NS_E_DRM_UNSUPPORTED_PROPERTY
What this HRESULT isolates
The symbolic result NS_E_DRM_UNSUPPORTED_PROPERTY narrows 0xC00D275D to Windows Media DRM client API contract and object lifecycle. In practical terms, the selected DRM object or version does not implement the requested property; the producing layer is the application-facing layer that initializes DRM support, validates parameters and properties, creates specialized objects, and delivers asynchronous status to the caller.
Diagnostic inputs that separate the causes
- Protected identity: exact interface method and object type being created.
- Operation state: SDK/runtime version and linked DRM stub library.
- Persistence or transport: property name, type, size and initialization order.
- Security context: operation state, callback sequence and cancellation owner.
- Correlation point: first inner HRESULT before an application replaces it with a generic error.
How to prove the condition
- Start from
0xC00D275Dand map it to the first WMDRM object that returned it. - Separate content/header evidence, license evidence, machine/device evidence and service/network evidence around “unsupported property”.
- Before retrying this result, check whether another “unsupported property” operation was active or whether the previous result may have committed partially.
- Record interface version, property identifier and object type.
- Apply the smallest supported fix: feature-detect the property or use the documented alternative for that version; avoid resetting unrelated protected state.
What a supported fix should change
Representative case: An application queries a version-10 property through an older DRM object.
Common but unsafe responses
- Avoid retrying object creation in a loop without preserving the first HRESULT and runtime versions.
- Avoid replacing the DRM HRESULT with a generic application exception before telemetry records it.
Do not merge these HRESULTs
| Result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_DRM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL | The caller-supplied output buffer cannot hold the requested DRM value. |
NS_E_DRM_STORE_NOTALLSTORED | Some of the licenses could not be stored. |
NS_E_DRM_UNABLE_TO_CREATE_STATE_DATA_OBJECT | The DRM runtime cannot create the state-data object required for this operation. |
Several values can accompany the “unsupported property” condition in one incident. Order the event chain by timestamp and prefer the first code produced at the lowest specific boundary over a later player-level summary.
