How it works (high-level)

• Discovery: The addon queries torrent indexers or public APIs to find available torrents/magnets for a requested title and episode.
• Metadata matching: It matches releases by title, year, language, resolution, and release group, often using IMDB/TVDB metadata to map to the correct media item in Stremio.
• Streaming: The addon serves a playable stream URL that points to the torrent download (WebTorrent or a bridge service converts the torrent to an HTTP/streaming endpoint). Stremio’s player streams while pieces download.
• Subtitles & quality selection: Many addons offer selectable resolutions and subtitle sources (OpenSubtitles or embedded subtitle files).
• Caching & peers: Playback quality depends on seed/peer availability; some addons rely on external caching/proxy services to improve speed.
