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 router (pita right?). There are a few things you need to know – but lets get this installed and I’ll add some pointers at the end.
Installing HEVC Bluray
This is from the Entertainment repo, so you can add from Ares Wizard, Fusion, Super Repo etc. Get the repo installed and come back here.
- Click System
- Click Add ons
- v14 Click Get Add ons
- v15+ Click Install from repository
- Click Entertainment repo
- Click Video Add ons
- Click HEVC Bluray
- Click Install
- Wait for “add on enabled” notification
Ok you have it installed and can access this via video add ons as usual, however, i have added a couple of extra screens just to show where the super compressed HEVC files seem to be located.
HEVC Bluray Main Screen
- Select Latest 1080p – (720p works too)
- Select a movie – this screen comes up
You will see the “multiup.org” – this is where the HEVC files appear to be – the other llinks do work – but they dont appear to be highly compressed like the HEVC – this is important if you want HD movies in less than a 1mbps stream!
Let me know how you get on; If you need further support – head over to the Ares Forum
