Easynews Kodi Addon Latest Version
The Easynews addon hasn’t officially been maintained or developed for a few years. However, there is not much maintenance required since the addon doesn’t use multiple scrapers and resolvers like a traditional addon such as Venom or Fen.
Easynews only connects to one scraper: the Easynews Usenet service. It plays all links directly using your credentials.
So even though the addon isn’t regularly updated, it’s worked great for 4+ years now. We’ve used it for that long without issue.

Easynews Kodi/Usenet Kodi FAQ Guide
Q. I’m concerned about 20GB/40GB/150GB listed on the website as not being enough for my streaming needs per month.
A. Depending on your streaming usage, Easynews can give you at minimum, 20+ hours worth of HD content every month. Brand new Kodi content is usually found in abundance through other free sources. If you utilize these for basic streaming needs and keep your Easynews quota for more obscure content, you can easily save data. Easynews quota’s roll over to the next month and over time, you will build up a bank of data to use.
A. Real-Debrid allows you to stream from a selection of public file hosts. Links through Real-Debrid go down as much as free hosts. Usenet servers are completely private and not indexed and files stay up indefinitely and the number of files available is in the hundreds of millions.
Q. How do I search in the addon?
When you launch the Easynews addon, you’ll see “Search Easynews” as your top choice. If you click on this, you can search by any media title you can think of.
For TV Shows, remember the SxxExx syntax. If you want the 14th episode of the 3rd season for a show, enter in “Show Title s03e14”. This should help you find what you want.

Crap, just more obscure crap
I have another news server with nzb geek and nzb finder and its super affordable just to download it then play it kodi why even use Plex
Is it really worth to buy?
Turns out it only works with a Web plan from easynews. If you have NNTP only, it will not work.
I’d rather just use my unlimited NNTP for $9.95/mo to download and stream via Plex instead of paying $30/mo for only 150gb.
That USENET stuff is whacko insane expensive so will never use.
so, muckys repo`s not have easynews addon inside but i need it….where it is now?
you guys are wrong….pay services are future and way better instead free….do you remember icefilms addon connected to megaupload? it is dead now about 4-5 years….that was last combination for best quality and free for all….today most addons with just free content have bad picture quality…..
These services are turning Kodi into a paid entity. This content is on the Internet and is FREE until people start signing up for these services and that becomes the trend. Keep Kodi FREE !
This is garbage, paid, will not install. Complete garbage!!
Is there any other way to install EasyNews on Kodi? I’ve tried the instructions and have typed in the address EXACTLY as given and I have gone back to the address and looked for spaces before and after the address and there are none and there are no caps or spelling mistakes. My boyfriend has even tried. We’ve tried on 3 different devices with the same results that it can’t find a directory to download.
How do you install the Kodi Addon for EasyNews.. The directions I have found with xfinity, do not work.
So this is why none of the streams are working – they expect us to pay now for iptv. You would be better off paying for Sky or Virgin – at least their on demand services work when you want them to.
Same problem as John above
Have pre loaded kodi exodus. No streams can’t view anything.Says no internet connection.
My WiFi working fine for security tv computers? Any help.
Thanks John
Not working for me, go to click on film and it just comes up briefly with “working” then stops.

I have setup the easy news add-on as described I have tried several times to set up and still getting error once I select a movie or TV show..please help
I have just installed easy news on kodi and when i click on a movie or tv show it keeps coming up with error and to check logs but when i check logs nothing comes up please help
My android tv box is missing the in theater option and I’m not sure why
I downloaded easynews paid the monthly fee the addon worked perfectly for 2 days now the addon wont open when I click on a movie and it says error check log… Easynews wont help they say they didnt make the addon contact them… Help
“Millions of users around the glove access Usenet” *giggle*
This add-on doesn’t make sense and is a highway robbery.
Can anyone tell me why the easyboost option is not available at the top of my page? I have a trial of the classic plan started. Is it not available during the trial?
I’ve been an Easynews user since the beginning. I love this addon. The only thing I’d like to see is when you download a file I wish it would be named the same as the file name on Easynews. When I download it saves it with the name of the search I did to find it. Other than that A+++++++++++++++++++++.
I like reading through your internet site. Kudos!
If we are paying for the Plan, why would we need VPN?
I think most folks here are really confused… The 20Gb per month is not for ‘general’ downloading like you get with a phone data plan. You still need a regular data plan! The $$$ paid to EasyNews is for the files you download from THEM, not for everything else.
Is there the ability to turn this setting off at times? Like if there are good streams already present and available.. and you want to save data useage through EasyNews? Is that an option? The thought is to subscribe and only use when I can not find other available streams in the network? Or does EasyNews only run full time or off? Is this adjustable? I have unlimited data useage with my ISP service but this seems ideal in “certain” situations
Free trial but why are they trying to charge my card 20plus dollars?
Big fan of Easynews, used it for years
Is there an addon that works with any provider? Paying $10/mo for 20gb when I can get unlimited for the same $10/mo just doesn’t make sense.
ok help me understand this a little better,PLEASE!!!!!
i have a data plan with hugesnet 60g a month only 10g anytime and 50 between 2am-8am. if i purchase a plan from you guys how does that work? do i cancel hugesnet or what?? say i buy the BIG PACK from you guys and get 150g but i run out of data on hugesnet can i still connect to easynews?
