MF_E_NET_INCOMPATIBLE_SERVER
MF_E_NET_INCOMPATIBLE_SERVER means the endpoint answered, but it is not a compatible media streaming server for the requested operation. A common cause is sending a media-streaming request to a general web server or a server using another protocol.
What to check
- Confirm the URL scheme, host, port, and protocol expected by the client.
- Verify that a reverse proxy routes the request to the media service rather than to an unrelated IIS or web endpoint.
- Test a known-good media URL on the same server to separate endpoint configuration from client compatibility.
