IINA is close to perfect software for me. It has a minimal (invisible until I need it) UI with just the options I need a click away. Yet powerful with all the advanced features available in the menu bar should I need them.

It has clean and well organised preferences that come with sensible defaults.

I have used it for over three years and not had a crash or bug with it ever. Never failed to play a file, even partially downloaded via torrent (so just random fragments of the file it was able to handle properly rather than just error/crash out).

But what I love most is that it is just a media player. It doesn't try to be a capture tool or converter or editor. It plays video and music files and does that job superbly.

If you're a macOS user I can't think of a better media player out there. Plus it is not only free but open source!
