    Buffering is so bad that I changed the value from 2% to 10% but then playback gets stuck and locks up computer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    If you have not already done so try unchecking the setting shown in the screenshot below. For a long while I got stutter on several different Live TV urls until disabling the MPUrlSourceSplitter in favour of LAV became available with this setting.

    This has solved the buffer issue for YouTube but has the video stutter for TMDb in Trailers plugin.

    To the best of my knowledge that setting is only applied to the use of the MPUrlSourceSplitter when using the Online Videos plugin.
    Are you saying the problem with the Trailers plugin has happened since changing that setting or has it always been there, the Trailers problem that is?

    just did a small test and youtube's protection hasn't changed.
    And seeing that switching to LAV solved it, the issue should be something else...
    About IMDB, are you refering to the IMDB site in onlinevideos or indeed the Trailers plugin?

    Trailers uses OnlineVideos to view YouTube trailers.
    The buffer issue is fixed for both YouTube and TMDb in Trailers when disabling MPUrlSourceSplitter in OnlineVideos.
    The video jitters only occurs for YouTube and TMDb in Trailers when I disable MPUrlSourceSplitter in OnlineVideos.

    I agree.
    Buffer fixed with that change yes. It is something else to do with the playback as the buffer is 100%.
    I meant TMDb, not IMDB. Not sure but when I changed the MPUrlSourceSplitter setting in OnlineVideos the buffer for TBDb was fixed as well.

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
