To solve the problem of "MPC-HC has stopped working" when trying to play an ogg file due to the ffdshow filter not being configured, you can try the following steps:
- Open MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema).
- Go to "View" and select "Options."
- In the left menu, expand "Internal Filters" and select "Transform Filters."
- Locate "ffdshow Audio Decoder" in the list on the right.
- Check the box next to it to enable the filter.
- Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the settings.
- Try playing the ogg file again, and it should work without the "MPC-HC has stopped working" error message.
