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.

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.

Fantastic Beasts: Kodi Add-on

Fantastic Beasts is a Kodi add-on that was once part of the Looking Glass Repo and lucky for the community it has found a home in the Team Illuminati Repo. This add-on is focused on animals and documentaries about animals. Documentaries are one of the most sought out sections in all the Kodi Community and this one does a nice job. I think if you love animals and documentaries this add-on is made for you. Fantastic Beasts: Current version of this addon is 1.0.3 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 use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access .

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.
