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 


smart dns, unblock kodi sources, private dns, uncensored dns, unblockr


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.  Please don’t forget to visit our main page http://best-kodi-guides.eu/ to stay up-to-date with all of our great content.

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman.  In recent history there have been a number of high profile  repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons.  Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer.  A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit.  Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake.  Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address.  I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion.  As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton.  Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along.  While I was...

Changing the Movie Icon Size in Krypton/Jarvis

What is a Movie Icon ? Movie Icon is a general term used to describe the Fan-art of a Movie/TV Show in a Video Add-on. Such as Placenta, Elysium or Death Streams to name a few. Many also call it Thumbnails because it is a small version of a Poster of a Movie/TV Show. All Devs utilize these Icons to give those using their Add-ons a visual aid of what each Movie/TV Show appears as. So you sit down with the Family to watch a movie. But wouldn’t it be nice to just see what movies there are in a larger Icon like you seen in a Poster. Especially for the little ones who can’t read but certainly recognize a Favorite Character of theirs. To be honest even some the “Older Kids” eyesight could use a break from squinting I’m sure,present company included. Here are a few easy steps that will allow you to view a Icon or enable Thumbnail view. For this article a “clean” version of Krypton 17.3 was used with the Estuary Skin. Jarvis 16.1 version was used with the Pulse Build and Xonfluen...
