Buds Kodi Features
The Buds Kodi addon is multi-source addon that is built upon the old Fen code. Fen was shut down by the developer following previous threats of legal action from media companies.
Buds is similar to Ezra, another Fen fork. We aren’t sure which addon will become more popular yet, so we’ve covered both in detail.
One of the perks of Buds is that it support both Easynews and Furk, two premium providers. Easynews is a usenet provider, which gives access to private servers with millions of media files that never get removed (unlike a free file host).
A full list of Buds Kodi features are:
- Full free user support from native scrapers and ResolveURL
- Cached torrent support
- Easynews support
- Furk support
- Download support
- Quickly access your Kodi library
- Search Trakt, Easynews, Furk, or by People

How to Properly Setup the Buds Kodi Addon
To give yourself a fresh start after installing Buds, follow these instructions:
Activate Your Premium Accounts
From the main menu, navigate to My Accounts > Settings > Add Trakt/Real Debrid/Premiumize accounts and follow the instructions for each option to activate your premium accounts in Ezra.
Sync Scrapers
Go to Scrapers Settings > Scraper accounts > Sync with my accounts to sync your scrapers into the addon.
Also, go into Buds settings > Meta accounts > Sync with my accounts and follow those instructions.
Clear Cache
Finally, clear the cache in the addon by going into Buds and navigating to Tools > Clear database and setting files > Clear all cache.
Buds Cached Torrent Tip
If you have a debrid account setup in Buds, you can cut down on your search time significantly by turning on cached torrents only and enabling torrent scrapers in the Tikiscraper settings.
Typically, searches with these settings take well under 20 seconds and you are assured of only seeing links which are definitely available to streak (no dead links!). If you subscribe to Furk, turn those scrapers on too in Bud’s settings.
Buds Additional Scrapers
In the settings of Buds, there is a Scrapers tab that allows you to setup custom scrapers that are unique to the addon.
When you go into this section of the settings, here are your options:
- Furk – You must enter your Furk account details.
- PM Cloud – Allows you to stream directly from your Premiumize cloud.
- RD Cloud – Allows you to stream directly from your Real Debrid cloud.
- Local Library – Lets you play media files stored on your local computer or server.
- Downloads – Let’s you play from the downloads folder
- Source 1/Source 2/Source 3 – Custom sources that you can setup tp import scraper modules from any other addon.
That’s it! When you search for a media title, it will bring in results from Furk. As well, the Search section of the Buds Kodi addon also has specific searches for Furk as well.
