Source: GitHub README

Dynamic Transcoding: Transcode your media to any quality, change on the fly with auto quality, and seek instantly without waiting for the transcoder.
Video Preview Thumbnails: Simply hover the video’s progress bar and see a preview of the video.
Enhanced Subtitle Support: Subtitles are important, Kyoo supports PGS/VODSUB and SSA/ASS and uses the video’s embedded fonts when available.
Anime Name Parsing: Kyoo will match weird anime names (like [Some-Stuffs] Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean 24 (1920x1080 Blu-Ray Opus) [2750810F].mkv) without issue.
Helm Chart: Deploy Kyoo to your Kubernetes cluster today! There is an official Helm chart. Multiple replicas is a WIP!
OIDC Connection: Connect using any OIDC compliant service (Google, Discord, Authelia, you name it). (soon, not reimplemented in v5 yet)
Download and Offline Support: Download videos to watch them without internet access, your progress will automatically be synced next time your devices goes online. (soon, not reimplemented in v5 yet)
