Description
Playing any MP4 video on MFPlayer2 results in a crash in the d3d9.dll when selecting PLAY. Intel and AMD video plays fine.
In creating another set of basic test code using MFPCreateMediaPlayer() function it also crashes. Tests were done on three different systems on Windows 10, using local file MP4 and web url MP4 content.
Is there a workaround to allow MFPlayer (and Media Foundation Player in general) to function on nVidia GPUs?

Research direction
Start by reproducing MP4 playback through MFPlayer2 and MFPCreateMediaPlayer() on Windows 10 with an NVIDIA GPU, comparing the d3d9.dll crash against Intel and AMD systems. Review the available sample entry points and determine whether a workaround or fix makes local and web MP4 playback function without crashing.
