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.

  • Click Browse Addons

The Rabbit Hole: Kodi Add-on

The Rabbit Hole is a Kodi add-on brought to us by Thundercat and I have to say that I am happy to see Thundercat found a home.  Some of you may remember this developer who was part of the Looking Glass Repo and brought us add-ons like Grub Hub and Blaze.  Guess what!?  Good news those two add-ons have been folded into the Rabbit Hole Add-on.  Once you click on the add-on and open it you will see another menu item called the Rabbit Hole.  After entering The Rabbit Hole you will be greeted with some familiar sections such as movies, tv shows, live tv, radio, and many other sections.  The add-on will become popular quickly to keep reading and install this great add-on.

How to Enable and Configure Trakt.TV in Kodi

What is Trakt.TV “Trakt is a platform that does many things, but primarily keeps track of TV shows and movies you watch. It integrates with your media center or home theater PC to enable scrobbling, so everything is automatic. Some people like to check in from their phone, so we enable that too.” The Trakt add-on for Kodi allows you to automatically scrobble all content you are watching to Trakt.tv.

GenieTv Workouts: Fitness Kodi Add-on

GenieTv Workouts is by far the best workout/fitness add-on I have ever used, tested, or seen and I am very happy to tell you about it.  What makes GenieTv Workouts special and different is the amount of categories.  Not only do you have the typical “Beach Body” and “Insanity” workouts you also can search by Calories Burned, Duration, Trainer, and more.  GenieTv Workouts is a Kodi add-on that allows you to design your workout and not make you feel like your only choice is to go to Insanity… No pun intended.  This add-on is great for the beginner and for the health and fitness conscious individual.  Now that we know it is a great add-on let’s figure out how to install and use it. GenieTv Workouts: Current Version of this add-on is 0.0.1 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XBMC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help.

Xtreme Odyssey: Kodi Add-on

Xtreme Odyssey is another add-on to find a new home when Looking Glass left the scene and luckily for us Loose Cannon found a home with Team Illuminati.  Xtreme Odyssey has a Red Bull Xtreme Sports section.  This add-on is a mixed bag add-on that has Movie and Tv sections as well Live Events, Olympics, Documentaries and more.  The direct links make the add-on very easy to use and the amount of content makes this add-on a winner.  I am happy to see Loose Cannon bring this add-on back and I think you will agree.  The few items I checked were in 1080p quality and loaded seamlessly.  So now that we know you are going to like the add-on let’s go ahead and install it. Xtreme Odyssey: Current version of this addon is 2.7 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help.
