Terrarium TV Kodi Build – How to Install on Kodi, Quick and Easy

Terrarium TV is a popular app for Android TV and other platforms which lets you watch all of the TV shows that you could want. Like Netflix, it shows you tons of new and popular shows and lets you browse by category to find the show that you want to watch. But unlike Netflix, it’s all available for free. Some people like to use Terrarium TV as an alternative to Kodi, but others want to keep using Kodi but have the Terrarium TV user experience. This is what is available with the Terrarium TV Kodi Build, which is a build that will make your Kodi system look and function like Terrarium TV.

If you can’t install the Terrarium TV app on your particular device, or if you want to keep the flexibility of Kodi, then you can try out this build to see if you enjoy the Terrarium TV experience. Below we’ll explain how to install the Terrarium TV Build for Kodi then show you how to use it to find and watch your favourite TV shows and more.

Build Users Need A VPN

Just before we get to the details of installing the build, we need to mention an issue of security. The Terrarium TV Build and other builds like it come pre-configured with a bunch of add-ons that allow you to watch copyrighted content like movies and TV shows for free. This may be against copyright law in your country and if you are caught using a build to stream copyrighted content, you could face legal repercussions like a fine, being kicked off your ISP’s network, of even being prosecuted for copyright infringement.

To prevent this from happening to you, it’s vitally important that you get a VPN if you’re going to be using Kodi builds. A VPN works by installing software on the same device that is running Kodi which encrypts all of the data that you send over the internet. This encryption means that no one can see what sites you are visiting or whether you have been streaming or downloading content. Even your ISP won’t be able to see what you have been doing online. This keeps you safe from potential legal issues when you use a Kodi build like the Terrarium TV Build.

We Recommend IPVanish

When it comes to Kodi users, the VPN that we recommend is IPVanish. This service offers super fast connections which are perfect for streaming high definition video, so you won’t have to put up with annoying buffering. The security offered is excellent, with the use of 256-bit encryption and a no logging policy to keep you both safe and anonymous. There are tones of servers to chose from, with a network of more than 1000 servers in over 60 different countries so you’ll always be able to find a server never you, and the software is available for Windows, Mac OS, Android, Linux, iOS, and Windows Phone.

IPVanish offers a 7-day money back guarantee which means you have a week to test it risk-free. Please note that Addictive Tips readers can save a massive 60% here on the IPVanish annual plan, taking the monthly price down to only $4.87/mo.

What Is The Terrarium TV Build For Kodi?

A build for Kodi is a pre-configured bundle of settings, add-ons, and skins. Typically a build will come with its own unique skin to give it a distinctive look, and have settings adjusted to best meet the needs of the build. The biggest difference you’ll see after installing a new build – other than the new look and feel of Kodi – is all the extra add-ons that it comes bundled with. The idea is that instead of having to install multiple different add-ons to get all the features that you want, you can just install the one build and everything you need is already ready to use.

In the case of the Terrarium TV Build, the aim is to turn your Kodi system into a ready to watch TV box, with all the features that you enjoy from Terrarium TV now incorporated into Kodi. As you can guess from the name, the emphasis is on watching TV shows, though there are also lots of ways to watch movies included in the build too. The Terrarium TV Build features lots of shows available on the title screen, including recently added and popular shows. If you like to check out lots of new shows and you’re an avid user of Netflix, Hulu, or other TV streaming service then you will likely enjoy the Terrarium TV Build. It’s important to note that the build does not actually install or host any files of the TV shows that are available to watch – it only provides an attractive interface with links to watch the shows on other sites.

One important thing to remember is that installing a new build on your Kodi system will entirely wipe your current settings and installing all new add-ons, skins, and settings. If you want to try the Terrarium TV Build but you’re not sure if you want to keep it, then it’s important to perform a backup before installing the build. This way, if you want to switch back from the Terrarium TV Build then you can restore back to your old Kodi settings.

How To Use Terrarium TV Build For Kodi

When you first open the Terrarium TB Build, you’ll notice that there is a lot going on on the home screen. The main part of the screen on the right shows a selection of shows that are currently available to watch and which are new or popular, from fantasy shows like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead to sci fi like Blindspot and Mr. Robot to historical dramas like Peaky Blinders or Vikings. To watch any show, you just click on the thumbnail and select a season of the show. Then you’ll see a list of episodes, and you can select any episode to start watching a stream.

At the top of the screen are icons for searching (looks like a magnifying glass), favourites (looks like a star), and filtering (looks like three horizontal lines). In the very top right you’ll see update information like when your TV shows are being scanned so they can be matched to information from TVDB. This is how Kodi knows to show you the synopsis, title, and thumbnail for each episode.

To the left of the screen is the menu. When you press left, the menu will slide out from the left hand side. Confusingly, there are sometimes two levels of the menu on the left, so you may need to press the left button twice to find the option you are looking for. As the build is focused around TV shows, the first item in the menu is TV shows and if you press left again, in the left hand menu you’ll find options for sorting the available shows like Trending, New Shows, Premiers, Airing Today, Most Popular, Top Rated, and lists of shows that you can import from Netflix or Amazon. There are also genres of show available for browsing like Anime or Action.

Other menus are available from the main screen like Movies to browse and watch movies, or Search to perform a global search of all of your content. There is also an option for Trakt which allows you to integrate the build with your Trakt account. Trakt is a service which records which episodes you have watched of which shows, and which lets you rate your favourite episodes and shows. This makes Trakt a great way to get recommendations, as you can find recommendations from people who like similar shows and episodes to you.

Down a bit further in the main menu is Favorites, which lets you access your built in Kodi favourite items. There is also a TV Calendar so you can see when new episodes are coming out, and a Paid IPTV option if you use that service. Below are more options for App menu, which shows you your Kodi add-ons, and Settings, where you can adjust settings like profiles, screen resolution, player settings, and system information. If you ever want to get rid of the Terrarium TV Build, you can use the Fresh Start option at the bottom. This will uninstall the entire build and all your add-ons and reset Kodi to its defaults.

Conclusion

The Terrarium TV Build for Kodi is something that fans of the Terrarium TV app are sure to love. The build has the same smart grey and green colour scheme of the Terrarium app and lots of the same great content. The biggest advantage of the Terrarium TV Build is that it makes it really easy to discover and try new shows, so if you’re someone who likes to watch a lot of new TV then you’ll enjoy this. As with the Terrarium TV app and other Kodi add-ons, the content is not actually hosted by the build. So when you click on a TV show episode to watch, you are essentially clicking on a link to view a video which is hosted at another site. This means that, like the app and other Kodi add-ons, the quality of the episodes that is available will vary greatly. Newer and very popular shows are likely to have high quality, high definition versions of episodes in 720p or even 1080p. Older and less popular shows are more likely to be available in 520 or 480 resolutions. If this level of quality is okay for you, then the content will be sure to please.

The Terrarium TV Build for Kodi can be a little more complicated to use than simple Kodi add-ons, because there are so many options available. Just remember that sometimes you’ll need to press left twice to bring up the menu that you want. Once you’ve learned your way around the build, you’ll find that it has all the key features of Kodi, like profiles, system information, and options to adjust the playback of media. You just need to get used to everything being in a different place than it is on most Kodi skins.
