[1435] Serious Freezes caused by some Video Players, making VRChat unplayable.

These freezes were caused by worlds using ProTV in particular. I'm unsure what other types are affected. But here's the easy reproduction steps:
- Go to a World using ProTV.
- Try to load a Stream on YouTube.
- See how hard your client freezes.
The URL my Video Player is auto-playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4MdHQOILdw
Here's my own World where it freezes. Test it out here:

Figured out what it was pretty quick, it was some server side issues we were able to resolve. No longer a problem!
Thanks for the report!

This issue has been fixed live.
You may need to restart client if you still has issue.

Tupper said the problem should (hopefully) be solved as of this writing. Said the server-side needed a setting adjusted.
Video Players seem to work fine now again.

- Load in world.
- Wait (in Desktop)
3a. Turn on trackers
3b. Attempt to leave homeworld.
- Observe.
System:
Win10, SteamVR Beta and non-beta, Valve Index, Vive 3.0 trackers, Tundra super dongle.

It seems to be happen once [Video Playback] event happen in all the case.
It also seems to be not limited to Pro TV, it also happen on other video player too.

Note that I'm unable to create crash dumps. All it does is just freeze the client, making the Output Log stop printing right as it freezes. It's a constant application hang.
If you are lucky, you won't crash but the Video won't be able to load whatsoever. But if you try to interact with the controls, then bam you're frozen.

I keep on crashing after the new 03/27/2024 update.
Every time I leave my home world I just hard crash no matter which world it is.

Could be loading audio, everytime a new song played I noticed people freezing at that time

When I load into the game I can access my home world, but crash when I try to go to a different lobby. My Half-body, fully-body and desktop all have the same issue.
