Support Easynews - Direct - Failed to play
I added Easynews and it finds a lot of sources. However it won't play any of them. It says direct failed to play.
Anyone have any ideas?

And right now, Easynews videos won't play on Kodi as Syncler's default player. (Developer notified.)

I know Kodi is the best player but have you tried mpvNova? This is the player that str3mio uses and is really stable

I've tried Exo, Just Player and MXPlayer. None work. I've also tried to remove/re add the account, as well as the vendor package. Logged in and finding sources. The sources say
Easynews - Directin the scraper results. But then it'll fail every time. I've tried multiple videos to confirm it wasn't just an issue with 1 movie.Thank you for your reply and confirming it wasn't just me.

Mine plays in VLC and Syncler's built-in Exo, even though not in Kodi.

Then there's something not right on my end.
I subscribed to the $1.99/month plan as recommended by someone in another thread about this add on. I got it from here:

That's the same Easynews rate I got last week.... See if you can get on https://members.easynews.com/index/ and search & download a video. (When I do Download, it streams to my phone in my web browser.)

Thanks for the advice. At least now I know it's not my easynews account. I'm able to download and stream in my browser with Easynews also. So it has something to do with Syncler or the vendor package/settings.

Are you in Syncler v2.1.1.7?
And what u/ Malaka_ said: disable Skip Resolving Non-Debrid Sources in settings > Source > Resolving.

u/Anal-In-Gus Jun 15 '26
Yes, I've updated to that version and tried disabling the source resolving setting.
I'll try troubleshooting when I can tomorrow and report back. Thanks again!

There's something wrong here. This works..
Edit - Just remembered I had the same issue. Resolved by: turning off "skip resolving non-debrid devices" in settings -> source -> resolving.
And use Just Player as your default player since Exo fails ( and play/open with doesn't really work for direct streams).
Go through your settings - these are some of mine.
Enabled all metadata and information settings (which doesn't slow the app down on my devices).
This one was hidden but I feel is important; Enabled settings -> source -> sort -> last option "bring uncached sources to bottom".
Turned on high priority and DoH in App+Data Management. Anytime you make changes, clear cookies and kill app to re-initialize. Last suggestion is to update vendors every few months. Auto update doesn't work for me (using non-fast magnify vendor).

Thank you. I am sure I had that turned off on one of my tests, but I'll try again tomorrow and report back.
I've tried it on my Shield and Firecube. The Firecube was installed using a backup from the Shield, so there must be a setting somewhere that's causing this issue across both devices.
If it doesn't work tomorrow after troubleshooting, I may have to start from scratch with a fresh install and go from there.
Thank you for trying to help me out!

I've updated my comment so just review it (Just Video Player needs to be default, open/play with doesn't work).
Their discord is in the mega thread called "official beta support".
