Terrarium TV - Movies & TV Shows

Terrarium TV is probably one of the nicest, well written GUI’s of all the current crop of android streaming apps out there. Its a bit awkward on the FireTV devices initially, but I will give you some tips on that later on. If you are used to using Trakt, then you’ll be happy as you can integrate it in Terrarium TV, alongwith with Real Debrid – which to be blunt, transforms this application into a real gem for cord cutters.

Install Terrarium TV on FireTV Devices

Ok FireTV devices present a small extra issue in getting apps loaded, but there are several ways we can do this, ES File Explorer, ADB link, Apps2fire etc. My prefered method is to use the “Downloader app – its right there in the Amazon store – a quick search will pull this up and it installs in seconds.

First lets ensure we can install the apps – If you havent already done so, you must set the follwing to allow other “non Amazon store apps to install” – if you dont do this, you will get various warnings and Terrarium wont install.

Goto Settings,

Device and you will see the following;

Set “ADB debugging” on

Set “Apps from Unknown Sources” on

Back to home screen

Search for and install Downloader

Install Downloader

Enter this EXACTLY http://bit.ly/terrarium-191

Press Play (or enter)

The download will start

Follow the prompt to install when it appears

Terrarium will now be listed on your apps

Terrarium Settings Explained

OK – the basic install is done but Terrarium TV has a bunch of options for setting things up how you want and improving results and so on. Now about the navigation, a quick tip to move easily to the top “bar” – click sideways – till you hit fully left or full right and the cursor will move to the top bar.

Settings (1)

here you might want to Filter non English shows (or not!) depending on what you are looking for.

Filer out CAM versions – YES!

Settings (2)

Parallel sources loading – low spec devices (gen 1 Stick – turn this off

Resolve all links immediately – again, low spec devices – off

Auto resolve HD links – set to your preference, on decent kit ,always on 🙂

Settings (3)

Trakt options are here – set as you like them

Settings (4)

Choose Default navigation – eg. set what the opening screens show; if you watch more TV Shows, than movies – then set to TV Shows

Within T|V Shows – you can set to open your Favourites first (preferable?) or use Most popular or trending etc etc

You can also set the default screen for Movies too – I tend to use New HD releases ( I hate cams!)

Choose synopsis language – choose you preferred language

Use Modern UI – almost always use with movie or tv show posters as opposed to banners (unless you have low spec kit of course)

Settings (5)

Here are a bunch of options to control how things are displayed within a show or season, hiding unaired episodes will tidy things up a little, if you are very fussy.

Settings (6)

Two ESSENTIAL things to have with this app – an ALLUC API key and Real Debrid account!

Settings (7)

….and finally (yes – there are a lot of settings!), here are the backup folders “just in case” something screws up.

Should you have any questions please feel free to visit us on Ares Forum; as it is quite difficult to provide help through the comments section in the blog.

Kodi Dlna Client and Server Setup for Krypton

What is Dlna ? WHAT IS DLNA? The term DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”.
