Thank you for the Netflix update. Everything seems to be working.
This is my setup;
Nvidia Shield
Sony Z9D
Kodi 18.3

With lower resolution movies, the image clarity is slightly pixilated. The clarity is gone with the h264 coder. The only working stream option is 768x432 which is not very clear.
I've noticed that the vp9 coder did a better job on lower resolution. On vp9 the picture was almost close as the native Netflix picture. Is there any way to get the vp9 back for lower resolution video?

Sinds a few days i have a problem with the netflix addon. I reinstalled the latest git, remove all settings but nothing.

When i try to start a serie, or a movie it will pop up a error.. Object of type 'NonType' has len(0)

Kodi log

If there is more information needed, please ask.

It's a bug in 15.1, GitHub developer jus says just restart it and it worked for me!  

Everything is resolved with the 15.2 release. 
Thanks voor the work and a great addon..

Hello, I'm not sure if this will work for you, but it worked for me.. I was having the same constant loading spinner when trying to load a movie/TV show from the plugin. This is what I did:

Kodi/Settings/Player/ -> "Enable HQ scalers for scaling above"
(I had it off) I turned it on to 40%
Allow hardware acceleration -
MediaCodec [Surface] OFF
Allow hardware acceleration -
MediaCodec
ON
Rebooted and Netflix plugin now played my shows.

if you can, extract logs by enabling kodi debug

so on the expert settings menu, on the profiles
publish photos of how it is configured or describe it

[moba77]

I've enabled but seems empty..

I've also reinstalled Kodi and Netflix plugin only... Same result (

Still can't play 4k on my Sony Android TV...only 1080p... 
Can somebody with Nvidia Shield or Xiaomi Mi S or Firestick can...?

I try once more with original app and works OK... at begining streams starts with 720p or 1080p and then
after 30-90 sec go up to 2160p and bitrate is then constant 15,2 Mb/s....and all 1080p or 4k streams now
use HEVC (.h265)

I know that about half a year ago use variable bit rate up to 30Mb/s...
Is maybe constant bitrate problem or Netflix really limited at 1080p?

I'm having the same issue as others with NVIDIA Shield from what I see. Here is a log creating the error: https://pastebin.com/fX6hDfAJ

The Shield issue is not fixed yet. Both issues (for the Netflix plugin and the Inputstream plugin) are still open on Github:

Just opened up kodi after a week away on holiday and a popup for this addon shows

Playback error
Netflix returned the following error.
Error parsing MSL encodable.
Error details have been written to the kodi logfile.....etc

Opened the addon and put in my netflix email and password. Now I get another error.

Exception. AddonSignals call timed out

i just found solution for my Sony Android TV... i made log file and i saw that ESN not the same as original app... I wrote original app ESN on paper and then first delete msl_data.json and cookies in Kodi... then open Netflix addon settings and manual add ESN and voilaaaaa 
4k HDR work again and bitrate is still variable and go over 20 Mb/s.... original app need 30-90 sec to turn on 4k and then bitrate is constant 15,25 Mb/s...
