Diagnosing NS_E_DRM_UNABLE_TO_CREATE_CODING_OBJECT
0xC00D275A means WMDRM failed while constructing the coding object used to prepare protected-content coding state. The failure is earlier than processing media samples: first prove that the coding object itself can be instantiated with the current DRM runtime and initialization data.
Evidence that identifies the failure
- the exact factory or interface call that creates the coding object and its first inner HRESULT;
- WMDRM SDK/runtime and linked stub-library versions loaded by the process;
- ASF/DRM header version, KID and coding parameters supplied before construction;
- algorithm selection, key length and the outer object state at the failed call.
Focused test
Create a fresh coding object with the same runtime but a known-valid header and coding configuration. If construction succeeds, compare only the original header/parameters. If it still fails before input is consumed, investigate component version, initialization order and the nested creation HRESULT instead of the license server or playback graph.
Correction and verification
Correct the incompatible component or initialization state, recreate the coding object and repeat the original coding operation. Success requires the object to be created and the next coding stage to start; a different DRM HRESULT belongs to that later stage.
