Ares Wizard Install Guide (July 14th)

A lot of testing has been going on behind the scenes to bring you a new, improved Ares Wizard. New, bigger, faster servers, rewritten code, new build hosts, new zip hosts, its been complete rebuild for the ground up.

ares wizard home screen

Its important to note that the Ares Wizard can run without its servers (they may go down in the future), but it then loses some of its functions, such as Add on & repository installs, and only 200 builds to choose from; it does retain all its maintenance and tweaking functions in this mode, so still very useful.

———————————————————
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-project.uk for further support.
———————————————————
You can unblock many sources with a smartdns solution, but to use p2p addons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access

Slow Install & Install Errors

The last release exposed a few bugs with how Kodi and Ares interacts, leading to really slow installs, like 15m+ even then it would flag up “log errors”. Well, thats’ all been rewritten and now it installs in seconds you’ll be pleased to hear!

Android Games & Apps

These return in the update too, using their own server to improve the availability, but these are going to be hammered, so expect slow downloads at peak times. if you need help and guidance, there’s a new section on the Ares Forum – Gaming

Multiple Builds – One Device

This is now VERY easy to do, Ares Wizard now includes several version of the Kodi app, installing these will allow you to add a build to each (currently seven available), each will come with Ares Wizard pre-installed to speed up grabbing a build. Just take note – a ot of devices, including many boxes have quite small storage – throwing on 4 or 5 builds will eat up space fast… be careful.

kodi ares wizard zip file

Wait for Add on enabled message (VERY quick now!)

kodi ares wizard enabled

The eagle eyed will have spotted the version number now on the home screen, just under the “D” of Ares WIzard header… the more astute will note that the zip shows .43 – thats because .44 is still beta, but it will update in the next few days…

Just a reminder that you can get support on the Ares Wizard area of the Ares Forum

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was look...
