Each addon that returns results shows its own row with a horizontal list of posters. Scroll the page to see all addon rows; rows load as they come into view.
What you can search for
The Search page shows hints before you type a query:Categories and genres
Search for a genre name (e.g. “Action”) to find titles tagged with that genre across your addons.
People
Search for an actor or director name to find titles they are associated with.
Protocols and links
Paste a magnet link, HTTP stream URL, or other supported protocol directly into the search bar to open it in the player.
Content types
Search by content type keywords to surface movies, series, channels, and more.
Result rows
Each row in the search results corresponds to a single addon’s response. The row label shows the addon name and catalog. Results inside a row are sorted and ranked by the addon.If no addons return results for a query, or if you have no addons installed that support search, the page shows an empty state message instead of rows.

- Watch a trailer
- Choose a stream from any addon that provides one
- Add or remove the title from your library
