Topic: No video, "The player is in pause state"

I've installed the full SVP package according to the instructions, but when I try to play a video (using the bundled MPC), I can hear the audio but the video is just a black screen. The SVP Manager tooltip shows 'The player is in pause state' even though the player is not paused.

I've read through the FAQ and made sure that my ffdshow settings are correct, and it does seem to detect that the video is playing as I don't get the "Waiting for ffdshow" message.

This is on a Lenovo laptop with an Intel core i7 CPU and an nvidia geforce gtx 660m GPU. My last launch log is attached, but my 'additional information' log is empty. (Do I need to enable debugging somewhere for that to work?)

Can anyone offer any advice on getting SVP to work?

Re: No video, "The player is in pause state"

Sounds like some video driver's and/or NV optimus or what it called now issue.
Try to
- check Optimus options
- switch between video renderers in MPC-HC settings

SVP can be even turned off completely - you just need to make video playback working in mpc-hc

Thanks, I'm not sure what I changed (I think all I actually did was open up the NVidia control panel) but it's working now.
