After two years of faultless use of Netflix within Kodi today Netflix is telling me I must login. I tried the correct email/password but no, so I went down the road of Authentication Key following the Github procedure. I get to the point where I am to press Start to set off the Chrome browser but that window is somewhat garbled and whereas I can see the start button it does not respond to the mouse click.
I would appreciate any help because the Windows Netflix app I have just installed as a back up and which was successfully logged into using the email/password has a badly designed UI, the Kodi UI is superior in every single way.
Version 1.12.6 on Leía 18.9
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I am not aware how to achieve that within that window. Are you able to point me in the right direction?
EDIT: Do you mean changing the Windows 10 default font, because that involves going into the registry? I could do that but would be surprised that the author of the procedure would have had to do the same thing.

Thanks to you for your reply. I have tried to launch this on two completely different Windows 10 computers and I get the same result. I will play around with the font size etc. but I am surprised this has not been flagged up before. It is frustrating to get this far only to be stymied on something unrelated to Kodi or Netflix. I am grateful to both of you above for your suggestions.

Success!
I can’t thank you both enough. I reduced the font size as per the link you sent and it worked like a dream.
Brilliant! (You can tell I am pleased).

Thank you for this addon. I also went the Authentication Key route.
I have a second nVidia Shield TV. What happens if I backup the Kodi settings and restore on the second machine? Does Netflix work or I should login again?

I have to say that this addon is a must for nVidia Shield. I did some tests and the official Netflix app doesn't do refresh rate change. So you see micro stutters everywhere. How on earth they can release an app on Nvidia Shield that doesn't do refresh rate change?

I'm not allowed to edit my previous post, but it's not even necessary to install python 3.8. Kodi 19 is available as a flatpak package. I've just installed it on an old Ubuntu 16.04. The Netflix addon works fine.
sudo flatpak install tv.kodi.Kodi
flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi
(Kodi 19 runs in a sandbox, using a different configuration directory, so it's necessary to set it up from scratch)

Hi
I have followed the authentication route, but got this error saying that cannot find websocket, may I know how to fix this?
I have already installed the web socket-client with pip3
File "NFAuthenticationKey.py", line 21, in <module>
import websocket # pip install websocket-client
ImportError: No module named websocket
Thanks
