This document explains how to search for content on individual streaming sites in StreamingCommunity, allowing you to target specific sources for your media.

StreamingCommunity supports multiple streaming sites, each with its own content library and features. Site-specific search allows you to search directly on a particular site when you know where to look for your content.

The application dynamically loads available site modules, which may include:

• altadefinizione: Italian streaming site for movies
• animeunity: Anime streaming site
• animeworld: Anime streaming site
• cb01new: Italian streaming site for movies and TV shows
• ddlstreamitaly: Italian streaming site requiring authentication
• guardaserie: Italian streaming site for TV series
• mostraguarda: Italian streaming site for movies and TV shows
• streamingcommunity: Italian streaming site for movies and TV shows
• 1337xx: Torrent site for various content

The exact list of available sites may vary based on your installation and updates to the project.

You can search a specific site directly from the command line using the site-specific argument:

python test_run.py --sitename_search -s "your search terms"

Replace sitename_search with the actual site argument (e.g., --animeworld_search).

If you don't provide search terms with the -s flag, you'll be prompted to enter them.

When running StreamingCommunity without command line arguments:

1. Start the application:

   python test_run.py

2. When presented with the site selection menu, enter the number corresponding to your desired site

3. Enter your search terms when prompted

Sites are categorized by the type of content they primarily offer:

• Film: Sites focusing on movies
• Serie: Sites focusing on TV series
• Anime: Sites focusing on anime content
• Film_Serie: Sites offering both movies and TV series
