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 . Click Here Installation on Kodi Jarvis (16) Click SYSTEM > F...

Adding Your Media Files in Kodi Krypton

What Media Files can I view ? The majority of Kodi users are unaware of the flexibility of Kodi and only know it as a method to use 3rd part add-ons. As a result, the Media Files they own or have collected remain unused. Instead of explaining what Kodi or XBMC as it was originally named, is and how it works, please use this link . Media Files such as Movies/Videos, Photographs and Music can be viewed quite easily in Kodi. For this article, the focus will be on Movies/Videos. Types of Supported Media Files. Container formats: AVI, MPEG, WMV, ASF, FLV, MKV/MKA ( Matroska ), QuickTime, MP4, M4A, AAC, NUT, Ogg, OGM, RealMedia RAM/RM/RV/RA/RMVB, 3gp, VIVO, PVA, NUV, NSV, NSA, FLI, FLC, DVR-MS and WTV. Some of these formats may need to be converted. For example, to view MKV files smoothly on  Kodi , the best solution is to transcode MKV files to Kodi best compatible H.264 video codec ...

Your Best Kodi Build: What should I download?

Your Best Build You may be just starting out on your kodi journey, or maybe grabbed a new device, could be an update but everyone has the same question. You are dying to ask the question and the temptation is killing you.  What’s your best build? What should I download? Finding yourself wanting to fit in and have the “best build” is a problem that faces too many.  Anyone who has spent any time in the community knows this is the most asked question. Once this question has been asked it is like a can of worms being opened. Then will follow random comments naming numerous builds all claiming they have the best one. These will be a mixture of what the person commenting uses and builders trying to promote themselves. After all these random people telling you what you should like, you will find yourself no better than  you were to start.  In some cases you could be more confused. I am too familiar with how it feels to be a newcomer to the Kodi World. Free str...

The Unjudged: Multi Section Kodi Add-on

The Unjudged is the newest add-on to be added to Illuminati Repo and it is a mixture of a few add-ons plus so original sections.  As you recently saw we told you about Dothraki & Insomniac and both of these add-ons are no longer available on their own.  The folks at Team Illuminati folded everything into The Unjudged and built a HUGE all in one add-on that rivaled the likes of add-ons like Bob Unleashed & Phoenix.    The difference is this add-on has it all broken out by section instead of developers.  The Unjudged has movies, tv shows, live tv, 24/7 content, news sections, comedy, fitness, and more!  WOW I ran out of breath just trying to tell you about all the awesome content in this add-on.  Oh did I mention Anime, Catch-up Tv (including the Soap Operas), Documentaries, and a kids section.  Of course we cannot forget Trakt Integration, and Debrid integration.  Well that’s enough about how great this add-on is and why don...
