The Wraith Kodi addon from Blamo creates a premium interface for movies and TV that offers you plot, cast, genre, trailer, pictures, and more extended information. Paired with Chappa’ai, Wraith gives you the nicest addon in Kodi. Read more details below.
May 23rd: The Wraith Kodi addon has been updated to v.9.0.3 with some nice changes and bug fixes. Check out the change log below and also a full description of what the addon is and how to configure it in Kodi:
- Fixed loading hang

The Wraith Kodi addon is a mod of the extended info Kodi module, which conveniently loads movie and TV metadata from the internet. Many Kodi skins use this information to popular your screen with movie posters, trailers, plot, pictures, background, and more. Blamo has added Chappa’ai functionality into the new Wraith Kodi addon, which is awesome!

Extended Info Mod Overwritten By Wraith
Be aware that Wraith will overwrite the Extended Info mod (EIM), which is what Wraith is based off of. Q, the developer of EIM, has walked away from the Kodi community and Blamo has continued on development of the addon. If you are reading this because you had EIM previous and are unsure about Wraith, there is nothing to worry about. Wraith is a fixed and updated version of EIM.
EIM is tightly integrated into multiple different Kodi skins already, which will now auto-update to Wraith as long as Blamo’s repository if installed.

How to Use the Wraith Kodi Addon
Not quite sure how this all fits together? Let us explain with pictures!
When you install the Wraith Kodi addon, Chappa’ai will also be installed. Chappa’ai is a middle-man that calls on all of the addons you have installed to play a stream. It allows you to quickly query all of your addons within one interface without having to enter each addon individually.
When Wraith launches, you’ll be presented with a menu of different movie and TV playlists. These playlists are pulled from other websites.
After selecting a playlist, you’ll be presented with the metadata of tons of movies and content
.
Clicking on a title will bring up a nice page with metadata on the movie such as rating, release date, budget, plot, poster, and more.
My screenshot below is how the Wraith Kodi plugin looks on the default Estuary Kodi skin. It doesn’t look the greatest, but the functionality is still there. Custom Kodi skins will do a better job of displaying this content. If you have a skin that makes Wraith look really nice, comment below and we will feature it!
The main functionality of Wraith is the row of icons underneath the plot. Note that depending on what device you run Kodi on and what skin you are using, the look of the menu below might look a little different.
On Mac OS in the screenshot below, the icons don’t seem to appear fully and there are three “Play” buttons which can be a little confusing. Using the same skin on Android (Estuary), the row of icons appeared properly.
What you want to do is click on the Play Button (it might also be labelled Chappa’ai). This will send a request to Chappa’ai. Chappa’ai, in turn, sends a request to the addons you have installed. These addons send a search query that matches the title.
With the Wraith Kodi addon, you can use this as your interface into streaming within Kodi. it is essentially a sub-skin within your Kodi install!

Wraith Kodi Installation Failed – Failed to Install Dependency
If you get an installation failed error when trying to install the Wraith Kodi addon or the “failed to install dependency” error, it means that one of the modules that Wraith needs cannot be installed.
From testing, it appears that this happens most often for Chappa’ai and Super Favourites. To get around this issue, install these addons before you install Wraith.
Click here to install the Chappa’ai addon (link will open in a new tab)
Click here to install the Super Favourites addon (link will open in a new tab)
After these are installed, retry the Wraith Kodi installation above.
