this means RIFE/TensorRT works only via Vapoursynth Filter set in MPC-HC. Not via Avisynth Filter. Go to View -> Options -> External filters, uncheck Avisynth Filter, check Vapoursynth Filter.

choose mpv bundled with SVP as described there - https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:SMPlayer
Thanks for responding Chainik. I have already tried everything you describe above. I've attached screenshots of how I set the Vapoursynth filter (see Vapoursynth filter) and how the entire media player crashes after I did that (see MPC-HC crash).
As far a mpv bundled with SVP for SMPlayer, I've aready done that as well, to no avail. (See attached screenshots 43 and 44). Also, I've attached a screenshot showing that I've set the PATHs correctly in environmental variables (see screenshot 45).
If you read some of my posts from years ago I had problems with SVP not working with SMPlayer, but for the better part of a year or two, it's been working fine. I have no idea what happened. I changed nothing, and one day I woke up, fired up SMPlayer, and it stopped working. I don't think the problem is with SMPlayer though, I think the problem is with mpv, because I can't even get the SVP internal mpv player to play a video, the video starts, pauses, and then disappears. The standard fixes don't help, please don't say, just click the "set environmental variables for vapoursynth" in Utilities. I'm way past that. As I said, the whole thing was working for a year+ I'm not just setting this up for the first time. What boggles my mind, though, is that doing a compete uninstall of SMplayer and SVP and then a reinstall still doesn't work. If I were an SVP developer, I certainly would be intrigued and think of this as a challenge. Please do and help.
I think the base and most important central clues to this mystery boil down to 1) The fact that I can't get a video to play through SVP's native mpv player and 2) the "RIFE only works via Vapoursynth!" error message in MPC-HC. It would seem to me that the problem her is somehow focused on Vapoursynth. But I'm not the developer of SVP, so I yield to you.
