This was working just fine for me, Until it updated to v14. Now, All I get is Green for video. Audio plays fine Confused I've tried many changes in the settings for the passed couple days, to no avail.

Windows 10 pro x64
Kodi v18.2

I'm getting a black screen with no audio, using either version of the addon on LibreElec 9.0.1 w/ Kodi 18.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3. The video acts as if it's playing with the seekbar moving but I get a black screen with no audio. I've tried messing with all of the addon settings and Inputstream settings to no avail. What's curious is that I have Kodi 18.1 running on my Windows 7 PC and Netflix works with no problems. I can't figure out for the life of me what the issue is. I feel like I've tried everything. I've seen other people report that they have Netflix running on their Pis.

Raspberry Pi is a problematic device
the only solution is:
-in kodi settings: settings/player/videos disable: OMXPlayer
-in netflix expert settings disable HEVC and VP9, Rpi cpu is not very powerful
-if 1080p not fluid set inputstream adaptative max resolution to 720p due to weak cpu
The video not appearing issue i solved myself by disabling everything that was enabled in expert settings.

The only other problem im now having is that some shows/episodes its not picking up the audio

One example is "street food", episode 2. 

if someone could test that episode and see if its a netflix/add on issue, or if its an issue at my end before i start troubleshooting..
Hi, I'll get the following message after a while:

Playback error
The addon encountered the following error:

Awesome, thanks man, disabling OMXPlayer is what made it work for me.
When trying to open the netflix add-on I get a pop up from osmc saying "Netflix error". Here are the logs. https://paste.kodi.tv/ujuralamaf.kodi

I fixed that by uninstalling the addon then setting up the repository as described on the first post, reinstalling the addon from there, then disabling everything under Advanced Settings in the Netflix addon, and finally a reboot.

Not working for me
Can someone test for me

Street Food - Episode 2
Street Food - Episode 3

and see if they have audio. So that I can establish if its a netflix/add-on issue, or if its an issue with my device. Most programs Im having no problems with but theres a handful (street food and a few episodes of terrace house) where i get no audio
I am a bit bandwidth restricted on my odroid c2/libreelec 9 setup. Is it possible to configure this add on to ask for 2-channel audio instead of multichannel? Furthermore, is it possible to ask for H.265 video for plain HD resolutions (ie 720p, 1080p)?

EDIT: Some notes after playing a bit with this addon.

1) If I disabled DD plus support in the expert settings, the addon downloads 2-channel variants of the stream, instead of multichannel one:
Code:
2019-05-06 00:31:15.708 T:3414160240  NOTICE: Creating audio stream (codec id: 86018, channels: 2, sample rate: 48000, no pass-through)

Now here's the funny stuff: the very first time I made this configuration change, the clip played back perfectly. On the second episode I tried to play though, no audio was coming out! Here's the funny part: while playing the same clip, if I switch audio to another language (german for example) in the stream, it plays in stereo perfectly. Switch back to the English 2-ch audio stream and it is muted again!!!

2) Enabling H.265 in the expert settings (only the H.265 option selected and not the two sub-options) produces some inputstream errors in the log. Hence it seems that it is not doable at the moment.

All in all, I must find out why I'm experiencing with issue with the "muted" 2-channel sound...
I’m confused. In the latest release with HQ audio+Atmos, which audio stream is the highest quality? The first one? (default track)
Addon installs fine on my Mac mini, I can browse videos and everything, but I can't get Netflix to play a video. It just shows the animated circle forever or doesn't react when I hit play. Anything I can try?

My apologies. I was not aware the add-on you mentioned was banned. I deleted it.
Here is the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/zemefobiki.kodi
The problem occours after a while. After a reboot I can use Netflix, but then not anymore
