## What it is
KikoPlay is a full-featured danmaku (bullet comment) video player built on Qt and libmpv, with danmu fetching from major video sites, a tree playlist, an anime library, and aria2-based downloading. It also offers LAN web streaming, DLNA casting, whisper.cpp-based subtitle recognition with LLM translation, and extensibility via Lua scripts and extension apps.

## Use cases
- watch local videos with danmaku overlays
- download danmu comments for anime episodes
- play videos from a WebDAV collection
- stream my media library to other devices over LAN
- auto-generate and translate subtitles for videos
- manage and track anime I have watched
- search and download anime resources with aria2
- cast videos to a TV via DLNA

## When to choose
- you want a danmaku-capable desktop player with mpv-level playback control
- you need an all-in-one anime download, watch, and library management tool
- you want local whisper-based subtitle generation with LLM translation
- you need LAN web playback or DLNA media server features
- you want a scriptable player extensible via Lua apps

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight minimal player without danmaku features
- you only need a mobile player (use the separate Android LAN client)
- you require official support on platforms beyond Windows/Linux/macOS
- you want a media server with rich transcoding like Jellyfin or Plex
