Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BOSS LIGHT at none against Video Player's shown. BOSS LIGHT also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Video Player's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
