BSPlayer
From KickAssAnime Wiki
BSPlayer claims to be an all-in-one media player, but in reality it's a buggy, broken joke. When the CCCP staff, on request from many users on the AnimeSuki forums, tried to make it compatible with the CCCP, they eventually succeeded in making a very specific version work provided that one adjusted some of the default settings. This took three people two and a half hours to accomplish. If you are interested in what they encountered while doing it, you may read this article.
Use of BSPlayer is NOT recommended, but if you are a fanatic, you should read CCCP FAQ entry to make it work at all.

List of known BSPlayer issues
All tested versions
- Overlay Mode 1 (the default) is completely broken. It only works about 50% of the time, and almost never if YV12 output is enabled in ffdshow.
- VSFilter can't be loaded unless "Allow intermediate filters" is on (it is off by default) and internal subtitle rendering is off (it is on by default). BSPlayer's internal subtitle renderer doesn't understand styled SSA softsubs.
- If "Advanced graph building" is off, the player may take a LONG time to load and unload different filters before starting playback. Sometimes it either gets stuck in an infinite loop and has to be killed manually, or it simply crashes.
- Turning "Advanced graph building" and "Allow intermediate filters" seems to be permanent - once turned on they can't be turned back off without a reinstall.
- The player usually crashes if you open another file while the player is already playing something.
Version 1.35 build 823
- Completely incompatible with Haali's splitter - crashes with dual audio MKV's.
- Crashes if you open any file with more than one track of any kind.
Version 1.32 build 820
- This is probably the least broken version that we've tested. It has no known issues other than the ones listed above that applies to all these versions.
Version 1.23 build 817
- Getting subs in OGM's (and sometimes in MKV's) using VSFilter is a very difficult project. OGM seems impossible, MKV seems broken about half of the times.
Unverified issues
- Some versions complain about not finding a working decoder if only the CCCP or ffdshow is installed, overlay mode 1 is used and the ffdshow option "Only connect to compatible filters" is on.
