## Welcome
 
Thank you for your patience during the long wait, and above all, thank you for your continued preference and trust in Doothemes.

## What is Dbmovies?
 
Dbmovies is a premium WordPress plugin that turns your website into a fully featured movies and TV shows platform. It is a powerful content engine that allows you to generate large amounts of content in minutes, extracting fresh, structured data from **The Movie Database (TMDb)** and **IMDb** with no delays.
 
Instead of creating every movie, show, season, and episode by hand, Dbmovies automates the entire workflow: it registers the content structure, imports the data, keeps it updated, and gives you the administration tools to manage a media catalog at scale.
