NS_E_OFFLINE_MODE
What NS_E_OFFLINE_MODE tells you
The result NS_E_OFFLINE_MODE (0xC00D0BCA) means the application is in offline mode, so Windows Media suppresses network retrieval before contacting the source. The name is useful only when tied to the object and state that produced it; neighboring HRESULTs in the same subsystem can represent later stages.
Build a minimal reproduction
Record offline-mode setting, caller/session, target URL, effective Internet/Player policy, and whether any DNS/TCP attempt was actually made.
Keep those inputs stable while testing one prerequisite at a time. Disable offline mode only if network access is intended, then repeat the same URL. If transport fails afterward, keep that network result separate.
