    • Not sure about PotPlayer one way or the other, but VLC is open source, cross platform, plays EVERYTHING, and the devs have promised never to sell out

    • MPV.net (now available on MS store) or VLC (they are planing an interface refresh on future VLC 4), both are open source and safe. PotPlayer has been on the hall of shame of FFmpeg a long time (https://github.com/FFmpeg/web/blob/master/src/shame), because they do use FFmpeg but do not obey the distribution license of FFmpeg.
