When i play regular movies they play without problem even 2K, but netflix lags a lot. Anyway to fix this

This is my log https://paste.kodi.tv/ejadebicib.kodi
Try to lower the resolution to 720p, right click on the Netflix plugin icon and press on "Settings", in "Account" press on "Inputstream Addon Settings", in "Max. Resolution secure decoder" choose "720p", and press on "OK", Netflix plugin uses software decoding only, other software may use hardware decoding which makes them capable of decoding higher resolutions.

Try using 0.13.21, it might be better for your device because VP9 is not enabled in 0.13.21 by default (VP9 usually slower than h264), uninstall 0.14.1 first.

Is there any way to have 1080p in raspberry pi3B?
I've tried many of netflix addons from this thread with no luck.
Does anyone who have rspb pi3B can see on 1080p?

I can't even get smooth playback with 720p. I noticed that one core is at 100% the others are not really used at all but perhaps that's just the way it is with software decoding.

Can we expect any kind of change here or will HD playback not really be available for rpi owners?

Try using this unofficial 0.14.1, uninstall beta 14 first.

 I'm not sure what is the fix for this problem, but try a clean installation for Kodi, remove everything related to Kodi and install it again and install 0.14.1, if still not working change your Netflix password for just numbers and letters.
Add on mostly works great although...
1. Some videos play at low quality while the rest plays perfectly, not sure why.. also dont think it gets better after a few mintes into the video.
2. And that's the real bugger, the subtitles are displayed like yoda speaks.

Glad to hear it I would be if anyone's got a solution.

Try this modified release, see if it will fix the problem with the subtitles or not, uninstall Netflix plugin first.

The movies in 480p or 540p are not a problem from the Netflix plugin, some movies are provided in this resolutions from its owners, try to play the same movies on google chrome and you will get the same resolutions.

On the RPi3B I needed a slight overclock to get 720p working smoothly. Without that it would stutter and audio/video got out of sync when the bitrate exceeded about 4.5-5Mbit/sec.

I used these overclock settings on my RPi3B:
Code:
arm_freq=1300
gpu_freq=500
over_voltage=4

sdram_freq=550
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020

The RPi3B+ should be fine with stock clocking, but to get better HEVC performance I added a bit of overclock on it as well and raised the soft throttling limit to 70° (which was the value the first RPi3B+ firmware shipped with before it was reduced to 60°).

Here are the settings I'm currently using on my RPi3B+s:
Code:
temp_soft_limit=70
gpu_freq=500
over_voltage=2

sdram_freq=580
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020

Note: these overclock settings are not guaranteed to work on all RPis, you have to test yourself if they are stable on your RPi.

Also keep in mind that you need proper cooling, if the RPi starts throttling because it's getting too hot Netflix will start to stutter as well. Use eg bcmstat.sh on LibreELEC to monitor current temperature and clock rates.

so long,

Hias
What do you mean uninstall plugin?
I tried to uninstall everything then install the plugin and now videos won't even open.

 Yes, 720p and 1080p and if you have android device you could get 4K in some videos (but not for all the movies, some movies are 540p and 480p only), if you want to force the plugin to show the videos in 720p only, follow the steps here.

Hello everybody,

First : thanks for your work !! Great great plugin Smile
Now the complains Smile

I have two macs

- One modern, a MacBook Pro : everything works perfectly.
- An old one, which is my home cinema, an iMac from 2009

He's in fullscreen mode, with a video projector plugged in mirroring, in 1080p.

My Kodi is v18, configured with the auto adjust frame rate.
it works nicely :

1080p24        >  my hdmi output switches to 24fps
1080p25        >  my hdmi output switches to 50fps
1080p23,976  >  my hdmi output switches to 60fps NTSC

(24,50 & 60 are the 3 modes allowed by this video projector)

All the speeds are correctly detected and applied to the hdmi output, whether I use the local files or streaming.

When I read local video files on that computer (all rates), it's perfect.
When I read streaming from Catchup-TV & more (25fps rate, as I'm in France), it's also perfect.

Here's the problem :

When I stream from the Netflix Add-on, I can read perfectly 1080p24, but not the 1080p23,976 or 1080p25 : it stutters.

Just to test, I installed the Youtube add-on, setup to use inputstream adaptive to read mpd from Youtube :
everything works and is fluid, at all rates (23,976, 24, 25)

Strange, no ?

So :

- I think the computer is capable of reading streaming 1080p at all rates (well at least until 25fps, which is enough for me)
- Why isn't it working with the Netflix plugin ?

I case of it might help to debug :

When I play a Youtube video and it hit "O", it display "video decoder : ff-h264 (SW)" (even if it's REALLY using inputstream adaptive, I'm sure of it I did test)
When I play a Netflix video, it says "video decoder : inputstream.adaptive.h264.decoder (SW)"

Does Netflix add-on handle inputstream adaptive in a different way than Youtube add-on does ?
Would it be possible to handle it so that it works like the Youtube add-on does ?

Thanks, sorry for that long text but the problem was hard to detect for me Smile
