Easynews is a premium Usenet provider that offers a web-based Usenet browser. It allows you to search, preview, and download files from Usenet newsgroups without the need for a newsreader. Easynews is known for its user-friendly interface and fast download speeds. The Easynews addon for Stremio provides access to Easynews content directly within the Stremio app. You can search for and stream movies, TV shows, and other media files from Easynews using the addon. In a way it can serve as an alternative to debrid services (Real-Debrid, Premiumize, AllDebrid etc.). An Easynews account with an active subscription is required to use the addon.
The original Easynews addon for Stremio is lacking features, contains bug and its developer is inactive to say the least (I did everything in my power to reach out to them, but they haven't responded since July 8 2024). It doesn't help that the original addon is closed-source too, which makes it difficult to contribute to the project. This addon aims to provide a better alternative by offering more features, better performance, and an open-source codebase that anyone can contribute to.
To get results in a fast and private manner, you may wish to self-host the addon. This is easy to do, and only requires a few steps. We support multiple ways of self-hosting:
The addon can be deployed as a Cloudflare worker, which is a serverless platform that runs your code in data centers around the world. It's incredibly fast and reliable, and you can deploy the addon for free.
Follow the getting started guide and then deploy the addon with the wrangler CLI:
$ git clone https://github.com/sleeyax/stremio-easynews-addon.git && cd stremio-easynews-addon
$ npm i
$ npm run build
$ npm run deploy:cloudflare-workerNavigate to the URL provided by Cloudflare to verify that the addon is running. It should look something like https://stremio-easynews-addon.yourname.workers.dev/.
You can use the provided Dockerfile to build and run the addon in a container. To do this, you need to have Docker installed on your system.
$ docker run -p 8080:1337 ghcr.io/sleeyax/stremio-easynews-addon:latestAlternatively, build the image yourself:
$ git clone https://github.com/sleeyax/stremio-easynews-addon.git && cd stremio-easynews-addon
$ docker build -t stremio-easynews-addon .
$ docker run -p 8080:1337 stremio-easynews-addonNavigate to http://localhost:8080/ in your browser to verify that the addon is running.
If you'd rather run directly from source, you can do so with Node.js. Make sure you have NPM 7 or higher installed on your system. We also recommend Node 20 or higher, though older versions might still work.
# version should be >= 20
$ node -v
# version must be >= 7
$ npm -v
$ git clone https://github.com/sleeyax/stremio-easynews-addon.git && cd stremio-easynews-addon
$ npm i
$ npm run build
# starts the addon in production mode
$ npm run start:addonNavigate to http://localhost:1337/ in your browser to verify that the addon is running. You can set the PORT environment variable to change the listener port. For example, to run the addon on port 8080:
$ PORT=8080 npm run start:addonLooking for additional hosting options? Let us know which platform(s) you'd like to see supported by creating an issue.
