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.
