Release Easynews Plugin Tweak Instructions
#1
Having a 50mbps connection got me to speculate the constant buffering and upon digging around I've come up with a tweak that will help you if you follow these instructions closely.

Step 1: Go to https://www2.easynews.com/trace.phtml Check your speed. You may have to refresh the page if you have gone to that page earlier. If your speed is below 10mbps, HD Streaming will be choppy.

Step 2: Change the port preferences in this link: http://members.easynews.com/2.0/user/prefs?c=general
Preferred Download Region. I've chosen US West Region due to obvious reasons.
Preferred Port: I've seen Port 82 gives me the max speed with easynews due to proximity.

Step 3: Go to Easynews Global Search on the PC do a search on a file and generate new download links to test the download speed. If you have attained the maximum speed of your connection then you are good to go to the next step. If not change port in step 2 and repeat till you get your golden configuration for your location.

Step 4: Edit the following file in Ultraedit or Notepad. (BE CAREFUL)
Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.EasyNews\default. py

Do a Search Replace of the following line:
members.easynews.com/dl/
to
members.easynews.com/dl/phx/82/

Go have to XBMC Logs and you will see the updated/modified link will get hit now with no BUFFERRING......

HOPE THIS HELPS........

Sorry for the delayed response. You cannot look for the file but type it in Start/Run
Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.EasyNews\default. py

C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\appdata\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.EasyNews\
