NS_E_IMAPI_LOSSOFSTREAMING
How to investigate NS_E_IMAPI_LOSSOFSTREAMING
The code 0xC00D117E narrows the event to sustaining the IMAPI recorder data stream throughout the write operation. Retain the first lower-level error.
What the Player is doing
A recorder that enumerates can still be busy, incompatible with the inserted medium or unable to sustain the selected write operation. A realistic trigger is that the drive requests sectors faster than the encoder or source storage can deliver them.
Capture before changing state
| Evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | recorder unique ID and exclusive-access owner, inserted media profile/state, burn format, playlist item, source locality, duration/byte estimate, staging directory free space, write speed, current IMAPI action and underlying HRESULT |
| Key observation | selected write speed, recorder buffer status, source-read latency, staging path and low-level IMAPI result |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: retry at a lower supported speed after staging every source file on a responsive local volume. |
Five-step isolation test
- Capture
0xC00D117E, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save selected write speed, recorder buffer status, source-read latency, staging path and low-level IMAPI result; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- Correlate the result with recorder unique ID and exclusive-access owner, inserted media profile/state, burn format, playlist item, source locality, duration/byte estimate, staging directory free space, write speed, current IMAPI action and underlying HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: retry at a lower supported speed after staging every source file on a responsive local volume.
- Start a fresh operation and verify that the original call advances without returning
NS_E_IMAPI_LOSSOFSTREAMING.
Different conditions in the same family
| Related result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_FAIL_LAUNCH_ROXIO_PLUGIN | activating the legacy third-party recording plug-in selected by the Player |
NS_E_MEMSTORAGE_BAD_DATA | reading the in-memory burn description or staged item data |
NS_E_IMAPI_MEDIUM_INVALIDTYPE | matching the inserted optical medium to the recording format and recorder profile requested by the burn job |
Correction criteria
The test is successful when you retry at a lower supported speed after staging every source file on a responsive local volume, recreate the owning operation, and the original call no longer returns it.
During verification, do not repeatedly start a new burn against a drive that still owns or finalizes the previous session; capture the media state and recorder owner before ejecting or replacing the disc.
