Thank you for your hard work always!

I have a suggestion for times like these: similar to the Amazon VOD add-on have an option to use the native Android app. Because then we could still use Kodi as always and whenever there is an issue with the add-on it would automatically open the movie/episode inside the Android app. 

Maybe it's not too complicated and you like the idea?

Thank you either way!

sorry for the double post, I hadn't seen this.

So let me put this here:
is it possible to play Netflix content with the Netflix app as an external player through playercorefactory.xml?
I would configure a location for my .strm files and everything playing from that location (i.e. \\nas\netflix\blabla.strm) is directly opened and played with the Netflix app.

The Amazon Prime addon offers something similar, only it doesn't use playercorefactory.xml, but some internal feature.
But it does use the Prime Video app to directly play content.
So you can still use your Kodi library and it will play the movie/show in the Prime app.
The only drawback is that you have to close the app every time you're done playing.

What does this have to do with the playercorefactory.xml?
The Amazon Addon must use some mechanism similar to the playercorefactory.xml.
So shouldn't it work as well?
How would I configure that?

Something like the one below (this doesn't work, as I imagine I must add some sort of parameter like $1 or some such):

##
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="Netflix" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.netflix.ninja</filename>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filename=".*strm.*" player="Netflix"/>
</rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
##

If this works, we can use the playercorefactory as a workaround when Netflix makes changes.
