NS_E_TRANSCODE_DELETECACHEERROR
Practical scope of NS_E_TRANSCODE_DELETECACHEERROR
This HRESULT is produced at removing a completed or obsolete transcode-cache object. This result belongs to device-targeted media conversion, not to an undifferentiated “Windows Media problem.”
Pipeline position
Before transfer, the Player can compare the source media type with the device’s format capabilities and build a conversion path. Source decoding, target encoding, metadata generation, temporary-cache output and optional encryption are separate phases.
A source that plays locally can still lack a valid conversion path to the specific format and limits advertised by the connected device. In a typical failing run, cleanup runs while the sync worker still has the converted file open.
Reproduction record
| Evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | source path and media type, decoder and encoder identifiers, target audio/video/image format, device capability response, output dimensions/bitrate, cache path and free space, EFS state, conversion stage and first codec HRESULT |
| Key observation | cache file/path, owning sync generation, open handles and filesystem delete result |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: wait for active use to finish, close handles and delete the specific cache entry. |
Verification procedure
- Capture
0xC00D11F0, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save cache file/path, owning sync generation, open handles and filesystem delete result; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- Correlate the result with source path and media type, decoder and encoder identifiers, target audio/video/image format, device capability response, output dimensions/bitrate, cache path and free space, EFS state, conversion stage and first codec HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: wait for active use to finish, close handles and delete the specific cache entry.
- Start a fresh operation and verify that the original call advances without returning
NS_E_TRANSCODE_DELETECACHEERROR.
Results that may look similar
| Related result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_PDA_FAILED_TO_TRANSCODE_PHOTO | converting a specific image to the device’s supported dimensions or format |
NS_E_PDA_ENCODER_NOT_RESPONDING | waiting for the selected conversion encoder to produce progress or completion |
NS_E_PDA_FAILED_TO_ENCRYPT_TRANSCODED_FILE | reading or securing converted output when the source/cache file is EFS-encrypted |
Change the smallest responsible condition
The targeted action is to wait for active use to finish, close handles and delete the specific cache entry. While retesting it, keep unrelated media, device, playlist and network values unchanged.
