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.

Installing Terrarium TV

If you are have a browser on your device you can click here to download terrarium , we will cover the FireTV installs in more detail. IF you are a member of the Ares forum – we also provide links to our members for apps and other useful stuff – join us here Ares-Project.uk

Once this has downloaded simply click the apk link (probably in your downloads folder) to install. Our link is taken from the “Official Devs site” and its not a hacked/cloned or doctored one. Please, please take care with “ad-free” versions – they often have other malware added, its frightening how many we’re finding with added payloads for the unsuspecting users.

This is always worth a read Why you should only download from official sources

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.

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 ...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...

Updating Your Add-ons and Repositories in Kodi

Updating Add-ons / Repositories Updating your list of Add-ons and Repositories is the best way to ensure Kodi is functioning properly. Rather than checking, many newcomers think it’s better to just Uninstall the Add-on/Repo and reinstall it again. Totally unnecessary for many reasons. Consider this, if your vehicle runs out of fuel, would you replace it with another of the same make and model ? Of course not, you would find a way to fill it with fuel and carry on. Therefore, updating the Add-ons/Repos is like refueling your vehicle. This is another topic in our continuing effort to help the newcomers/beginners to the world of Kodi. You can view many more Blogs on a wide assortment of helpful topics here at Ares-Project Blog . Updating Repositories Rather than send an update for a single add-on that may be in a repo, the Dev will send one for the entire repo. It faster, more convenient and above all it saves time. Yet how do you know if your repo is up to date? Here are two exampl...

Utilizing Alluc.ee in Add-ons for Kodi

This article will show you how to take advantage of the benefits of using a Alluc.ee Account in the Kodi Add-ons Elysium, Placenta, Death Streams and Rebirth. These are just some of the many add-ons for Movies and TV Shows available and are quite easy to navigate. What is Alluc.ee? First off, let’s take a look at what Alluc.ee is about. Here is a brief description of Alluc.ee and how you can take advantage of what it has to offer: “Alluc.ee (pronounced: “all-you-see”) is a user-generated link-sharing-website that catalogs links to TV shows, movies, music videos, sport, anime and cartoons. Alluc does not host any content itself. Alluc.ee also does not contain any download links, all are links to streaming video sharing websites. Users provide the links in the right category and they are released to the site after having been checked by the administrators. Video hosting sites that are linked include YouTube, Dailymotion, and Veoh, among others....

Removing Old/ Non-Working Add-ons & Repositories

Removing Old Add-ons/Repositories Removing Add-ons and Repositories that no longer function is a natural progression of our theme directed towards new users to Kodi. As we all know, sometimes an Add-on or a Repository will cease to function for no fault of our own. But what is the best way to remove these? We will provide you the easiest method to remove an individual Add-on as well as the associated Repository. In addition we’ll also show you how to remove any URL Sources in File Manager. Why Removing Add-ons/Repos is Important While it appears the advice concerning repositories is factual and from reliable sources, you may have by mistake installed a Repo/ Add-on that may be malicious or may be using addons that are not from reliable sources.
