The complete guide to Ezra on Kodi [May 2022]

Ezra is a new Kodi add-on that allows us to stream movies and TV shows using premium sources, specially Easynews and Furk, but it can also be used with services like Real Debrid, Premiumize, and All Debrid.

Based on FEN, Ezra offers a nice user interface, fast menu navigation and all the other great features from its predecessor like Trakt support, file downloads, and subtitles. It also has its own favorites list, a Discover section to create lists using filters, and a context menu with many useful options.

In this guide, we’re going to install Ezra on Kodi. Let’s get started!

1. Ezra Overview

We’re almost done! Ezra is installed on Kodi but we still need to set up a Debrid account or the add-on won’t find any sources.

3. Using Real Debrid with Ezra

Ezra requires a premium account to function properly. It works natively with Easynews and Furk, but it can also use other services like Real Debrid, Premiumize, or All Debrid with its external module called EzraScrapers.

File hosting sites often limit file availability and bandwidth for free users. Using premium accounts gives you unrestricted access to several file hosters and cached torrents, it can greatly improve the quality and quantity of available sources.

In this example, we’ll use Real Debrid. A popular service to get unrestricted access to various file hosters and cached torrents for a very low price.

Before starting, log into your Real Debrid account using a web browser, then follow these steps.

1. Open Ezra and select Settings.

2. Press Settings: Ezra.

3. Scroll down to the Provider Accounts tab and press Open My Accounts.

4. Now select the Debrid Accounts tab and press Authorize.

5. Copy the authorization code.

6. Use a web browser to visit https://real-debrid.com/device/ and enter the authorization code. (You must be logged in with your Real Debrid account).

7. Enter Ezra and press Set that name.

8. Back in Kodi, you should now see your username on the Real Debrid section. Press OK to continue.

The Ezra add-on and My Accounts module will synchronize their settings.

9. Press OK to close the setting menu.

All done! You’re now ready to use Ezra.

Navigate the add-on’s main menu to select a movie or TV show. Once you’ve made your choice, Ezra will show a selectable list of available sources.

10. Select a source to start playing the video.

Ezra features subtitles downloads, but if you need more control over the subtitles’ selection process, please read How to enable subtitles on Kodi.

If you get the “No external scrapers enabled” error after authorizing your Debrid account, you’ll have to re-synchronize the settings between Ezra and My Accounts. Open the add-on and select Settings > Settings: Ezra > scroll down to the Provider Accounts tab > and press (Re)Sync Ezra Settings with My Accounts.
