Chappa'ai: A Metalliq Alternative for Kodi

Chappa’ai by Mr. Blamo is a fork of the very popular add-on Metalliq which would allow you to search across several add-ons at the same time and allow you to choose which add-on to stream from. The original add-on was extremely popular and could be seen featured in all the popular builds across the community. I can tell you Blamo never seems to disappoint so I am excited to spend some time playing with this add-on to see how it stacks up against the original. If Blamo put the same effort into this as he has with Death Streams, Placenta, and Neptune Rising I can tell you we have a winner on our hands.

Chappa’ai: Current Version of this add-on is G.0.2

This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help, go to ares-project.uk for further support.

You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution

If you use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access.

So what do we know about Chappa’ai? We know Blamo is in the driver’s seat so we are in good hands. We know the add-on is similar to Q’s Metalliq add-on that was vastly popular in the community. Also we are aware this add-on may need a few tweaks and for this we will wait for my colleague T-Man. He is already working behind the scenes to put together a step by step guide on how to optimize this add-on. As always thanks for joining us and we are happy to bring you more and more content.

f4mTester-What is it and do I need it ?

f4mTester What, Where and Why ? The What : F4mTester was created by the developer Shani, (you may remember the now dead Zen Add-on) where it was placed in their Repo as a dependency. In a nutshell, f4mTester decodes various types streaming video files. That includes HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) and Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) streams that are displayed in media players, including Kodi. When you open a streaming video in your media player, it needs to be decoded to view. The F4M manifest file helps your media player understand and decode the video stream. Since this file contains info about the stream, f4mTester helps Kodi read those F4M files and decode them in a way that makes sense. So simply put, f4mTester locates the F4M files and helps Kodi display the live streams that you want to watch. Without it, many live streaming Kodi addons would not work or would have serious issues displaying a large amount of content. The Where: Normally, we would have...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...
