in plain english

LACartoons Stremio Addon is an unofficial plugin for Stremio, the cross-platform media player app used to organize and stream video content from multiple sources in one interface. It adds the LACartoons website's catalog to Stremio, giving you access to animated series and cartoons from a Spanish-language library aimed at Latin American audiences. Once installed, shows from LACartoons appear directly in Stremio's library so you can browse and watch without leaving the app. The plugin works by scraping the LACartoons website to find video links, then presenting those links to Stremio as streamable content. It extracts both .m3u8 playlist streams and .mp4 video files automatically. A separate command-line tool called yt-dlp is used as a fallback when standard direct extraction does not work. You need to download yt-dlp separately and set its file path inside the main script before running the addon. You run the plugin as a local Node.js server on your own machine. Installation is a standard Node workflow: clone the repository, run npm install, and start the server with node addon.js. The official instructions are written for Windows using PowerShell, though the steps should work on any system with Node.js 16 or later. After starting the server, you add the addon to Stremio by pointing it at the local address the server prints. The README for this project is brief and written in Spanish. The author specifically calls out scraping logic and connection stability as areas that could use improvement and welcomes contributions. The license is MIT.

Stream extraction for some LACartoons episodes is failing. Where in addon.js should I debug the scraping logic for .m3u8 links?
prompt 3
Help me add a search feature to the stremio-lacartoons catalog so users can filter shows by title in Stremio's search bar.
