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.


  • Start Ares Wizard

  • Click Browse Addons

Ares Wizard - android apps


  • Click Android Apps

The install process for games is the same – install the emulator then the ROM pack. The others apps are simpler – but each app requires you to authorise on your device.


  • Click Genesis Emulator – (the download dialogue will come up)

Follow the same 2 stage process for the SNES and any other game packs that are added in forthcoming updates… You WILL need a game controller to play these games and they may need configuring using the EMU options included.

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...

Vidtime

Vidtime has grown over recent weeks following the split of the former Phoenix crew, however, the content here is as good as ever from Woody & Co. You will need to have Fusion Repo as a source installed, if you dont have it follow this guide to install that repo. Now we need to install Vinmans repo from Fusion – dont get sucked into “install from repo” with fusion as its more of a zip host than a full repo (though they do have their own repo). Lets run through this. Install Vinman Repo Click System Click Add ons Click Install from zip file Click Fusion (or whatever you called it previously) Click xbmc-repos Click English Click VinManJSVx.x.zip   Wait for “repo enabled” message Click Install from repository Click VinmanJSV repo Click Video Add ons Click Vidtime Wait for “add on enabled” message Vidtime Content You will need to sign up (free) for USTV Now (use a your spare email account you save for stuff like this) but this will unblo...

NJM Soccer

NJM Soccer, recently had to swap server with some help from the Ares team, hes back online! Take note, it takes a lot of time to rebuild all the links, so not everything is there as it was, but hes working hard to get it all back. Keep in touch with NJM via twitter – say thanks now and again, it goes a long way @njmsoccer NB: Prior to installation its advised to completely uninstall the old version, clear packages and restart Kodi – just want to ensure that Kodi doesn’t drag back any out of date info. Installing NJM Soccer NJM can be found in his original repo or in this guide we’ll use the Ares Projects repo, so lets get started; Start Kodi Highlight System and Select File Manager Double Click Add Source Enter this EXACTLY http://repo.ares-project.com/magic/ Click Done Change Name of Source to Ares Project Click Done Back to Kodi Home Screen Click System Click Add ons Click Install from Zip FIle Click Ares Project Source (or whatever you called it) Click rep...

Timber Wolf: Movie Kodi Add-on

Timber Wolf is another movie add-on brought to use by the developer “Dee” and is found in the Juggernaut Repo.  This add-on is mostly focused on Movies but does have a tv section and a kids section as well.  This add-on is definitely heavily focused on the movies though yet if you click on Tv it will bring you to a ton of sub-categories to choose from.  I am not sure if Dee plans on cleaning up the movies and bringing them under the umbrella of Movies like he did for Tv but time will tell.  Either way there is a ton of content available to the viewers. Timber Wolf.: Current version of this addon is 1.4 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 ...

How to Disable/Enable Debug Logging in Krypton

Debug Logging in Kodi Krypton What is the debug log? A debug log can record database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. Debug logs can contain information about: Database changes. HTTP callouts. Apex errors.  “Sometimes you might be asked to enable additional  debug logging “components”, which is an option in this same Settings/System/ Debugging  area. If you were not asked to enable anything extra, then don’t worry about those additional settings. Restart  Kodi : so that the  log  file records important startup information.” (excerpt from kodi wiki) Kodi-Wiki Log file . Disabling Debug Logging Occasionally a new user will start Kodi for the first time after purchasing a “loaded” Android Box and encounter some very odd looking numbers at the top of their screen ! “Is my Kodi Broken?”. No this is not a scene fro...
