Does anyone know how to get Netflix video playback by disabling the hardware acceleration settings? I don't like to use the hardware acceleration settings because I like to have access to the brightness and contrast within Kodi. I have hardware acceleration disabled for my other video add-on and which work fine, but with the Netflix add-on I only get a still image with the audio playing in the background when the hardware acceleration settings are turned off.
Can anyone help me out?

New add-on release (1.16.2) for Kodi 19 Matrix, is available from today
This release include some changes to have HD resolutions, in particular way for all ARM devices like RPI and similars,
that before was not working correclty, or was not working at all, resulting in only SD video.
In order to obtain HD resolutions correctly, you must check to have InputStream Adaptive add-on to version 2.6.18 or above
will usually update automatically, if not, update it.
Please note: for some Kodi distributions (like LibreELEC, CoreELEC, OSMC, etc...) it is possible that the new version of InputStream Adaptive add-on, is not yet available, so you will have to wait for their release.

I am on Matrix and while this addon did work at one time I now get login errors. I have tried version 14.xxxx and version 16.1 and 16.2 nothing works. I have logged into my account from the Netflix website to double check my username and password. I cannot figure this problem out or how to create the authentication key.
Would someone help me please....
Thanks

Hi.
I was using this add-on for a long time, and it was working flawlessly until some time ago.
I think it's related to latest update of Kodi (I'm on 19.1 now).
I'm using Netflix plugin 1.16.2+matrix1.
"Synchronize the watched status of the videos with Netflix" in on.
When I go directly to Netflix plugin and play from there, Netflix status is updated (episodes appear in Netflix history/viewing activity), but Kodi library (f.e. In progress TV shows) is not updated.
When I play Netflix item from Kodi library, it is not synced back to Netflix history...
Is there a way to have it all?

Is there any way to set a separate view type for movies and TV shows genres menus?
They appear to be linked to other menus. When I change TV Genres view type, it also changes Recently added/Popular/Top picks etc to the same.
And Movies Genres is missing some view type options

Thanks for the response. I assumed that 23.976 was interchangeable with 24, but maybe that is my problem. The other Inputstream Adaptive videos also use 23.976 fps. Is Netflix exactly 24 fps instead? I have both 23.976 and 24 whitelisted, but I have never seen 24 hz used and in fact, I don't see it as an option when I look at choices on the Shield.
Edit:. I've found a "show" on Netflix titled "Test Patterns". Season 1 lists a bunch of different framerates for videos and I've tried a few:
23.976, 25, and 59.94 all had a frame skip within the first minute. I only played close attention to the time on the 59.94 hz video and it was around 57 seconds. My impression was that the other videos were similar.
The 24 fps video would not play.
I have not tried any beyond these 4 yet.

Hi i have problem on
LibreELEC 9.2.6
Raspberry 4
Netflix add (1.12.4 - 1.12.6)
Video play does not star
- on first try: i see for one second on top a triangle(playing) and name of video - video play does not start
- on second try: time string jumps to center for a second - video play does not start
Maybe my Raspberry pi 4 is dying? But mp4 playing by notwork works us usual.
Maybe Netflix is blocking Linux video play? But on Ubuntu it works
Maybe i need ChromeOS update - but it does not start on video try playing...
