NS_E_REDIRECT
What the server is validating
This result (0xC00D1388) marks the server has selected another server or URL as the continuation target. The most useful interpretation starts with the Windows Media Services object that returned the HRESULT.
A Windows Media presentation has its own context and generation; redirects, updated descriptions and client reconnections can replace the active presentation while an older command still carries identifiers from the previous one. In the trace, correlate commands with the current presentation context; a reconnect or redirect can leave transport working while invalidating a previously captured context.
A controlled correction
- Capture
0xC00D1388, this result, the exact API/administrative action and the first failure timestamp. - Preserve the redirect target, original request URL, control protocol, hop count and the response that supplied the new location.
Code-specific failure anatomy
In a representative incident, the server has selected another server or URL as the continuation target and rejects the operation before the caller can safely assume the next stage occurred. The incident record should therefore join the redirect target, original request URL, control protocol, hop count and the response that supplied the new location with the object instance and the exact administrative or protocol request.
For a useful negative control, issue one request directly to the returned target and compare its publishing-point identity with the original target.
The tempting but misleading response is treating the result as packet loss or retrying the original URL forever. That action does not test the distinction that matters here: a redirect is a routing decision; a stale presentation means the command refers to obsolete presentation metadata.
