## Description

Animeko is a cross-platform desktop media client designed to aggregate video streams and peer-to-peer content into a single, unified interface. It functions as a centralized hub for media consumption, allowing users to manage multiple content providers and playback sources within one application.

The client distinguishes itself by integrating a specialized engine for real-time peer-to-peer stream buffering, which enables immediate playback of media files directly from decentralized network sources. It further enhances the viewing experience by rendering community-contributed text overlays directly over video content and maintaining consistent watch history across multiple devices through external tracking services.

The application includes tools for hardware-level performance configuration, allowing users to assign specific graphics processors to resolve rendering inconsistencies. It also features automated software update mechanisms and the ability to manage metadata and quality metrics across disparate media sources to ensure a consistent playback environment.
