Although both my monitor and the shows are all 21:9 I get black bars EVERY side of the screen AND a distorted image. I played with all the zoom setting but nothing would work correctly. Everything outside of netflix works fine.
I have to manually zoom around 1.13 and reduce pixel ratio to 0.82 every time to show correctly.
Is there any way to persist those for netflix only?

Seem more a Kodi bug, or perhaps something that not works/missing between Kodi and InputStreamAdaptive add-on
to handle this case of different aspect ratio (the NF addon not manage video streams).

FWIK this is the only thing that can be done on addon side, i have added "par" parameter to force aspect ratio to 16:9 (the streams are 16:9),
usually not needed because it should be set automatically,
this is the update test:

if not works try report the problem to Kodi devs with more info of your device/system

We have a bit of a problem with this addon. Not sure if it's a settings issue or a bug. At times, the video goes through times where it's running slightly slower, but the sound runs normally. So over time, the sound gets further and further ahead of the video, to the point where it's really unwatchable. Any suggestions? This is on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running Kodi on OSMC.

That might be device or OS specific, because I do not see these symptoms, ever.
Maybe your device does not handle software decoding that well. Hard to say without log.

Below is my Kodi log from a short session of just starting Kodi, running one Netflix stream until the sound gets way off (only takes about 20-30 seconds), then stopping the stream. I had to snip out all the startup things at the beginning, because the site won't let me post that many characters. It starts right about the point I start the Netflix addon. At the timestamp 2020-09-27 12:31:56.613, I started a Netflix show stream. At timestamp 2020-09-27 12:32:32.202 I stopped the stream. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual going on between those points in the log, other than maybe Samba connections being closed. If you see anything concerning, let me know.

So I am having an issue with the Netflix addon recently that has really gotten me stumped. i run Kodi on a Rpi and a mac mini. it is working fine on the Rpi, but on the mac mini, which is where we watch more often, it stalls on certain titles. there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. i have tried changing various parameters to sus it out, but to no avail. something I did got one show to play and then it stopped. most recently I deleted my kodi folder from my application support folder to sort of start over and just installed the netflix addon, and have copied the log file to pastebin here:
https://pastebin.com/UPrjvND2
I have come to this thread many time and have been able to work out most issues, but this seems to be specific to my mac mini.
this is my first time posting here, please let me know if i have screwed it up.
thanks,
Beefpitas

Atreyu · 2020-09-28, 06:31

@mikefreeman please do not post logs directly on the forum. Use something like pastebin.
Furthermore, make sure debugging is on and only post full logs.

Also, I would recommend testing with _only_ relevant addons to avoid issues resulting from other installs.

What resolution is the content being played?
Pi 3B models, from previous posts, appear to perform worse when playing content above 720P.

sorry about that. i haven't used pastebin before. here's the kodi one. I pasted my log and hit save. It looks liket it sort of complied the text at least.

lets try this one:

@beefpitas - you have a banned addon (wiki) repo installed on your device, which will preclude support here whilst it's in place:

Good evening, all.

I run Kodi on an OSMC Vero 4K+. I have a long-standing issue with this add-on, which is that it doesn't display subtitles correctly when the output resolution is set to 480p.

The top line of each subtitle displays correctly, but the second line is displayed more than half way up the screen and displaced to the left, instead of where it should be.

Playing a 480p DVD rip with .SRT subtitles doesn't exhibit the same problem; it's specific to the Netflix add-on.

Setting the output resolution to 1080p or 2160p fixes the problem, but it also doesn't look very good, as the player's upscaling is rather poor.

Some debug logs:

it is a old Kodi bug, not solvable by the add-on

you could try to Enable "Disable WebVTT subtitle" from expert setting, to see if can workaround the problem
but this may delete some languages tracks from subtitles

That helped, thanks. Only remaining issue with subtitles is that it messes up italics - if a single world is supposed to be italicised in the middle of a sentence, then instead it italicises everything from the beginning of the subtitle up to the end of that word. But I can live with that.

Unrelated: It seems unlikely that I'm the first person to notice this, but in case I am: the latest Widevine download breaks version 1.9.1 of the plug-in. (It's easy enough to work around by going back to an earlier Widevine build, of course).
