Windows Phone 8 System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

Question

Here's the problem-

I am creating a windows phone 8 app with video streaming capabilities. I am using player framework from-

http://playerframework.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20Started%3A%20WP8%20Smooth%20Streaming%20Player

On following their steps, I get this exception

$exception  {System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Windows.Media.DrmException: 1001

I do not get the above exception if I follow the same steps when creating a new application from scratch. I have also used it before and it works fine.

if I remove the reference to Microsoft.Web.Media.SmoothStreaming.dll, then I get this Exception

An exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module. and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary

The program '[3720] TaskHost.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

So it seems like I am having some conflicting references (thats what I think)

How can I resolve this problem??

All help appreciated, thank you

Answer 1

Sorry

Bad question.

There were capabilities missing from the manifest file of the app.
