NS_E_WMP_IMAPI_DEVICE_INVALIDTYPE

The selected device cannot serve as the required recorder

NS_E_WMP_IMAPI_DEVICE_INVALIDTYPE (0xC00D11C9) means Windows Media Player cannot use the selected device as the recording target. The device may be busy, misidentified, disconnected, or exposed through a driver/provider that does not present the required recorder interface.

Inspect device selection

Record the selected recorder ID, device class/capabilities, connection state, active operations, driver/firmware version, and IMAPI enumeration result. Confirm the Player is not holding a stale device object after reconnect or hardware change.

Verification

Let any current recording task finish, re-enumerate recorders, and select a device that advertises the required recording capability. Reacquire its interface before retrying. A compatible recorder that later rejects the disc should produce a media-specific result instead.
