Ok So Kodi Netflix is working again....after I updated to 0.15.10.
A few days ago I updated to 0.15.10 from 0.14.6 when it stopped working - but still was getting "check your credentials" error message so I re-installed 0.14.6 since that was working perfectly for me. I then saw here the various comments about Netflix making changes and the fact that the Windows 10 Netflix app stopped working as well made sense. I was able to update the Netflix app and it started working again but I hate the auto-play intros among other things so I as soon as I read that a new version of plugin was available I updated. It worked! Imagine my surprise when I checked what version it updated to - 0.15.10! I probably have a very old version of CastagnaIT's plugin repo that needs to be updated (repository.castagnait v1.0.0) because it doesn't show any versions higher than 0.15.10. Who cares, plugin is working perfectly again, I even rebooted my PC to make sure it wasn't a fluke, was watching several titles yesterday, no issues. Yes, some titles are SD and any HD titles are SW rendered. If I want 1080P HW playback I can use the app. No thanks, I prefer the playback experience the plugin offers despite some of the limitations.
However if I am able to use 0.15.10 then the problem was never the plugin itself but Netflix, probably some back-end changes they made or had some problems that were fixed over the weekend.
