The complete guide to Ezra on Kodi [Dec 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

2. How to install Ezra on Kodi

If this is your first time installing add-ons on Kodi, you’ll have to allow the installation of unofficial add-ons. Please read How to allow 3rd-party add-ons on Kodi and come back here when you’re ready.

2. Select File Manager.

3. Press Add Source.

4. Enter https://ezra-hubbard.github.io/ in the top box and ezra on the bottom one. Press OK to add the source.

Now that we added the link, let’s use it to install the repository.

5. Go back to the Settings menu and this time select Add-ons.

6. Click on Install from zip file.

You’ll see a message about the auto-update feature, press Yes to continue.

15. Go back to the Home Screen, you should now see a shortcut to Ezra on the Add-ons tab.

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.

In this example, we’ll use Real Debrid. A popular service that grants you unrestricted access to various file hosting websites and cached torrents for a very low price.

We will open My Accounts through Ezra to make sure settings are synchronized automatically between both add-ons. If you open My Accounts directly, you’ll have to sync Ezra and My Accounts manually.

1. Open Ezra and select Settings.

2. Press Settings: Ezra.

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

My Accounts settings window will open.

4. Now select the Debrid Accounts tab and press Authorize under Real-Debrid.

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 close My Account’s settings window.

Ezra and My Accounts will synchronize their settings.

9. Back in Ezra’s settings window, press OK to save the settings.

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

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.

To use subtitles with Ezra, 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 Ezra and select Settings > Settings: Ezra > scroll down to the Provider Accounts tab > and press (Re)Sync Ezra Settings with My Accounts.

4. Additional Settings

Let’s take a look at some popular features on Ezra. These steps are optional, but they can improve your user experience.

4.1. Using Trakt with Ezra

Trakt.tv is a free service that helps you organize and keep track of your favorite movies and shows. Using a Trakt account is optional, but it is very helpful if you want to sync your watched status across devices.

Ezra can integrate with your Trakt account giving you access to your Collection, lists, and bookmarks.

Once again, we’re going to open My Accounts trough Ezra to make sure the settings are synchronized between the two add-ons.

1. Open Ezra and select Settings.

2. Press Settings: Ezra.

3. Select the Meta Accounts tab and press Please visit My Accounts to change settings under the Trakt section.

My Accounts settings window will open.

4. Make sure the Trakt tab is selected and press Authorization…

5. Copy the authorization code.

6. Visit https://trakt.tv/activate on your web browser and enter the authorization code. (You must be logged into your Trakt account)

7. Press Yes to link Ezra with your Trakt account.

8. You should now see your account under Trakt. Press OK to close My Account settings window.

Ezra and My Accounts will synchronize their settings.

9. Back in Ezra’s settings window, you’ll also see your username under the Trakt section. Press OK to save the settings.

You can now use your Trakt account with Ezra.

Go to My Lists on the add-on’s main menu to access your collection, watchlist, and other lists. Other Trakt options are available inside the Movies and TV Shows categories such as In Progress, Watched, and Next Episodes.

4.2. Autoplay content

By default, Ezra shows a selectable list of sources before playing a video. We can override this behavior and make the add-on select a source automatically.

1. Open Ezra’s settings, scroll down to the Playback tab, and enable Auto Play under the Movies and Episodes sections. Press OK to save the settings.
