@CastagnaIT : Certainly I understand if this will be a drain on your time & resources. 
But if this rework was to be done , Could you kindly just give me some pointers as to what , where & how . I will then try & pitch this to some experienced coder who might be able to have a look at this .
Many thanks

in my signature there is a link to the source code
and ofc there is Wiki, some little suggestions:
- The development guidelines, mandatory to follow: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.vid...philosophy
- Some info about addon specifications: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.vid...basic-info
- The files upgrade_controller.py / upgrade_actions.py can be used to place the code for a library migration system on addon startup

there are many files involved clearly is impossible explain everything because it would require the writing of many pages
like everyone else you will have to learn to study how works the source code and Kodi addon interface

Same Problem here, Win 11, same graphics. Widevine 4.10.2391.0 works sometimes for 1 hour or more, 4.10.2449.0 crashes after minutes. Clearing caches sometimes helps to watch more than just minutes. Sometimes kodi crashes while starting stream, only reboot seems to help then...
Maybe Win11 sucks and widevine gets worse with every newer release, i hope they will fix it.

Can anyone help with this?

Kodi 19.4 on Win 11 Pro 21H2 22000.613. 32GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics

Kodi started repeatedly crashing to windows after 20 to 40 mins use from 1st May. This is while using the NetFlix addon - the system is rarely used except for NetFlix so it is unknown whether it is specific to this addon. The windows event viewer suggests widevinecdm.dll is the cause and I wonder if it was updated at about that time. I was going to revert to an earlier version but I am not sure where widevinecdm.dll come from.


Debug log 1:- https://paste.kodi.tv/uhuwuwicug.kodi
I have a second debug log which is too large to post on paste.kodi.tv

I noticed that the ordinary log files always ended with a bunch of warnings about audio sync errors. I have no idea if that is relevant (there was no audible desynchronisation) but I have posted 3 of these in case it helps.

https://paste.kodi.tv/owegaqapaw.kodi
https://paste.kodi.tv/idulusosal.kodi
https://paste.kodi.tv/qateyanafo.kodi

Each of the crashes corresponds to a windows event log error:-

Faulting application name: kodi.exe, version: 19.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x624f826e
Faulting module name: widevinecdm.dll, version: 4.10.2449.0, time stamp: 0x605c11af

I am going to try dropping back to netflix 1.18.4

Same Problem here, Win 11, same graphics. Widevine 4.10.2391.0 works sometimes for 1 hour or more, 4.10.2449.0 crashes after minutes. Clearing caches sometimes helps to watch more than just minutes. Sometimes kodi crashes while starting stream, only reboot seems to help then...

@Sholander Hi, do you have a netflix addon on Kodi Nexus? I tried to install it and it crashes right away :/

[Sholander]

Yes, just yesterday it got updated to this version: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.vid...trix.1.zip.
It works OK on FireStick 4k with latest "Maven's Kodi-Builds für FireTV" (found here https://repo.kodinerds.net/index.php?act...meabi-v7a) , as did all prior versions. Never had any significant problem with this addon on FireStick...

@Sholander strange. I installed exactly this version. After installing the crash Kodi back to system but the addon is installed. When I run Kodi again and try to run the Netflix addon, Kodi crashes again ... I have Kodi on Google TV (Sony Bravia TV).

[CastagnaIT]

the current release of Kodi Nexus alpha 1 include a bugged python library that make crashes kodi in different situations
you will have to install last Nexus nightly build to have the fix

On which exact Kodi Nexus version are you installing latest NF addon? Try with latest "Maven's Kodi-Builds für Android - 77.64 MB" from the link above.

@CastagnaIT  Thank you, with last Nexus nightly build it works.

@Sholander  problem solved, i used Kodi v20 (Nexus) Pre-release Builds, and that not work correctly... so i install last Nightly builds and everything work now... I have last problem with PlexKodiConnect , because when i instal repository repository.plexkodiconnect.Kodi-Matrix.STABLE or BETA, I can't get in then ... do you have experience with this addon on Kodi Nexus?

[Sholander]

No, but shouldn't you install Kodi_Nexus version instead of Kodi-Matrix?
And just to mention, the build I suggested to you (net.kodinerds.maven.kodi20.armeabi-v7a-202205210252-bf1cd1aa-Nexus.apk) has all patches for DV, which official nightlies don't have, as I understand...

@Sholander ok thanks, i use maven kodi build but still no change... i cant find Kodi nexus version for this addon. Only this information on github https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect - "Preliminary support for Kodi 20 Nexus. Keep in mind that development for Kodi Nexus has not even officially reached alpha stage - any issues you encounter are probably caused by that". Maybe is there some beta version but i cant find it :/

In the end, I found the PKC version with the necessary dependencies in the correct versions and I managed to install everything manually, as it is written here https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/issues/1815. However, at startup I only got the message that "This version of Kodi is unsupported", which contradicts what is written in the above link, although the last Nexus nightly from the time the bug was fixed is of course a different version than now ... so in this for a while, the Nexus is probably still useless for me ...

Problem was solved with new version PlexKodiConnect addon 3.6.14 and evereything works now

UPDATE INFORMATION - New add-on update and new repository

In next days, will be released new add-on versions:
for Kodi 18 - v1.12.11
for Kodi 19 - v1.18.7
which will bring with it some changes.

The most important is that the repository has been changed
then the old repositories, for Kodi 18 and 19, has been deprecated,
and will no longer receive future add-on updates (this will be the last).

To make this repository migration easy,
Netflix add-on will take care of automatically updating the "CastagnaIT repository" add-on to the new version 2.0,
so you don't have to do anything.

As confirm, you can check the version of the "CastagnaIT repository" through the Kodi add-ons browser,
by checking if the version installed is the v2.0.0 (OFC when the add-on will be updated)

If for some reason the repository update not happens, or you want download the new repository,
you can find the new links in the Add-on Github readme:
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.vid...n--updates
