NS_E_WMP_CD_STASH_NO_SPACE
Practical scope of NS_E_WMP_CD_STASH_NO_SPACE
This HRESULT is produced at allocating local staging space for files and converted audio before burning. This result belongs to cd/dvd recording and imapi state, not to an undifferentiated “Windows Media problem.”
Pipeline position
A recorder that enumerates can still be busy, incompatible with the inserted medium or unable to sustain the selected write operation. In a typical failing run, conversion output fills the temporary volume before the first sector is written.
Reproduction record
| Evidence | Why it matters for cd stash no space |
|---|---|
| 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 | staging path, free/reserved bytes, estimated temporary size and item count |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: free space or move the staging directory to a local volume with sufficient capacity. |
Verification procedure
- Capture
0xC00D11D5, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save staging path, free/reserved bytes, estimated temporary size and item count; 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: free space or move the staging directory to a local volume with sufficient capacity.

Change the smallest responsible condition
The targeted action is to free space or move the staging directory to a local volume with sufficient capacity. While retesting it, keep unrelated media, device, playlist and network values unchanged.
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.
Discriminating evidence: Measure free space in the temporary CD staging location and the size of the files being prepared for the burn. Staging-space exhaustion occurs before media-capacity validation; a file that cannot fit on the target disc is a separate limit.
