NS_E_INVALID_PUSH_TEMPLATE
Mechanism and scope
This result (0xC00D151A) marks the named template cannot supply valid settings for a push publishing point.
A server distribution path connects a data source, parser, media header and one or more data sinks; push publication adds an encoder-to-server control path, while client delivery uses a separate protocol and connection state. In the trace, trace input and output independently: source selection, parsing/header creation and sink selection are separate checkpoints.
Test the owning precondition
- Capture
0xC00D151A, this result, the exact API/administrative action and the first failure timestamp. - Preserve template name, existence, publishing-point type, exported configuration and plug-in settings inherited from it.
- Perform one isolated experiment: select a valid template or create the push point explicitly with reviewed settings.
Code-specific failure anatomy
A representative occurrence is when the named template cannot supply valid settings for a push publishing point. Capture template name, existence, publishing-point type, exported configuration and plug-in settings inherited from it together with the object instance and the exact administrative or protocol request.
For a useful negative control, select a valid template or create the push point explicitly with reviewed settings.
The tempting but misleading response is using the template name as the publishing-point name. That action does not test the distinction that matters here: invalid push publishing point concerns the target instance; invalid template concerns the configuration copied to create it.
Evidence that separates this code
| Controlled comparison | Use a known-good object of the same type and vary only the precondition described as “the named template cannot supply valid settings for a push publishing point”. |
Changes that do not establish the cause
- using the template name as the publishing-point name.
Comparison with adjacent states
Primary distinction: invalid push publishing point concerns the target instance; invalid template concerns the configuration copied to create it.
| Nearby result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_INVALID_PUSH_PUBLISHING_POINT | the push target is absent, wrong type or otherwise unsuitable for encoder push. |
NS_E_DATAPATH_NO_SINK | the constructed data path has no data writer capable of consuming its packets. |
NS_E_CRITICAL_ERROR | the Windows Media server or publishing point is in a critical error state that blocks further operations. |
