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

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.

Pron.tv, The New Alternative to Alluc.ee ? Part 2.

Pron.tv What is an API Code and in addition how will Pron.tv enhance my search results in Kodi. First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site. Pron.tv Add-on List As a result of following Part 1 , it was necessary to provide a List of Current Add-ons that have Pron.tv in their list of Scrapers.

How to Install/Use the Alluc.ee Addon in Kodi Krypton

What is the Alluc.ee Addon ? What is the Alluc.ee Addon ? Before we proceed, here’s a brief description of Alluc.ee and where 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 to Alluc include YouTube, Dailymotion, and Veoh, among others.” (quoted from Wiki-Alluc.ee) How to Install Alluc.ee Addon Before we begin you will need an Account from http://accounts.alluc.com . While free to join, this step must be done prior to continuing due to the information needed during the installat...

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was look...
