Key Takeaway: There is no standalone EZTV addon in the Stremio catalogue, and any guide handing you an “official EZTV manifest URL” has invented it. EZTV reaches Stremio through three genuine routes: the EZTV provider inside Torrentio, the small Ytztvio wrapper, or the TorrentsDB fork. I tested all three on real hardware.
EZTV has been the default home for television torrents for well over a decade, so it is no surprise people go looking for it inside Stremio. The confusion comes from how it is actually delivered, which is not as a dedicated addon.
I set up all three routes on a Fire TV Stick 4K Max and a Google TV Streamer, then loaded the same twelve series across them to see which returned the most usable episodes. One route was clearly better, and it is not the one most guides recommend.
Is There an Official EZTV Stremio Addon?
No, and this is the single most important thing to understand before you start. Searching the Stremio addon catalogue for EZTV returns nothing, because no dedicated addon under that name has ever been published there.
- Nothing In The Catalogue: a search of the community addon directory on 21 July 2026 returned no standalone EZTV entry of any kind whatsoever.
- It Is A Provider: EZTV exists inside other addons as one selectable source among many, rather than as a separate installable addon in its own right.
- Fake Manifests Circulate: guides offering a direct EZTV install link are pointing at URLs that either fail outright or belong to something else entirely.
- Three Real Routes: Torrentio, the Ytztvio wrapper, and TorrentsDB are the genuine ways to get EZTV results into your Stremio stream list.
- It Is Still Active: EZTV itself continues operating and the Ytztvio project points at its current domain, so the source has not gone away.
How EZTV Actually Reaches Stremio in 2026
Each of the three routes works differently, and the differences matter for reliability. Two of them treat EZTV as one source among dozens; the third queries it directly and nothing else.
- Torrentio Route: EZTV appears as a tickable provider in Torrentio’s configuration page, sitting alongside YTS, 1337x, ThePirateBay, and roughly twenty others.
- Ytztvio Route: this small wrapper queries only the YTS and EZTV APIs directly, returning movies from one and television episodes from the other.
- TorrentsDB Route: the Torrentio fork carries EZTV among its expanded provider list and runs on independent infrastructure with its own growing cache.
- Episode Level Matching: Ytztvio queries EZTV by IMDb identifier plus season and episode number, which is why its matching is precise on standard series.
- Breadth Versus Focus: the multi-provider routes find more overall, while the dedicated wrapper returns a shorter but cleaner list of television results.
What You Need Before Setting Up EZTV
None of these routes require paid software, but two of them work considerably better with a debrid account attached. Get these pieces in place before you begin configuring anything.
- A Stremio Account: addons sync to your account rather than the device, so sign in first or you will repeat the setup on every device.
- Stremio Installed Properly: our Firestick installation guide covers the sideloading steps in full if the app is not already running.
- A Debrid Account: optional but strongly recommended, since television episodes on older seasons frequently have too few seeders to stream directly.
- A Browser To Hand: all three routes are configured on a web page rather than inside Stremio, so a phone or laptop makes this far easier.
- A VPN If Peer-To-Peer: without debrid your address is visible to the swarm, which matters more with television because you stream episode after episode.
Method 1: Enabling EZTV Inside Torrentio
This is the route most people should take, because it gives you EZTV alongside every other major source in one addon. The configuration page is where all the work happens.
- Open The Config Page: go to Torrentio’s configuration page in a browser instead of installing the plain entry from the Stremio addon catalogue.
- Leave Providers Broad: EZTV is enabled by default alongside the others, and narrowing the list is the fastest way to end up with empty results.
- Attach Your Debrid Key: paste your Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or TorBox API key into the form before generating the personalised install link.
- Install The Generated Link: only the configured manifest carries your provider choices and debrid credentials across into Stremio, so use that one.
- Watch The Health: Torrentio logged thirty-one problem reports in the day I checked, so keep a second addon installed as a fallback.
Method 2: Installing the Ytztvio Wrapper
Ytztvio is the closest thing to a dedicated EZTV addon that genuinely exists. It is a small open project that wraps the YTS and EZTV APIs and nothing else.
- Purpose Built Wrapper: it fetches movie torrents from YTS and television torrents from EZTV, which is exactly the pairing most people are looking for.
- Queries By Identifier: television requests are made using the IMDb identifier along with the season and episode number, giving precise episode-level matching.
- Self Hosting Supported: the project ships Docker images and compose files, so you can run your own instance rather than depending on a public one.
- Configurable Endpoints: the EZTV and YTS API addresses are environment variables, meaning the project can be repointed if either source changes domain.
- Smallest Install Base: with sixty-nine catalogued installs it is by far the least used option here, so expect less community support available.
Getting EZTV Episodes to Match Correctly
Television is far more prone to matching problems than film, and EZTV is no exception. Most complaints about missing episodes come down to how a series has been catalogued.
- Season Numbering Differs: long-running and anime series are frequently split differently by trackers, so an episode may sit under another season entirely.
- Check For Duplicates: Stremio often holds two catalogue entries for the same series, and the second one regularly returns a full episode list.
- Absolute Numbering Issues: some releases number episodes continuously across every season, which breaks matching against the standard season and episode identifiers.
- Recent Episodes Lag: an episode broadcast within the last few hours may not be indexed yet, so waiting rather than reconfiguring is the fix.
- My Worst Offender: I lost half an hour to a series that had been split into two catalogue entries with different season numbering entirely.
EZTV Streams Not Appearing? Common Fixes
When the episode list comes back empty, the fault is nearly always configuration rather than the source. These are the checks that resolved it during my own testing.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No episodes on any series | Unconfigured manifest installed | Rebuild from the configuration page |
| Some episodes missing | Season numbering mismatch | Try the duplicate catalogue entry |
| Results appear, none play | Debrid key dead or expired | Recheck the debrid dashboard |
| Everything empty tonight | Rate limiting under load | Retry off-peak or switch addon |
| Newest episode absent | Not yet indexed | Wait a few hours and retry |
- Confirm The Provider: reopen the configuration page and check EZTV is actually ticked, because a narrowed provider list is the most common cause.
- Rebuild The Manifest: if you installed the plain addon rather than the configured link, your provider and debrid settings were never applied.
- Test A Popular Series: load something widely watched from a few years back, since a niche or brand-new series may genuinely have no sources.
- Check Your Debrid: an expired subscription or regenerated API token stops links resolving, and most addons report that simply as no results.
- Try Another Route: if Torrentio comes back empty, TorrentsDB carries the same provider on separate servers and often answers when Torrentio does not.
Do You Need Real-Debrid for EZTV Streams?
Television makes the case for debrid more strongly than film does, because you are streaming many episodes in sequence and older seasons age badly in terms of seeders.
- Older Seasons Struggle: a series from several years ago often has single-figure seeder counts per episode, which stalls peer-to-peer playback constantly.
- Cached Playback Is Instant: a debrid service holds copies on its own servers, so each episode starts immediately rather than waiting on peers.
- Binge Watching Benefits Most: the difference between debrid and peer-to-peer compounds across an evening, which is where the subscription pays for itself.
- Costs Stay Low: plans start around three euros monthly, and our debrid services comparison covers every major provider in detail.
- It Also Hides You: because the debrid server handles the torrent traffic, your own address never joins the swarm at any point.
Is Using EZTV Through Stremio Legal and Safe?
This deserves a straight answer rather than a disclaimer. The addons themselves are legal software; what you stream through them is where the legal position actually turns.
- Addons Are Neutral Tools: Torrentio, Ytztvio, and TorrentsDB index links rather than hosting content, which is not itself an unlawful activity.
- Content Status Varies: most material indexed on EZTV is copyrighted television distributed without permission, and streaming it carries real legal risk.
- Peer-To-Peer Exposes You: without debrid you upload while you watch, which is the activity rights holders most commonly act against in practice.
- Fake Domains Exist: EZTV has attracted many impostor mirrors over the years, so verify any domain before entering details or downloading anything.
- Legal Options Exist: licensed free services cover a surprising amount of television, and pairing one with your setup reduces how often this matters.
How I Tested Each EZTV Route
Rather than assuming the routes were equivalent, I ran all three side by side on identical hardware so the differences in coverage and matching would show up clearly.
- Three Routes Compared: Torrentio with EZTV enabled, the Ytztvio wrapper, and TorrentsDB were each installed and queried against the same series list.
- Twelve Series Sample: the test set mixed current broadcasts, completed long-running shows, older back-catalogue seasons, and two anime titles with irregular numbering.
- Two Devices Each: everything ran on a Fire TV Stick 4K Max and a Google TV Streamer to confirm results held on lower-powered hardware.
- With And Without Debrid: each route was tested twice, once with Real-Debrid connected and once peer-to-peer, to isolate what the source itself delivers.
- Catalogue Data Checked: install counts, versions, and problem reports were read from the community addon directory on 21 July 2026 rather than recalled.
Best EZTV Alternatives for Television in Stremio
If EZTV alone is not covering your series, these three addons all returned television results reliably during testing and each one carries far more than a single source behind it.
1) TorrentsDB
TorrentsDB is a direct fork of Torrentio, which makes it the most natural landing spot if you liked how Torrentio behaved and simply want it to work. The developer has added providers on top of the original list and built a cache that has grown quickly since the project launched in mid-2025. Because the interface and result formatting are inherited, there is essentially nothing new to learn. I switched a Google TV Streamer over to it during testing and the results looked so similar that I had to check the addon list to confirm which one was answering. Its manifest was reachable with zero problem reports on 21 July 2026. For most people leaving Torrentio, this is the shortest possible move: install it, paste the same debrid key, and carry on exactly as before.
Features:
- Familiar Torrentio Layout: results are formatted almost identically to the original addon, so the switch requires no adjustment to how you pick streams.
- Expanded Provider List: the fork adds sources on top of Torrentio’s original set, including YTS, EZTV, and 1337x among many others.
- Fast Growing Cache: the project maintains its own cache layer that has expanded steadily since launch, improving how often results resolve instantly.
- Broad Debrid Support: Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, TorBox, EasyDebrid, DebridLink, Premiumize, Offcloud, and Put.io all connect without any extra configuration steps needed.
- Clean Health Record: the community catalogue logged zero problem reports across the very same day that Torrentio accumulated thirty-one separate complaints.
- Independent Infrastructure: the fork runs on its own separate servers, so whatever congestion affects Torrentio has no bearing on whether this responds.
- I Swapped Mid-Episode: I installed it while a Torrentio stream was failing and had the same episode playing again within two minutes.
| Pros | Cons |
| Nearest thing to Torrentio itself | Younger project with shorter track record |
| More providers than the original | Smaller install base than Comet |
| Zero reported problems in 24 hours | Documentation is minimal |
| Wide debrid compatibility | Still version 1.0.0 |
Pricing: Free to install and use, with no subscription or account of its own. Full functionality assumes a separate debrid subscription, which starts at roughly €3/month with AllDebrid (checked 21 July 2026).

2) MediaFusion
MediaFusion is the broadest addon on this list, and it is the one I keep for anything that is not mainstream English-language content. Alongside standard torrent and debrid streaming it carries Bollywood, Asian drama, live TV, and direct HTTP streams, with catalogues in Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. That range makes it a genuine complement to Torrentio rather than a like-for-like replacement. Version 6.0.1 was refreshed on 18 July 2026, three days before I checked, and the ElfHosted instance carried zero problem reports. Reasonable rate limits apply to the public instance, which is a fair trade for something offered free. If your watching is limited to Hollywood films, this is more addon than you need; if it is not, nothing else comes close on breadth.
Features:
- Widest Content Range: torrents, debrid, live TV, and direct HTTP streams sit in one addon, covering ground that most torrent-only options simply ignore.
- Strong Indian Catalogue: Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada titles are indexed properly rather than appearing as poorly labelled dubs buried in results.
- Most Recent Update: version 6.0.1 landed on 18 July 2026, making it the most actively maintained addon anywhere in this comparison.
- Multiple Hosted Instances: three public instances are listed, giving you somewhere to fall back to when the default one is under heavy load.
- Contactable Operator: ElfHosted publishes a real abuse contact address, which is unusual in this space and a meaningful signal of accountability.
- Optional Self Hosting: the project can be deployed on your own hardware if you would rather not depend on a shared public instance.
- I Use It For Sport: I keep MediaFusion installed specifically for its live TV catalogue, which nothing else on this list matches.
| Pros | Cons |
| Covers far more than torrents | Interface is busier than rivals |
| Excellent multilingual catalogues | Rate limits on the public instance |
| Updated within the last week | More configuration options to learn |
| Named abuse contact published | Overkill for simple movie streaming |
Pricing: Free to install and use on the public ElfHosted instance. A private ElfHosted instance is $9/month and the addon bundle is $29/month (checked 21 July 2026). Debrid billed separately.

3) AIOStreams
AIOStreams solves a different problem to everything else here: rather than being another source, it consolidates the addons and debrid services you already use into one configurable layer. That means a single result list with your own filtering, sorting, and formatting rules applied across every source at once. The feature that matters most for people locked out of Torrentio is stream proxying, which routes playback through MediaFlow Proxy or StremThru and works around the IP restrictions that break debrid on shared connections. I found the setup page genuinely dense, but once configured it is the most powerful option in this comparison by some distance. Treat it as a weekend project rather than a five-minute fix, and it will outlast every other addon on this list.
Features:
- Consolidates Everything: multiple addons and debrid services are merged behind one manifest, so you manage a single entry instead of six competing ones.
- Custom Filtering Rules: results can be filtered, sorted, and formatted to your own specification, which no other addon in this list offers.
- Built In Proxying: streams can route through MediaFlow Proxy or StremThru, bypassing the IP restrictions that break debrid playback on shared connections.
- Seven Public Instances: the catalogue lists seven hosted instances, giving it more redundancy than any other addon covered in this guide.
- Usenet Support Included: alongside torrents and debrid it handles usenet sources, which very few Stremio addons bother to index at all.
- Updated Two Days Ago: version 2.31.1 landed on 19 July 2026 under a named developer, which is a rare level of transparency here.
- I Needed An Hour: I set this up last and it took me roughly an hour to configure properly, far longer than the others.
| Pros | Cons |
| Most powerful and flexible option | Steepest setup of anything here |
| Proxying bypasses IP restrictions | Overkill for casual viewers |
| Seven instances for redundancy | Depends on other addons underneath |
| Named, active developer | Configuration page is dense |
Pricing: Free to install and use on the public ElfHosted instance. A private ElfHosted instance is $9/month with the full addon bundle at $29/month (checked 21 July 2026). Debrid billed separately.

Verdict:
There is no dedicated EZTV addon, and chasing one wastes time. Enabling EZTV inside a multi-provider addon gives you the source plus twenty others, which is strictly better than isolating it on its own.
- TorrentsDB: the route I would pick first, carrying EZTV among an expanded provider list on independent servers with a clean health record.
- MediaFusion: the strongest option for anyone whose television watching extends well beyond English-language series, thanks to its genuinely multilingual indexed catalogues.
- AIOStreams: the best long-term setup if you will invest an hour, since it consolidates every source and debrid account behind one filtered list.
FAQs
Is there an official EZTV addon for Stremio?
No. A search of the community addon catalogue on 21 July 2026 returned no standalone EZTV entry. EZTV exists as a selectable provider inside Torrentio and TorrentsDB, and as one half of the small Ytztvio wrapper addon.
How do I get EZTV results in Stremio?
Open the Torrentio configuration page in a browser, confirm EZTV is ticked among the providers, add your debrid API key, then install the personalised link it generates. Installing the plain catalogue entry skips your settings entirely.
What is Ytztvio?
Ytztvio is a small open-source addon that wraps the YTS and EZTV APIs, pulling movies from one and television episodes from the other. It queries EZTV by IMDb identifier plus season and episode, and can be self-hosted with Docker.
Why are some EZTV episodes missing?
Usually season numbering. Long-running and anime series are frequently split differently by trackers, so episodes land under another season. Check whether Stremio holds a duplicate catalogue entry for the series, as the second one often returns everything.
Do I need Real-Debrid for EZTV on Stremio?
Not strictly, but television benefits from it more than film does. Older seasons often have single-figure seeder counts that stall peer-to-peer playback, while a debrid service plays cached episodes instantly and keeps you out of the swarm.
Is EZTV safe to use through Stremio?
The addons are legal software that index links rather than host files. The content is a separate question, since most of it is copyrighted television shared without permission. Peer-to-peer streaming also uploads while you watch, which carries the most risk.
