WARNING!
CURRENTLY A UNCLEAR CHANGE IN THE NETFLIX WEBSITE SERVER (COLD BE A SERVER BUG)
IS DOWNGRADING ESN CODES, BY FORCING THEM TO GET LOW 540P RESOLUTION !
ON ANDROID -- READ CAREFULLY !!!
AT MOMENT, USING/COPYING THE full-length ESN code (with the last 64 characters) OF YOUR DEVICE, IN THE KODI ADD-ON,
WILL DOWNGRADE ALSO THE ORIGINAL ANDROID APP TO 540p LOW-RES,
for an unknown period of time.
So if you have set your device full-lenght ESN code to the addon,
edit immediately the addon ESN code by removing the last 64 characters,
this will prevent to downgrade to 540p the original app,
but you will have 540p on the addon.
If you have already experienced this problem on the original Android app, and you are stuck to 540p resolution
everywhere report it to Netflix Support immediately,
there are currently no known solutions because the root of the problem comes from Netflix,
so reinstalling the android app or restoring the device firmware does not solve the problem,
at least not for now (tested on NVIDIA Shield 2019 android device).
ON OTHER OPERATIVE SYSTEMS
LIKE WINDOWS, LINUX, COREELEC, LIBREELEC ETC...
Here there are not so big problems, to get again the HD for a limited period of time go to
add-on Expert settings, ESN/Widevine settings, and select Reset ESN.
I am currently working on a kind of workaround to get HD resolutions,
that if it works will be available in the next few days,
but i remember that this will not solve the problem on the original android app.
I will update the post for future updates on the situation
