Archive Logins

Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so)

Android Apps

A few additional apps have been added too, llike Kodi 16.1, SPMC, ESFE, etc and more are planned so keep an eye on this section as more updates will be added as they are tested.

Retro Gaming

I tested this on an Amazon Fire TV (non root) to prove it will work on almost anything, although I am told some games will need root in future updates, so lookout for those if you have a rooted device.

If you don’t have the Ares Wizard you can follow this guide and then follow the rest of this guide.

Pron.tv, The New Alternative to Alluc.ee ? Part 2.

Pron.tv What is an API Code and in addition how will Pron.tv enhance my search results in Kodi. First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site. Pron.tv Add-on List As a result of following Part 1 , it was necessary to provide a List of Current Add-ons that have Pron.tv in their list of Scrapers. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Add-ons with pron.tv while doing my research. I will give a brief descript...

Click Here: Kodi Add-on by SkyDarks

Click Here is one of the newest Fork and it has a very clever name. Invoking you to just “click here” to get all the movies and tv shows you could ever want. This add-on doesn’t have any of the “extras” that some of the other forks have; however, it does work nicely. Click Here has all the sames features you enjoyed in Covenant including the ability to add Trakt and Debrid accounts. I like that the developer Swiper kept it close to the original and just changed up some artwork. Click Here: Current version of this addon is 1.0 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 .

How to Remove the ES Explorer and No Volume Icons

Removing Icons Well here’s another installation of our ongoing effort to help New Users to Kodi. This article will touch on two Icons that may appear once in a while, and when they do, they can be very frustrating to remove. The ES File Explorer and the No Volume Icons while harmless, will drive one to drink if you don’t know the secret to correcting. ES File Explorer Blue Widget Icon What on earth is that blue whatchamacallit and how do I get rid of it ! What is the cause and how to fix it ?

NLView

This is predominantly a Dutch based add-on, however with Awesome streams leaving the scene, the add on has been forked and included within the NLView add on. I found a lot of alternative links here (if you don’t mind foreign commentary) and I suspect they wont get as much hammer at game time, so could be a reliable alternative? You will need to install the Doki repo to get this addon, so lets run through the whole process. ——————————————————— This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XBMC foundation, please do not ask on their forums for help, goto ares-forum.com for further support. ——————————————————— You can unblock many sources with a smartdns solution, but to use p2p addons, torrents, or in countries that prohi...
