NS_E_NOTARCHIVING
NS_E_NOTARCHIVING: the failing boundary
NS_E_NOTARCHIVING (0xC00D1B7E) means The encoder is not archiving. The important boundary is archive lifecycle; do not replace this result with a broader “Windows Media failed” diagnosis.
What this result proves
This code proves that an archive-only operation was requested while the encoder is not archiving. It does not, by itself, prove a codec, permissions, network, device, or media problem outside that boundary. Preserve the first lower-level result when one exists, because later Player or Encoder errors can hide the original cause.
Evidence and focused verification
Record encoder/archive state and last start/stop transition; start archiving before issuing archive-control operations. Keep the media object, endpoint, profile, or device identity fixed while changing only that rejected precondition. A successful retest should pass this exact boundary; a different HRESULT from a later stage is new evidence, not recurrence of NS_E_NOTARCHIVING.
