Diagnosing NS_E_WMP_VERIFY_ONLINE in the Windows Media Player playback path

NS_E_WMP_VERIFY_ONLINE (0xC00D11B2) is returned when protected content requires an online rights-validation step before the requested action can continue.

Controlled playback comparison

Capture the resource identity and content KID, action, current license state, verification URL, network/proxy result and system time.
Verify that the caller uses the current Playlist, Media, Network, graph, device or DRM object instance.
Run the narrow experiment: connect through the normal trusted network path and repeat the same action without modifying the media file.
Do not combine this focused test with a codec-pack change, Player reset, or broad registry cleanup.
If the retest returns a different specific HRESULT, diagnose that new failure as the next stage.

Actions that obscure the cause

copying license-store files between computers.

Technical references

The fix is demonstrated by the same Player path succeeding with the same resource, not by another application opening it.
