SAVER_MEDIACORETESTHANG: recorded condition

SAVER_MEDIACORETESTHANG has value 0x0000F600 and identifies Media Core test hang. The SAVER family is used as a diagnostic classification; public parameter semantics are not available for this value, so the producer, dump type, and accompanying event payload define how it must be read.

Evidence that matters

Preserve test name, media topology, source and sink, codec transforms, clock state, and the thread or callback that stopped progressing. Identify the last completed test step and whether the pipeline was waiting for samples, device I/O, a transform callback, or shutdown.

  • Record the exact Windows build, process or package identity, module versions, capture timestamp, and component that requested the report.
  • Determine whether the artifact is a live kernel dump, application dump, WER report, test-harness result, or a true system bug check before choosing debugger commands.
  • Follow the stack and provider-specific fields back to the operation that stopped progressing; the symbolic bucket is a routing clue rather than a root-cause verdict.

What distinguishes the result

Treat it as a test/pipeline progress problem, not as proof that a particular codec is defective. Compare neighboring SAVER values only after the evidence above identifies the same producer and lifecycle stage; similar-looking names can describe different capture triggers.
