NS_E_WMP_COMPONENT_REVOKED
What the code tells you
NS_E_WMP_COMPONENT_REVOKED means a security-sensitive Windows Media component has been revoked and cannot be used until a trusted update replaces it.
The result comes from the protected playback component trust check. A representative case is a protected file reaches rights validation but the installed security component appears on the revocation list.
Evidence to preserve
component identity and version, revocation or certificate status, protected item, update result, system time, and first DRM event.
Build a useful incident record
Reproduce without erasing context
- Record and verify: component identity and version, revocation or certificate status, protected item, update result, system time, and first DRM event.
- Run the controlled comparison: test unprotected content and then a known protected item to confirm that revocation affects the protected path.

NS_E_WMP_BSTR_TOO_LONG | The parameter is not valid. |
NS_E_SUBSCRIPTIONSERVICE_PLAYBACK_DISALLOWED | The content provider has not granted you the right to play this file; Go to the content provider's online store to get play rights. |
Here, missing rights concerns a license for content, while this code rejects the software component itself.
Resolution and proof
For this occurrence, install the legitimate platform or security-component update from Microsoft or the content provider; do not bypass revocation.
