My running Kodi system with Netflix add on of good standing suddenly stopped working.  I have updated everything, sign in /sign out.  Updated login credetials.  
Login is ok, i can search Netflix, find the titles, etc, however when i click on to play after having the blue wheel on screen for a second or two nothing happens.  Same Netflix account works seemlessly on a computer in the same network.  Any idea?  
Thanks
any idea?
Cant speculate anything without a full debug log unfortunately

Thanks for your reply. maybe i didn't make myself understood. 
i have a S912 box, i have also succeed to get 720p NF streams if i boot to CoreElec 9.2.1. However, i don't want to switch my system to CE
i wants to run KODI on android system. so my question is: is it possible to get 720p NF streams if i run KODI on a AOSP box? 

For Netflix addon to work in Android, the Android device must have Widevine support. Install DRMInfo app from the playstore and see if it shows Widevine DRM support. Widevine Level 3 is good enough to do 720p as long as the CPU is capable of decoding. There is no hardware aceleration possible for Netflix unless it has Level 1 Widevine support.  If there is no Widevine supported on the Android S912 box, then the only way is to run CoreElec to gain Widevine Level 3 capability
Merry Christmas.
I noticed hw acceleration works fine in my H96 MAX X3  S905X3  - NF addon kodi 18.9 setup , which has Widevine L 3 support, and streams in 960x540 (the perceived quality is at least 720)

Hello everyone. Complete Kodi noob here. I have a firestick 4k plugged into my Atmos capable AVR and I have Kodi Leia and the Castagna repository that enabled the Netflix add on. However, I've not been able to get Atmos sound, just DD+. Also, when I get Dolby Vision, it appears to be 1080p not 4K. Am I missing a setting? Advice please. Thanks in advance!

If you're on the latest FireTV version (6.2.7.7. if I remember correctly), it's Amazon's fault, due to the latest update. They messed up something. I own the 4k stick myself and using a Kodi 19 version which is optimized for our stick and play Netflix with Dolby Atmos flawlessly.

Hello , I noticed hw acceleration works fine in my H96 MAX X3  S905X3  - NF addon kodi 18.9 setup , which has Widevine L 3 support, and streams in 960x540 with H264 streams mostly (the perceived quality is at least 720).
On the other hand in my HP N2840-linux-NF 18.6  setup , there is no HW acceleration ,but manages 720 p. Is that normal ? Is there any way to eable HW acceleration (which works in other addons with H264 streams-not H265)

Hmm, will check the version. Outside of Kodi I do get Atmos and DV with Disney+ and some Prime content. I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to Nvidia Shield if this isn't fixable soon.

Ok I checked and yes it's 6.2.7.7. I downloaded Kodi 19 matrix beta but I can't get the Netflix add on to work with it. How is yours working flawlessly?

Did you install NF addon for Kodi 19 Matrix (plugin.video.netflix-1.12.0+matrix.1.zip) ?

Ah, that must be it. I had the Castagna repository one from Kodi 18.9. Will look for this one, thanks.

Ok so I have the proper versions of Kodi Matrix and Netflix add-on installed. I'm still getting DD+ instead of Atmos for Atmos movies. I went into expert and made sure it was enabled. I'm also getting HDR, not DV. Not sure if there's a setting I need to check?

Quick update. I rebooted my Firestick and my AVR and that got me DV back but Atmos is still not present. It does show in the Kodi add on audio selection as one of the audio choices where it says English Atmos-DD+ but then my AVR is only showing DD+.

Go to Settings - Player - Videos and make sure you have the Sync playback to display to off.

Make a couple of restarts to Fire stick as well. Might help.

Sync playback was off. I also did a couple restarts of the Firestick from the main device menu but the problem continues. Very strange. I definitely get Atmos from Disney+ and other sources. Anything else I should try?
