NS_E_WMP_OUTOFMEMORY

Diagnosing NS_E_WMP_OUTOFMEMORY in the Windows Media Player playback path

NS_E_WMP_OUTOFMEMORY (0xC00D11C6) is returned when the Player or one of its graph components failed a memory allocation or commit request.

Capture process commit, system commit, graph size, and the allocation stage that failed. A generic restart may clear pressure temporarily but does not distinguish exhaustion from a component leak or an oversized operation.

Controlled playback comparison

Capture the resource identity and process private bytes, commit charge, allocation size, 32/64-bit process, decoder buffers and leak trend.
Verify that the caller uses the current Playlist, Media, Network, graph, device or DRM object instance.
Run the narrow experiment: reproduce with one short sample in a fresh process while tracing allocations and graph construction.
Do not combine this focused test with a codec-pack change, Player reset, or broad registry cleanup.
If the retest returns a different specific HRESULT, diagnose that new failure as the next stage.

Actions that obscure the cause

deleting media files to solve virtual address exhaustion.
