Quick User Summary

Megakino is commonly used as a German-language movie/series index with embedded hosters. In AniBridge, it uses a dedicated integration path.

Background And History

• Late 2022 – Megakino emerges as a prominent German-language streaming indexer, filling the market gap for high-quality movie and series links. Tarnkappe.info
• 27 Feb 2024 – The CUII (Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet) issues a formal blocking recommendation for the primary domain megakino.co in Germany. CUII - Recommendations
• Mid 2024 – The platform begins aggressive domain-hopping (moving to .ltd, .fun, and .vip) to evade DNS blocks from major German ISPs. Internet-Beschwerdestelle
• 11 Sept 2024 – The Austrian regulatory body RTR authorizes Austrian ISPs to block a wide list of Megakino mirrors, including .rip, .biz, and .men.
• Present – Megakino continues to operate through a decentralized mirror system.

Because source reliability in this area is inconsistent, this page focuses on what users can reliably expect from AniBridge behavior.

What You Can Expect In AniBridge

• AniBridge can load title/slug data from Megakino sitemaps.
• It can resolve slugs for movie and serial pages.
• Search uses a Megakino-native strategy.
• AniBridge attempts direct provider URL resolution and uses fallback behavior when needed.

Practical Notes For Setup

• Provider key in config: megakino
• Slugs typically follow: /(serials|films)/<id>-<slug>
• AniBridge uses sitemap indexing for this provider (not alphabet-page parsing).
• Default language candidates in AniBridge:
  • Deutsch
  • German Dub

Resolution Behavior

For direct URL resolution, AniBridge:

• resolves the canonical Megakino page for a slug
• extracts embedded provider URLs
• tries preferred provider first when configured
• falls back to iframe URL when no extractor returns a direct media URL

Configuration

Common environment variables:

• CATALOG_SITES (include megakino to enable)
• MEGAKINO_BASE_URL
• MEGAKINO_TITLES_REFRESH_HOURS
• MEGAKINO_DOMAIN_CHECK_INTERVAL_MIN

See Environment for full definitions.

Things To Keep In Mind

• Domain availability and sitemap structure can change over time.
• Search and resolution quality depend on provider responses and iframe hosters.
• Legal and provider-policy status can change. Re-check before long-term automation.
