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.

terrarium settings hide unaired episodes

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”. It is the industry standard for sharing network data combined with “Universal Plug and Play Audio Visual(UPnP). This option can be used to share your media libraries from one device to another. If you have a PC or Kodi Box for your Tv, you can share its media contents. Other Smart TVs, Game Consoles, Phones, etc. to name a few. It is recommended that you backup Kodi before continuing in case you wish to restore your Kodi settings at a later date. A Kodi UPnP server/media can stream its content to other devices on the same network by using UPnP and DLNA protocols. HOW TO ENABLE DLNA ON KODI? For this article, I used a clean version of Krypton 17.6. If you are using a Build, this is typically found by selecting System, then System again. Lets begin: After opening Kodi, select the Cog Icon found in the top left corner. Then Select Service Settings top row far right in Systems as shown in the ph

Using TMDb and Alluc API Codes in Kodi Add-ons

Using TMDb / Alluc Codes Together Before explaining how to link your TMDb api code with Alluc code, why does anyone need the code ? When the Add-on Elysium became the “go to” add-on as an alternative to Covenant, the Devs added the api Code. Consequently TMDb began cancelling each new api code generated by the Developers as it was viewed as “abuse of the code”. As a result the Developers spent more time generating a new code instead of improving the add-on itself. The Solution was to allow each user to generate their own personal IMDb Api code and enter it themselves. Generating your own TMDb Code While other groups were providing a solution, Ares Project Forum had taken it a step further by providing a Blog that gave a more detailed method that others had missed. In addition to generating a TMDb code, you will also need a Alluc code. This can be found by following this link . Add-ons Currently Utilizing both Codes The above list will be updated as each new Add-on allows the use of

How to enable Inputstream Adaptive in Kodi Krypton

What is Inputstream Adaptive The recent update release from Kodi on the Krypton 17.3 has failed to enable a feature called InputStream Adaptive. So what you say ! What does it do ? How do I use it ? Well here’s a quick explanation of what InputStream Adaptive does : This package is required to allow add-ons like the Youtube to work properly in Krypton 17 . Therefore allowing the add-on to support 1080p resolutions and up and solve some issues with mpeg-dash videos. The following steps can be used in Krypton 17.3 as well as any Krypton Forks Nodi, MyGica Media and SPMC v17.4-alpha 10.

Project Cypher

This is an add on thats been around for a while, with a mix of content, mostly that I haven’t used to be honest, but its recently started to produce some good live streams with I think makes it worthy of recommending. I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links. The other content such as Lingerie Football and Lingerie Fighting is unique to the add on (AFAIK), plus there plenty of horror under the “dark side” link and Serial Killer content too, should that be your thing.
