This seems to be an issue with NVIDIA cards only (See this thread:
Why IMFMediaEngine::TransferVideoFrame return E_FAIL and throw a exception on GTS 250 on 64 bit Wind). I think I've found a workaround if you do the following:
1) You need to create your device with a feature level of 9.3 or lower in your call to D3D11CreateDevice.
2) You also need to add multithreaded protection using the ID3D10MultiThread interface.
My creation code now looks like this:
const D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL featureLevelsRequested[] =
{
// Playback seems to fail with 11 and 10 feature levels
/*
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0,
*/
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_3,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_2,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1
};
UINT numLevelsRequested = sizeof(featureLevelsRequested) / sizeof(featureLevelsRequested[0]);
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL featureLevelSupported;
HRESULT hr;
if(FAILED(hr = D3D11CreateDevice(NULL,
D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE,
NULL,
0,
featureLevelsRequested,
numLevelsRequested,
D3D11_SDK_VERSION,
&m_Device,
&featureLevelSupported,
&m_Context)))
{
return;
}
// Multithreaded protection also needs to be enabled to allow the video player to safely access the device
ID3D10Multithread* multiThread = nullptr;
m_Context->QueryInterface(&multiThread);
if(multiThread != nullptr)
{
multiThread->SetMultithreadProtected(TRUE);
multiThread->Release();
}
So it seems like a threading issue on NVIDIA cards, but that's as far as I can tell. It certainly looks that way, as the errors weren't consistent, and our code would seem to freeze in different places each time (one time the video playback caused a blue
screen). It seems to mostly work OK now, though there are still a couple of errors printed out during video playback:

It'd still be nice to get a response from either Microsoft or NVIDIA on this issue. The problem is that we can't get a stack trace or anything, as it doesn't crash internally, it just doesn't work.
