'''BS.Player''' made by the [[Slovenia]]n software company [[Webteh]] is a [[media player (application software)|media player]] for [[Windows OS]], that plays back several types of [[multimedia]] files (including [[Audio Video Interleave|AVI]], [[MPEG]], [[Ogg]], [[Matroska]], [[Advanced Systems Format|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. After the first installation, it will check for installed codecs and prompt user to install any codecs required.
It comes in two versions: FREE and PRO.
The BS.Player 2.xx supports [[Windows 2000]], [[Windows XP|XP]], [[Windows Vista|Vista]] and [[Windows 7|7]], while 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 (and later) will work even if the user removes BS.ControlBar completely or does not install it at all. With version 2.4 and later, BS.Player includes BS.ControlBar powered by Conduit and Google(tm) search.
