MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_BYTESTREAM_TYPE

MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_BYTESTREAM_TYPE means that the resolver cannot associate the byte stream with a supported source handler. Handler discovery uses the optional URL extension, the stream MIME type, or both.

Give the resolver enough identity

Pass the original URL when available so its filename extension is visible to handler discovery.
Set or preserve the MF_BYTESTREAM_CONTENT_TYPE attribute when the stream has a reliable MIME type.
Do not fabricate a MIME type or extension merely to bypass the error; the selected parser must match the actual bytes.

This is a handler-selection issue. A separate parse error can still occur after a handler is found.
