Option 1: On any version of windows. Use VLC (link).

Option 2: If you have Windows 7/8/8.1, install K-Lite Codec Pack Mega (link). Use either the included Media Player Classic, or any other player including Windows Media Player.

Option 3: If you have Windows 10, install K-Lite Codec Pack Mega (link). Use the included Media Player Classic. Windows Media Player won't work.

Option 4: If you have any Linux, then you should know what to do better than me.

Option 5: If you have an Apple product, call customer support.

Option 6: If you have Android. Use MX Player, with custom codec pack for ac3 audio. Instructions here.

lol. one heck of an instruction.

I hate VLC. I use k-lite+ KMP
but k-lite+POT player is the best combination. on windows.
on android, I use KMP + custom codec.
MX + custom codec works fine too.

use video player ultimate on Android, MX player can't play AAC and AC3 in many cases.

MX Player plays AAC and AC3 flawlessly in my case, when the custom ffmpeg codecs are installed following the instructions I've linked to. But I've ditched MX Player as well as whole android for video playback because of lack of support for MKV ordered chapters. I liked MX player a lot though, for it's intuitive gesture controls and that HW+ decoder that used to save a lot of battery in my Nexus 7 while still being able to play 10-bit h264 videos. Watched hundreds of hours of Animes on that before ordered chapters became a norm for the encoding groups. Now I use PotPlayer on HP Stream 7, with plan to upgrade to another Windows tab with better quality hardware.

Haven't tried video player ultimate though. Might give it a try sometime in future.

I also hate VLC, mostly because of it's audio quality.

On desktop I use K-lite + JetAudio. I've tried to replace JetAudio multiple times, but no other player gave me better interface+control. Some of the example UI element of JetAudio I can't live without:
1. Middle click to pause with mouse, freeing up the left click to do other stuff.
2. Moving video window by clicking anywhere inside the video, not only the titlebar.
3. Multiple sets of keys in multiple region of keyboard for full set of control.
4. Borderless video window (with option to be always on top), while still having an optional separate taskbar band for control with mouse.
5. Some perfect video/window resize options. Again accessible from various UI elements and keys.
6. Awsome seek options. Like a dedicated seekbar on full screen top. Keyboard seek with arrow keys. 5,10,30,60 sec seek with arrow keys and modifiers. Mouse thumb button seek etc etc.

Also, JetAudio Plus with Sound Expansion pack has better sound than any other video player I've tried, far far better than VLC. It also has a full set of internal codecs but also can use all kind of external codecs provided to it. Giving it the full performance of Media Player Classic while having a better and beautiful UI.

For touch screen though, PotPlayer is best. And I think it doesn't need K-Lite, does it? It has internal codecs for all media formats as far as I know.

1. in KMP you can assign different actions to left single click, left double click or middle click.
2. yep KMP does that too.
3. almost every key is assigned to something by default and you can reassign any button to any action.
4. borderless window + auto hide skin. I love this. skin appears on mouse hover.
5. Not sure what is exclusive here.
6. no dedicated seekbar but, default seekbar appears when you move the mouse. and yes, thumb button/ keys with modifier etc all are there.

JetAudio is good and I used it before too.
KMP has everything and more.
it just takes getting familiar with.

the only thing that doesn't work properly is accurate seek. No problem with fastseek though.
But then again, I haven't come across a player that handles accurate seek well for all video files.

I was talking about MX player without additional codec or something. Video player ultimate can play it without any issue so that's easier.
