Ares Wizard Not Working? Install the Newest Addons for Kodi

Install the add-ons from Ares Wizard Separately

Ares Wizard has gone through growing pains the past few years. It was once the best Kodi wizard ever, but then they got shut down. If you want to install specific video add-ons that you used from the old Ares Wizard, we recommend using GitHub Browser for the latest video add-ons available for Kodi. Most developers have moved to this decentralized method to avoid being shut down. This process isn’t as easy as the wizard, but we break it down so it’s easy to follow.

However, if you’re not using a VPN, you’re going to have buffering issues and server errors. ISP’s block your IP from being able to access some content. There’s a thousand reasons to be using a VPN 100% of the time you are online. If you’re streaming or downloading you ABSOLUTELY must use a VPN.

Ares Wizard is back, kind of. This time around Ares Wizard is going legit. So that mean no more video add-ons. Which, let’s face it, that was the only reason we used Ares Wizard to begin with. You could install the Ares Wizard Program add-on and with one click and you could have the 20 best video add-ons ready to stream TV shows, movies and live sports in minutes.

Nonetheless, Ares Wizard is back and you can use it for a number of system, cache and buffer settings.
