Important: Before You Go Ahead, Get Secure
Before you go ahead and use Kodi, it is advisable to download a VPN for your Kodi.
A VPN will:
- Keep you safe and secure while you stream away and watch your favorite movies online.
- Circumvent all ISP limitations and let you access unlimited media content.
- Help you avoid warning letters and copyright/infringement notices.
Also, your video stream speed will increase and you’ll definitely want that to enjoy more movies in lesser time. So don’t wait up and download the best Kodi VPN today.
Just follow these brief steps to get secure:
- Signup for IPVanish here and download it.
- Launch the app and get connected to IPVanish server.
- Open Kodi and stream your favorite media like movies and TV shows easily.
Many add-ons on Kodi are blocked by Internet Service Providers to avoid legal notices. Henceforth, I highly recommend using IPVanish. It’ll circumvent all geo-restrictions and you will be able to enjoy all blocked add-ons on Kodi.
Please make sure to install the Kodi update before installing any latest Kodi add-on.
Already running on latest version? Great!
Let’s begin with a brief introduction to F4MTester for you.

F4MTester is a Kodi video-add on that you may find in multiple top Kodi repositories including Ares Repository, Smash, Noobsanderds, SuperRepo, Kodi lsrael and Simply Caz to mention just a few.
The main idea behind f4mtester on Kodi is to decrypt the F4M format files making Live stream on Kodi device better and efficient as per your internet speed and data connectivity.
Now, of course, you may be wondering…
What is this F4M Format?
Let me describe it to you in the simplest way possible.
F4M or Flash Media Manifest files are a little different than your regular stream files. Most of Kodi stream sources use f4m file format for a high-quality stream.
In F4M files, you may find:
- Configuration of multiple bitrates so that different file streams can be generated depending on your internet speed and device specification.
- Different quality of audio and video stored at different locations referenced by F4M file to gather on the go.
- Additional metadata and description of the stream file.
- Built in DRM Security for sensitive content files.
FYI: DRM security means you can’t access the file without proper credentials. (username and password).
F4M Tester is a Kodi add-on that decodes all this information kept within f4m files and provides the best quality stream for your Kodi.
Now let’s get to the installation part.
