MF_E_CODE_EXPIRED
MF_E_CODE_EXPIRED concerns the trust lifetime of a Media Foundation component used for protected content. Protected Media Path includes revocation and renewal mechanisms so that compromised or obsolete trusted components can be replaced with newer trusted versions.
Treat component age as a servicing problem
- Record the exact module name, version, signer information, and file path associated with the protected pipeline.
- Check whether the machine is using an application-local copy that bypasses normal Windows component servicing.
- Compare the failure with revocation or GRL events from the same playback attempt; do not discard the first trust HRESULT during retries.
Re-registering the same expired binary or changing its file timestamp does not renew trust. The protected environment evaluates signed components and revocation policy, not the freshness of the local file date. Replace or service the component through the supported update path and then rebuild the protected session so trust validation runs against the updated binary.
