v18 Problem with netflix addon (ubuntu 16 + kodi 18)
#1
Hi, Im trying to use netflix addon on my Kodi18 (installed on ubuntu 16) Im able to log into netflix but Im not able to play any title (when I try to play a movie or tv show it seems to try but it gives an error.

I have installed and activated the input stream adaptative plugin (had to manually install 2.xxx version because apt-get repo just had the 1.039 version) and the widevine lib, also had to install pip and cryptome (with cryptodomex because of the link error) .

windwvine :
ls -la /home/kodi/.kodi/cdm/
total 7816

have you tried software decoding? If I try to play a Netflix stream with DXVA enabled I also got an error.
