the operation that returned it. Interpreting it outside that API contract can turn a normal continuation or partial result into an incorrect retry or false completion.
What must be true before accepting it
Verify that all other burn rights, media constraints, and destination checks still pass even though no playlist-count restriction applies. The caller should reject a path where outputs and state do not match the recorded condition.
Also confirm that returned outputs belong to the current operation generation and were not inherited from an earlier attempt.
Correct handling and recovery
Permit the track in the burn plan, retain proof of evaluated rights, and enforce capacity, format, and device policies. Do not interpret “no playlist limit” as unrestricted redistribution.
Do not use an unchanged tight retry loop for this HRESULT; it can duplicate effects or conceal a terminal state.
Difference from nearby results
The restricted variant permits burning but adds a playlist limit; this status reports no such playlist-specific limit.
The distinction around this result should be visible in control flow, telemetry classification, and user messaging.
Practical scenario
A burn planner evaluates a protected track and includes it after checking device compatibility and remaining disc capacity.
