How to Enable MetalliQ Add-on in Kodi

What is MetalliQ ?


MetalliQ, by OpenELEQ, an amazing and useful Add-on which provides available streams from all your installed add-ons in your system. Providing you with Movies, TV Shows, and Music in the best possible quality. MetalliQ also integrates perfectly with your Trakt account, another tool that everyone must have in their Kodi. If you try to run Metalliq on a fresh Kodi installation, it won’t do anything. Metalliq depends on and works very well with many Video Add-ons for content.

How to Install MetalliQ


You can find the MetalliQ Add-on in the NaN (noobsandnerds) Repo.
  • Open the NaN repo from “Install from Repositories”.

  • Select Video Add-ons.

  • OpenELEQ Tools and Install.

  • After the install notification appears, return to Install from Repositories.

  • Select Q’s Repository.

  • Video add-ons.

  • Select MetalliQ, a list of Kodi versions will appear, select the same version you have installed.


 

 

Configuring MetalliQ


MetalliQ

Unlike other Add-ons, Metalliq requires a little bit of post-installation configuration.  After installation, you’ll need to open up its settings by opening the Context menu.
  • Right click your Mouse

  • Press C on the keyboard

  • Select the Button on the remote with 3 lines.

  • Click Configure.


 

MetalliQ

Select the General Tab and click on TotalSetup.

 

MetalliQ

A prompt will appear asking if you want to remove existing players, Select NO.

 

MetalliQ

You will be returned to the Settings page once again. You will immediately notice a series of Notifications cycling thru in the top right corner. Allow these to finish before proceeding. Should take no more than 20 seconds or so. Click on Configure again to proceed to the next step.

 

Enabling Preferred Players


In addition to enabling your preferred players in MetalliQ, you also have the option to select a different player for each player category. One for Movies, another for TV Shows and a third for Music etc. For this article, we will show how to enable all Add-ons for both Movies and TV Shows.

 

MetalliQMovies:  As a result of clicking Configure, you will return to the Settings page. Highlight Movies then click on Enable movie players as seen in the example above.

 

MetalliQ

Click YES when Prompted.

 



 

MetalliQTV Shows:  Repeat the same process for TV Shows as you did with Movies. Since adding Players for Music, or Live is done the same, I’ll not be showing those steps here.

Changing Preferred Player


 

MetalliQ

If you prefer to enable a single Add-on as the default player, select Preferred movie player. Why would I do that ? For a few reasons, you could have a limited number of Add-ons installed in Kodi and have a favorite you like to use more than others. Or you have a Build installed and instead of enabling all Players, you have one that you like over the others.

It’s more personal choice than anything else. No matter why you decided, once selected, a list will be made available in a new window. Simply find your desired Add-on and click to enable.

 

TMDb Key Code


 

MetalliQ

Since you are in the Settings of MetalliQ and you have a TMDb API key code, this is the right time to enter it. Scroll down to Custom, move the cursor to TMDb API and Click. The Keyboard will appear allowing you to enter your code. Since this is one of the few add-ons that enable you to view what you have typed, this will ensure there are no mistakes.

 

Playing content with MetalliQ


 

 

MetalliQ

 

Viewing  Media content can be done by clicking Open. Where you will see the Options listed above. For this article, Movies was selected.

 

MetalliQ

The next screen will offer different categories to choose from as well as picking from TMDb or from Trakt. Popular (TMDb) was my random selection.

 

MetalliQ

Blade Runner 2049 was selected.

 

MetalliQ

If you have not selected a Preferred Player, this configuration is what you will see. I happened to have 12 add-ons and I selected Placenta.

 

 

MetalliQ

 

The photo above is an example of what occurs once you have decided what add-on. This process is no different than doing a search as you normally would when looking for a Movie/TV Show to stream. The difference is the ability to access TMDb and Trakt links much faster and with a better selection of quality both provide.

MetalliQ

 

IN CONCLUSION


Metalliq’s interface is very simple. The main menu has several different options: movies, TV shows, music, TV channels, playlists and enter search string.  If you click any of the first four menus, it will reach out to the TV Movie Database and pull down a list of content.

Kodi Advanced Settings Pt 2

    This is the second part of The Advanced Settings XML article, in this follow up post I want to cover a few extra items. Skip Loop Filter Package Folder SIze Remote Delay Remote Repeat Specifcally the first is for Amazons Firestick and reduces the overhead on the GPU by removing some “unseen” frames from the video stream. Skip Loop Filter Click Programs Click Easy Advanced Settings Click Edit Settings Click Audio/video playback settings Click Skiploopfilter Click 8 You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file Package Folder Size You’ll hear this a lot “purge packages”; so lets explain, packages are the zips Kodi downloads to install your add-ons. Kodi keeps them in case you want to roll back from an upgrade. However, they mostly just use up storage space. They have no connection to buffering, nor speed, nor performance, another often touted myth! We can remove the need to do this monthly clean up by simply setting a fixed size for the fo...

Project Cypher

This is an add on thats been around for a while, with a mix of content, mostly that I haven’t used to be honest, but its recently started to produce some good live streams with I think makes it worthy of recommending. I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links. The other content such as Lingerie Football and Lingerie Fighting is unique to the add on (AFAIK), plus there plenty of horror under the “dark side” link and Serial Killer content too, should that be your thing.

How to Enable and Configure Trakt.TV in Kodi

What is Trakt.TV “Trakt is a platform that does many things, but primarily keeps track of TV shows and movies you watch. It integrates with your media center or home theater PC to enable scrobbling, so everything is automatic. Some people like to check in from their phone, so we enable that too.” The Trakt add-on for Kodi allows you to automatically scrobble all content you are watching to Trakt.tv. You can keep a comprehensive history of everything you’ve watched. Install and Authorizing Trakt Before using Trakt.TV it must be installed. Many builds have Trakt already installed. If you have such a build, you can skip down to the next portion of this article. Lets begin. Open Kodi and select System> Add-on> Install from repository. Scroll down and Select Kodi Add-on repository> Program Add-ons. The is list lengthy, so scroll to almost the bottom and select Trakt. Click to Install, wait for Add-on enabled notification. Now that Trakt is install...

HEVC Bluray from Entertainment Repo

I have been looking over this for a few hours and I have to say I am impressed on several levels – remember this is a beta release. So whats good? There are movies and tv show boxsets – all the main shows, all HD; most links play – though its not a 1 click addon, this has much more to offer, including choosing 720 or 1080 links. Streams are, for the most part reliable and stable, HD links can get a bit “iffy” to say the least sometimes. There is a 3D section, but few of the links work at this point, sadly. The Big Plus Ok, the really big deal here, is the use of high efficency compression, dont panic, I wont bore you with technical guff i promise – in simple terms you get 1080 films (and tv shows) in a 600 kbps stream – yup, less than 1mbps for a HD movie ! Impressive huh? This will be a real goto addon for those on slow or lower speed connections, those devices that are wifi only, like sticks that just wont play 1080 stuff unless it can see the...

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...
