LIBREELEC-FLIX AND CHILL

The Netflix add-on isn’t in the official Kodi repos, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad or you shouldn’t use it (you’ll still need a Netflix account to use it so it isn’t piracy). To find the link to the repository file go to https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#quickdownload-links then save the relevant ZIP file, either by enabling SSH via the Kodi Settings and using wget or by saving it straight from your browser into one of Kodi’s Samba shares. There’s no need to unzip it.

Navigate to the Add-ons browser and select Install from Zip File. Then direct Kodi to wherever you saved the ZIP file. You’ll be told that installation from unknown sources has been disabled, and directed to Settings>Add-ons>System>Unknown sources to enable it. Do this, heeding the warning that external plugins must be manually updated.

Now return to the Add-ons browser and select Install from Repository>CastaganaIT>Video add-ons>Netflix. You’ll be prompted to install the InputStream Helper which you should do.

Now you can find the Netflix add-on in the Video-addons section, so fire it up. You’ll be prompted to install the InputStream Adaptive addon, which again you should do. You’ll see a warning about changes at Netflix, which mean that username and password verification may not work (even if you type them in correctly). We were relieved when our credentials were recognised, but if yours are not try the keyfile authentication method instead. Complete instructions can be found at the project’s GitHub at https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin. video.netflix.

When you attempt to play something you’ll be interrupted by a prompt to install the Widevine DRM libraries, and accept some more terms . One gigabyte of downloaded Chrome OS recovery image and a painless extraction later, and your media will start playing.
