- The addon queries Popcorn Time’s database for the movie’s unique torrent hash.
- It compiles a list of available torrent files (usually 1080p, 720p, or 4K).

webtorrent) to start streaming the file.
- As you watch, you are simultaneously uploading that data to other users (P2P sharing).

- Customizable – Add catalogs from IMDb, Trakt, etc.
- Better performance – Debrid support means 4K streams without buffering.
- Cross-platform – Works on Android TV, iOS (via Web), Windows, Mac, Linux.
