No, there isn't a single player that can do it all and do it all well. What you just want to do and what can actually be done are two different things. A guide was written to help you understand all the ins and outs. You're posting in it. A few paragraphs down in this guide for HDR setups is a complete description of players I use and why each is unique and needed for a perfectly diverse system. A brief pro and con is emphasized to help in decision making. I prefer to do it all and do it all well. That requires various players. Most compromise, lower their standards, and make do with less by using their one and only player of choice. Then as problems arise, workarounds are suggested. Most prefer the workarounds instead of using the proper player to fit their needs much less an additional one that picks up the slack of the other. Every user is unique and will need to evaluate their unique situation. Then they can choose the players and/or methods to match their situation including you. It's not that hard to adapt what is provided in this guide and in turn tailor your own setup. This is why there isn't a quick little guide here. Elsewhere there are plenty but each with its own limitations and caveats. What may be sufficient for you in a quick setup guide might be utterly useless for another. If after reading the guidance provided here you are still confused, provide your EXACT detailed wishes you want in your environment along with your hardware specs. Perhaps someone will help you fill in a blank or two you're unclear about that the guide here didn't spell out clear enough.
