A more effective and better solution to this is to use a debrid service.
#### Metadata Addons
Metadata addons provide metadata for content. This includes the name, actors, genre, runtime etc.
These addons are used by Stremio to display information about the content you are watching.
Each metadata provider will use separate title IDs for content. You can see the ID prefix when you open a title in [Stremio Web](https://web.stremio.com/) by looking at the URL in the address bar.
If you open a title in Stremio from the Cinemeta addon (For example, Silo), you will see that it makes use of tt ID's. These correspond to the IMDb ID's for the content.
If you now open a title from the TMDB addon, you will see that it has the tmdb prefix. These correspond to the TMDB ID's for the content.
Content from addons that use different prefixes will be considered as separate content by Stremio. If you choose a movie and start watching it from Cinemeta, if you later access it from TMDB, it will not show your previous progress, and it will also refetch addon stream results.
You may notice that you may not get accurate results for anime content sometimes.
To combat this, the Anime Kitsu addon was created. This makes use of the Kitsu ID. Kitsu, as a database focused on anime content, is more accurate than other metadata providers.
The Torrentio addon, maintained by the same developer as the Anime Kitsu addon, has support for Kitsu ID's.
This means that you can use the Anime Kitsu addon for metadata and the Torrentio addon for streams to get better results for anime content.
## Debrid Services
Debrid services generate unrestricted, high-speed, HTTPS links to torrents or files on supported file hosters (such as Mega, 1fichier etc) by downloading the torrent or file to their servers first.
