Having the same issue, glad I found this thread. My player doesn't crash but it just never does anything and after closing out with the X, it stays open in the background and I have to end task on it to play any video afterwards.
It loads up fine on 360p, but on 480p I'm not even seeing any bandwidth activity. Once I disabled the ffdshow as instructed, 480p video loads (does take a while to play but it loads and I can see my bandwidth being used right away).
So I re-enabled the ffdshow and loaded the same thing from svptube, SVP said "waiting for ffdshow video" at first and didn't think it was working but then it kicked in about 30 seconds or so into the video and it's working now.
Don't know if this is a coincidence but I guess try disabling the ffdshow filter, playing through svp tube, then re-enabling ffdshow and restarting MPC-HC. ![big_smile](https://www.svp-team.com/forum/img/smilies/big_smile.png)
