Diagnosing NS_E_WMP_VIDEO_CODEC_NOT_INSTALLED in the Windows Media Player playback path
NS_E_WMP_VIDEO_CODEC_NOT_INSTALLED (0xC00D11C8) is returned when no installed video decoder accepts the stream subtype advertised by the source filter.
Diagnostic discriminator: Capture the video stream subtype and enumerate installed decoders that advertise support for it. A known-good stream using an installed subtype distinguishes a missing decoder from a damaged source, renderer, or network path.
Actions that obscure the cause
- lowering screen resolution to compensate for a missing decoder.
