Other information

Here is manifest.json, it might help for fixing the problem.

manifest.zip

In the file settings.xml in

C:\Users\Essam\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.netflix\resources

changing from

<setting id="enable_vp9_profiles" type="bool" label="30086" default="false" visible="eq(-3,true)" subsetting="true"/>

to

<setting id="enable_vp9_profiles" type="bool" label="30086" default="true" visible="eq(-3,true)" subsetting="true"/>

Fixed the playback for me.

And here is a fixed release using this workaround (the fix tested with windows 10, it might not work for some others operating systems then try opening Kodi and right click on the Netflix plugin icon and choose Settings, stand on Expert and enable HEVC profiles).

use this release with Windows 10 (Only VP9 profiles are ON by default)

plugin.video.netflix-0.13.19.FIX.zip

and use this release with non-Windows operating systems (VP9 and HEVC profiles are ON by default)

plugin.video.netflix-0.13.19.FIXED2.zip

This release should work with all the operating systems.

Similar issue here (RPi3B ), the screen dims a little when playback starts… and fails: Debug log: http://ix.io/1upH

The above fix doesn’t work though. This was a fresh install done yesterday. Addition: Rollback to 0.13.18 does make things work.

In the fixed 0.13.19 try opening Kodi and right click on the Netflix plugin icon and choose Settings, stand on Expert Enable HEVC profiles and Disable VP9 profiles, or enable both of them.

@krisdeg This is a closed topic for a different problem which is fixed but never released yet in an official release, the plugin is not working now because of the problem in #555, upload your debug log to

https://pastebin.com/api

and post the link with your problem here

https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix/issues/555

use Netflix plugin 0.13.18, because the official 0.13.19 is broken for a different problem.
