MF_E_NO_CONTENT_PROTECTION_MANAGER

MF_E_NO_CONTENT_PROTECTION_MANAGER is an application integration error in protected Media Foundation playback. The PMP Media Session needs a route back to the application process for content-enabling actions such as license acquisition, because those actions cannot be completed entirely inside the PMP process.

Check PMP session creation, not the decoder list

Create an attribute store and set MF_SESSION_CONTENT_PROTECTION_MANAGER to the application's IMFContentProtectionManager implementation.
Pass that configuration to MFCreatePMPMediaSession.
Keep BeginEnableContent asynchronous and return the final operation result through the callback/EndEnableContent flow.

Microsoft documents this configuration explicitly for protected playback. A normal Media Session or a PMP session without the callback may work for unprotected content, which can make the failure appear asset-specific. Installing a DRM component or codec does not supply the application callback. Verify the session attributes and callback lifetime before investigating license-server behavior.
