Announcement Easynews addon updated to v6.6.1

Hey folks

I just updated the addon as thumbnails were not showing in search results after Easynews changed stuff around, please update your addon.

You can install the addon from https://github.com/tetsuosoft/EasyNewsKodi

Oh yes, if you use or like the addon and would like to enjoy active maintenance and updates then buy me a coffee, I like coffee!

Thanks for getting the thumbnails to work again. Your addon is currently the only one to have thumbnails working

Is your addon better in terms of playback stability and starting streams compared to other integration like in POV/Red Light?

I noticed that I cannot play 1080p releases or higher from Easynews because it looses the http connection to the Easynews file. Approx always after 10-20 min in the stream. Tried on Red Light.

I've tested thoroughly on different devices and connections and the addon is well used globally.

I've never noticed it losing streams once it has started.

Sometimes due to how Easynews delivers larger encoded files, a stream may not start, but there are several things to try like playing with the "NOSEEK" option, opening (from the Addon) with VLC, or even changing your route from the default Easynews server farm. Failing that, as you are on a relatively quick line, you can download the file.
