NS_E_PLAYLIST_SHUTDOWN
What the server is validating
This result (0xC00D14BC) marks the in-memory playlist object has already been shut down.
The WMS playlist parser turns WSX/SMIL or another supported source into an in-memory playlist for a client; entry identity, nesting, current direction and shutdown state matter independently of whether the referenced media file exists. In the trace, save the parser-visible playlist after redirects or dynamic generation. When diagnosing this result, the server acts on the resolved document and in-memory entry identities, not necessarily the text the operator first opened.
Reading the second result
| Controlled comparison | Use a known-good object of the same type and vary only the precondition described as “the in-memory playlist object has already been shut down”. |
A controlled correction
- Capture
0xC00D14BC, the symbolic name, the exact API/administrative action and the first failure timestamp. - Preserve shutdown event, client disconnect, publishing-point stop, object instance and late command callback.
- Perform one isolated experiment: cancel late work and obtain a new playlist object for a new client/presentation.
Repeat the test with a newly resolved server object; a stale COM pointer can make a correct configuration appear unchanged.
Related codes are different
Primary distinction: end receding describes directional traversal reaching the boundary, while shutdown invalidates the whole object.
| Nearby result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_PLAYLIST_END_RECEDING | reverse traversal reached the beginning/end boundary of the playlist. |
NS_E_PLAYLIST_TOO_MANY_NESTED_PLAYLISTS | an acyclic include chain exceeds the server nesting limit. |
NS_I_PLAYLIST_CHANGE_RECEDING | the playlist changed while the server was traversing it in reverse. |
Changes that do not establish the cause
- reviving the old COM object after server shutdown.
- a successful ping or local file open is not sufficient proof: the failing service account and Windows Media Services object must perform the same operation.
