Hi,
im using Kodi (18.6) and this Addon on a Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) and i have a issue with the 4K Stream (16k). Usually it plays fine but sometimes i get framedrops (on a random basis), propably on bad latency to my isp. Im on a 200 MBit link and usually speed and latency are fine, i guess it happens at busy times or when much people are watching the same stream (vodafone has own peering / cache with Netflix). The player doesnt start buffering its just 1 frameskip from time to time. I already tried everything to get this fixed with no luck. CPU is at 30% when playing (no spikes) and the shield is connected over LAN (Gbit link).
I already read that this addon is not using the Kodi buffer settings but a internal 8 sek. buffer. Is it possible to get a setting to raise that buffer or to download more chunks in advance? Would this fix that issue?
Thanks for this great addon and keep up the good work, very appreciated.

I guess you are heading the worng direction here. The min. bits/sec setting is for stream selection (to not use a lower stream than what you set it up to). Also this is not about sync issues but about random framedrops, and why would Netflix cut the bandwidth on purpose? That just doesnt make sense...
A few sec. pause also shouldnt be a feature / fix to counter framedrops dont you think?
