Ezra Kodi addon featured image

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.

    Ezra doesn’t seem to pull in any torrents, only hosters. Am I missing something? Ezra has some great features. I especially like that one can remove one item at a time from the searched list. It would be my first choice when using kodi if I can get torrent links.

    I set up Ezra with RD, Premiumize and Easynews. I am not getting any Easynews streams. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    For some reason whenever I’m watching a movie now (as Of July 20th 2022) it will just close the player and go back to the movie selection. Just gotta click on the movie and resume but it’s annoying when it happens every 20 minutes.

      Version 20 is still in development and the current builds are unstable. Also, Ezra is on feature freeze stage, meaning it’s being maintained but they’re not adding features right now. I’d recommend staying with Kodi 19 for now.
