MILERR_NO_REDIRECTION_SURFACE_AVAILABLE

MILERR_NO_REDIRECTION_SURFACE_AVAILABLE is a Windows Media Integration Layer (MIL) HRESULT. It indicates that MIL cannot obtain the redirection surface required to compose or redirect the requested content.

Diagnostic discriminator: Correlate redirection-surface allocation with compositor state, device memory, and visual or window lifetime. If releasing and recreating the target yields a surface for the same content, resource availability or ownership is the relevant cause.

What to check for MILERR_NO_REDIRECTION_SURFACE_AVAILABLE

  • Check device memory pressure, compositor state, and the lifetime of the target window or visual.
  • Release unneeded surfaces and avoid creating redundant large render targets.
  • Handle display or device changes by recreating redirection resources when the owning surface changes.
