There is likely no single player as an overall solution, but I would say using the K-Lite Mega codec Pack is probably the closest you can come to this as it turns WMP Classic version into a player for just about every media type out there.

It is also a nice replacement/alternative for intrusive software that throw themselves everywhere into startup and fight for ownership of file associations such as Quicktime, RealPlayer... etc...

Further it is fast and opens in less than a second in even very old PC systems.
But the best part is of course that it is completely free, no popups, banners, nothing annoying added to its install.
