"We cannot find all the required components to play Netflix on this device. Please visit chrome://components, locate the WidevineCdm component, and click the "Check for update" button."
I've done as it's asked and the component is already installed and up to date. Also if I just launch Chrome directly I can view Netflix just fine in it. It only throws this error if Chrome is launched from Kodi. Any ideas?
I think it uses a different install of Chrome; like one thats with in the Chrome Browser addon, maybe. I'm having this same problem. I was finally able to figure out how to get to "Chrome://components" on the addon's chrome but when i clicked on the link to update WidevineCdm, it never completed the update. I forgot to try again later
The Netflixbmc plugin by default uses a separate chrome user-data-dir to keep the control plugin and injected cookies separate from the main system. I thought the extensions in this should auto-update, but perhaps not in all cases.
To try a quick fix, could you copy copy the WidevineCDM folder from your system chrome user-data dirdir:
https://www.chromium.org/user-experience...-directory
to the netflixbmc one:
<kodi userdata dir>/addon_data/plugin.video.netflixbmc/chrome-user-data/
where <kodi userdata dir> is described here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata
Let me know how this goes.
