@Tree_Forrester - as both tvaddons and fusion are banned addons (wiki) here due to violating our piracy policy (wiki), we're frankly glad that you can't add any of their crap.

I would suggest you actually go and read the forum rules (wiki) that you accepted and agreed to abide by when you signed up here before you go any further.

Thank you! 
Thank you.  The temporary fix seems to be working fine for me.  Do you have any comment regarding confidence of a longer term fix?  My Netflix trial is expiring and I won't pay for it unless I can watch in Kodi.
sigh... what a question.
The answer is obvious. Don't buy it.
This addon is a hobby, so you can't rely on it.

Problem is that there's no proper API for Netflix, and devs are playing cat and mouse with the changes they make on their web pages.

Hello! I dont know why, but one of my principal netflix profile doesnt show a lot of series and movies, but my second profile does this. What can I do?

Update to new 1.5.1 version, and all Netflix original media should work in 1080p again on Arm devices.
It works OK on my Odroid N2, and also noticed that streams with high bitrate are no longer throttled, I noticed that high bitrate streams spike now up to 25-28Mbits on my N2, same as before Covid-19 situation...
But this doesnt work for all series.

Have a look at "The Last Kingdom". Which resolution did you get ?

It plays at 960x540i. As it says on GitHub, "With Software decoding 1080P is not guaranteed".
Don't know how or why are SD vs HD streams selected. Did notice that before with some Australian series though...

You have to ask to Netflix directly why..

These are the know parameters that influence the resolutions:

For that matter why does the Kodi addon stutter on the 4k Fire Stick when it uses Widevine L1 and is hardware accelerated?

Just got one too. Unfortunately it stutters when frame rate switching is enabled and with some shows like znation it even stutters with switching disabled. The official app works fine but I hoped it'd work fine through the add-on as well.
