MF_E_SINK_NO_SAMPLES_PROCESSED

MF_E_SINK_NO_SAMPLES_PROCESSED means the sink reached an operation that depends on actual media data, but no sample was successfully processed. This can occur even when the sink object, byte stream, and media types were created correctly.

Trace the first sample all the way to the stream sink

Record MEStreamSinkRequestSample events and every corresponding ProcessSample call.
Log stream identifiers, timestamps, and the HRESULT from the first rejected sample rather than only the later finalization error.
Check source selection and topology branches for a stream that reaches end-of-stream before delivering data.

Finalizing an empty output repeatedly will not manufacture the container data the sink expected. The most useful diagnostic is the earliest point where a selected stream stopped producing or where its samples were refused. Fix that upstream break before investigating final headers.
