BS.Player made by the Slovenian software company Webteh is a media player for Windows OS, that plays back almost every type of multimedia files (including AVI, MPEG, Ogg, Matroska, ASF, QuickTime, MP4, WAV, mp3...) and specializes in video and audio playback.

BS.Player, like most media players, requires that the correct codecs and splitters are installed beforehand to play back formats that are not supported by default.It comes in three versions: FREE, PROlite and PRO. The latest version is 2.31.

The current release supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista, however, older releases also supported Windows 98 and Windows ME.

History

Beginning with version 1.38, the free version of BS.Player was bundled with an adware package called WhenU by the authors in an effort to pay the development costs. In September 2007, WhenU Save adware program was exchanged with MeMedia AdVantage (http://memedia.com/). In August 2008 all bundled adware was completely removed from BS.Player FREE and BS.Player ControlBar (toolbar) was added. The BS.Player 2.30 FREE version will work even if the user removes BS.ControlBar completely.
