there is already a manual for that, You can find it here: http://openelec.tv/forum/128-addons/7759...=75#154806 has a few changes, but you should be able to work around those.
It is important to know it won't work on a Pi or Pi2, that's because the DRM file needed for playing the content doesn't work on ARM processors.
@knives of ice: I can confirm the instructions in that thread (opening post) worked for me. Flix2kodi is now running on OpenElec (I use the Milhouse builds) on NVidia ION hardware (Xstreamer Ultra). I did not make detailed notes but for your convenience, these are the steps I followed, with some comments where I struggled:
* Installed Chromium 6.0.4 (Step #1 in thread)
Note: I had a version on my machine already, not sure of the source. It did not have things like the ASH setting mentioned in the manual. Uninstalled it and picked up version 6.0.4 from the link in the thread, which does all the settings mentioned in the instructions.
* Installed the script.chromium_remotecontrol (Step #3 in thread)
* Installed Flix2kodi and make it use the above script to launch chromium
* Configure Chromium to use vdpau-nvidia (your mileage may vary if different HW)
Note: at this point I believe Netflix worked and played video, no audio yet. Had to enter credentials via a keyboard that I attached to my media box.
* Copy widevine from the Chrome distro for AMD64 Debian as described in Step #2 of thread
Note: I recall having difficulty finding the right folder to copy to but forgot to write it down. Can look it up if needed.
Note 2: still no audio at this point
* Configure Chromium to use custom audio
* Where it asks for a device string, enter *literally* what you see when running "aPlay -L", in my case: hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1
Note: aPlay -L shows many such entries. To figure out which one to use, check your System->Audio settings in Kodi. In my case, the name inside Kodi had HDMI #1 in the name (HDMI output, device 1)
Flix2kodi now works and I have video + audio. There is a bit of stuttering in the first minute or so (buffering?) and after that it runs well. Video and audio and in sync, which is more than I can say of the Netflix client in my Smart TV.
Remote control does not yet work for me. I think I have seen a fix for the remote control script in the thread but have not been able to test that yet.
