## What does Knight Crawler do?
|
|
|
|
Knight Crawler is an addon for [Stremio](https://www.stremio.com/). It began as a fork of the very popular
|
|
[Torrentio](https://github.com/TheBeastLT/torrentio-scraper) addon. Knight crawler essentially does the following:
|
|
|
|
1. It searches the internet for available films and tv shows.
|
|
2. It collects as much information as it can about each film and tv show it finds.
|
|
3. It then stores this information to a database for easy access.
|
|
|
|
When you choose on a film or tv show to watch on Stremio, a request will be sent to your installation of Knight Crawler.
|
|
Knight Crawler will query the database and return a list of all the copies it has stored in the database as Debrid
|
|
links.
|
|
This enables playback to begin immediately for your chosen media.
