MF_E_MP3_OUTOFDATA
MF_E_MP3_OUTOFDATA means the MP3 parser reached the end of the data it was given before finding the MP3 structure it needed. The diagnostic emphasis is on premature exhaustion, not simply on an unsupported codec.
Verify where end-of-stream was reported
- Compare the byte-stream length, bytes actually read, and the offset of the last successful read.
- Check asynchronous read completion code for zero-byte completions, short-read handling, and buffers that are released or reused while a read is pending.
- For downloaded content, preserve the exact response body and confirm it was not truncated.
Streaming parsers commonly need more input before they can advance to the next frame; mpg123, for example, has an explicit “need more” result in its feed mode. That does not prove identical Media Foundation internals, but it is a useful reminder to distinguish incomplete input from invalid MPEG headers. Re-encoding should come after proving the source is complete.
