Chappa`ai, the New Fork of MetalliQ

Chappa`ai a Fork of MetalliQ

The introduction of Chappa`ai has been discussed by one of our favorite Bloggers Gizmo. Due to his Blog ( click here for the link) providing the information on where and how to install this Add-on, we’ll move on to show you how to use it correctly. If you have this installed already, you may skip this section and proceed to Configuring in a Build.

Enabling Chappa`ai

Since you have installed Chappa`ai as per the Installation Blog by Gizmo, we’ll deal with how to install and enable the add-on itself.

Once you have installed the Blamo Repo,

Open.

Select Video Add-ons.

After opening, scroll down to Chappa`ai and click.

In the new Window, select Install.

chappa`ai

Once the Install confirmation appears in the top right corner, select the Add-on again to continue.

chappa`ai

Select Configure to continue.

Under the heading General and scroll down to TotalSetup if this is the first time setting up Chappa`ai.

Configuring Chappa`ai in a Build

Some builds may have the Add-on pre-configured to a default Movie/TV Show Add-on. Maybe you would prefer to use another Add-on for both options or just change one. We will show you how to do this for Movies and or TV Shows. For the purpose of this article, I have selected the Durex Build at random.

First of all, lets locate the Chappa`ai Add-on in My Add-ons and open it. Select Configure.

Highlight General.

Scroll down to Rerun TotalSetup and click.

You’ll be bounced back to the Add-on main page where there will be a series of confirmations indicating the Movie, TV Shows Players and Library etc. have been reset.

There will be a prompt asking you to “remove your existing players first ?” Click on Yes. Select Configure again please to continue.

chappa`ai

Back again to General and at the top select Enable all players.

chappa`ai

Once again you’ve been bounced, wait for the Confirmation of Players Enabled and select Configure. Again.

Selecting Preferred Player

As indicated by the Red Arrow above, I happened to have Placenta as my preferred Movie Player. In other words, when I wish to view a movie, Placenta will be the Add-on used to search in. More about this a bit further on. If you wish to change to a different Player, select Preferred movie player.

chappa`ai

In addition to seeing Placenta, you will notice there are other Movie Add-ons included in this list. This list will vary from Build to Build, consequently those who do not have a build installed will only see the Add-ons you have installed. The more you have installed, the more you will see here. Find the Movie Add-on of your choice and select to enable it.

To enable the TV Show Player, simply select the heading TV Show and repeat from the selection offered.

Playing a Movie

To play a Movie,

Open the Chappa`ai add-on, Select Movies.

I selected Popular from the TMDb list. Notice there is a list for Trakt, so if you have a Trakt TV account you can take advantage of that list as well. That can be added under the Custom heading found in Configure.

chappa`ai

The Shape of Water was randomly selected, notice the amount of sources that were found in both paid (Real Debrid) and free.

Finally, the end result especially relevant is the Resolution and Audio found. This was all done on Krypton 17.6 and the device was a PC w/ W10.

In Conclusion

Using the Chappa`ai fork is no different than using MetalliQ add-on. A few tweaks here and there will make it beneficial to Kodi users when streaming Movies or TV Shows. Please don’t forget to stop by our main page http://best-kodi-guides.eu/ and stay up to date with more of our great content.

Xtreme Odyssey: Kodi Add-on

Xtreme Odyssey is another add-on to find a new home when Looking Glass left the scene and luckily for us Loose Cannon found a home with Team Illuminati. Xtreme Odyssey has a Red Bull Xtreme Sports section. This add-on is a mixed bag add-on that has Movie and Tv sections as well Live Events, Olympics, Documentaries and more. The direct links make the add-on very easy to use and the amount of content makes this add-on a winner. I am happy to see Loose Cannon bring this add-on back and I think you will agree. The few items I checked were in 1080p quality and loaded seamlessly. So now that we know you are going to like the add-on let’s go ahead and install it. Xtreme Odyssey: Current version of this addon is 2.7 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution If you...

How to Install Every Repo

The key thing to adding content to Kodi is via repositories – a “repo” is the “central storage point” for an authors add ons. Add-ons provide you with content, so you will see someone reference say Genesis and Lambda – Lambda is the author and has his repository, and Genesis is the add on held in that repo for you to install. A repo can have multiple add ons. These add ons are grouped as Program, Video, etc. I hope that’s simple enough – that’s my fifth version, if you have a simpler way to explain, please comment below and I’ll add it in! Repository Addresses Every repo has a url, an address (or source) you need to add into Kodi’s File Manager in order to install the repo into your Kodi locally. I have created a list of the most popular (I hope!) although this isn’t meant to be every repo every created. I am providing a list here of the repo’s rather than write 150 articles for each individual. This will also...

GenieTv Workouts: Fitness Kodi Add-on

GenieTv Workouts is by far the best workout/fitness add-on I have ever used, tested, or seen and I am very happy to tell you about it. What makes GenieTv Workouts special and different is the amount of categories. Not only do you have the typical “Beach Body” and “Insanity” workouts you also can search by Calories Burned, Duration, Trainer, and more. GenieTv Workouts is a Kodi add-on that allows you to design your workout and not make you feel like your only choice is to go to Insanity… No pun intended. This add-on is great for the beginner and for the health and fitness conscious individual. Now that we know it is a great add-on let’s figure out how to install and use it. GenieTv Workouts: Current Version of this add-on is 0.0.1 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XBMC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored...

Removing Old/ Non-Working Add-ons & Repositories

Removing Old Add-ons/Repositories Removing Add-ons and Repositories that no longer function is a natural progression of our theme directed towards new users to Kodi. As we all know, sometimes an Add-on or a Repository will cease to function for no fault of our own. But what is the best way to remove these? We will provide you the easiest method to remove an individual Add-on as well as the associated Repository. In addition we’ll also show you how to remove any URL Sources in File Manager. Why Removing Add-ons/Repos is Important While it appears the advice concerning repositories is factual and from reliable sources, you may have by mistake installed a Repo/ Add-on that may be malicious or may be using addons that are not from reliable sources. A perfect example is this excellent article concerning Kodil-Exodus-Indigo Blog. As a result, these should be removed as soon as possible. Lets start with a single Add-on. Removing Add-ons First step after opening Kodi is to Click Add-0ns...

Cyphers Quentin Tarantino Homage

Cyphers Quentin Tarantino Homage is just another example of an excellent add-on by Cypher. He has had a great influence on the community and I am a big fan of this add-on and the director that inspired the add-on. Quentin Tarantino has created some of the greatest movies and in my opinion Cypher has created some of the best Kodi add-ons. With that being said let’s take a look at how to install this add-on so you can start streaming! Cyphers Quentin Tarantino Homage: Current version of this addon is 1.0 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help.
