[HOW-TO ALL PLATFORMS]Can I use Netflix on OSMC?(post 4)

kukaburra · 16 April 2021 20:55

Np glad I could help.

LaurentD · 17 April 2021 13:17

Thanks for sharing. Tried this on my fresh Rpi4 install and Netflix 1.15.0+matrix.1 add-on installation fails (and InputStream Helper 0.5.2+matrix.1 succeeds) with the following interface and log messages.

Interface: Failed to install a dependency

Yes it seems it can’t automatically download dependencies from the official repo. So you can manually install the dependencies. Get them here: Files...

you’re gonna need a few dependencies. Look at the log to see which ones.

Good luck

LaurentD · 17 April 2021 14:07

Thanks. I’ll try this.

LaurentD · 17 April 2021 18:46

If that helps anyone else, Netflix addon installation completed after following @kukaburra first set of instructions:

sudo apt-get install python3-crypto
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -U setuptools
sudo python3 -m pip install wheel
sudo python3 -m pip install pycryptodomex

And installing manually the following addons in that order
script.module.addon.signals-0.0.6+matrix.1.zip
script.module.certifi-2019.11.28+matrix.1.zip
script.module.chardet-3.0.4+matrix.3.zip
script.module.idna-2.8.1+matrix.1.zip
script.module.urllib3-1.25.8+matrix.1.zip
script.module.requests-2.22.0+matrix.1.zip
script.module.myconnpy-8.0.18+matrix.1.zip

kukaburra · 17 April 2021 18:53

Does the app actually work for you now? Can you play videos?

joakim_s · 17 April 2021 19:28

Thank you @LaurentD for that “work”. I still haven’t had the needed time, hoping the Mrs and the kids go to bed early tonight. So I can flash the Vero4k to matrix.

The only problem is remembering all the system tweaks and scripts I’ve made over the last year. The time to flash isn’t even a third of the work. Anyway I hopefully get a chance to do all this after midnight.

joakim_s · 18 April 2021 03:17

Well, it’s just past 5 am, first draft of the updated prep-script is on github.com now.

Observe, first draft. If someone can check if it’s working in both v.18 and v.19, on clean install and upgrade. I would be very grateful.

In the script there is a check for Kodi version installed, based on that it will install and use the right pip version. Since there seems to be some ossue with auto installation of addon dependencies, i took it upon myself to install the needed addons for Netflix addon, via the script.

Good luck and let me know if i can improve something, or fork the git and PR me

GregVDS · 18 April 2021 07:56

Hi,

Thanks Joakim_s for the shellscript.

I did tried this, but at the time of the netflix add-on from local extension repo, I got an error about the update/install of one required extension, maybe the python input stream helper, which is already installed (two former attempts already on the rbp4 test image with former version of the script).

I have the correct zip for matrix, but got that required extension install failed that blocks Netflix plugin to install. All the rests of the instructions and extensions install ok though.

Greg

LaurentD · 18 April 2021 08:07

Don’t know yet. I have to put my hands back on Netflix credentials. Will keep you posted.

joakim_s · 18 April 2021 11:49

Well since i wrote this in a “dazed moment”, i found some issues and I’m working on correcting them. Initially I was checking version without a decimal, but the version check from code, leaves a decimal, which lead to the version check not working. Fixed.

Next thing I noticed today is that installation of script.module.myconnpy needs user interaction, something about python mysql components installed.

I wonder how many other of the dependencies needs interaction, well I guess an update from our supreme ruler, and this dependency issue will be gone =) But until then I’ll try to fix it as good as I can.

Edit: My reinstall on a v.19 upgrade now works, barred from having to manually reinstall mypycon, since it needs user interaction in kodi. Downloaded libwidvine and voila i got streams streaming.

Edit 2: Put a “click OK” dialog box, informing about Kodi-interaction needed, before trying to install myconnpy addon.

LaurentD · 18 April 2021 17:52

So, Netflix credentials allow successful login, and I can browse available content. However, I am getting this sticky ’ This title is not available to watch instantly’ error. I have tried a few things, notably re-installing WineCDM, to no avail. Below is the log. Not sure what to do next. Perhaps start over from the beginning and a fresh OSMC Rpi4 image? Any advice welcome.

kukaburra · 18 April 2021 19:55

I’m stuck at the same problem. Getting issues with my iptv as well. Don’t think it’s something we can easily fix ourselves easily unfortunately.

joakim_s · 20 April 2021 06:07

Just to inform you guys, next update of Matrix(test or stable) should solve the “auto install” of dependencies. Just tried a patched compile, and Netflix addon install without issues.

cOsby · 20 April 2021 09:54

My solution for this problem - “This title is not available to watch instantly”

run my second SD card with Libreelec (kodi 18.9)
photo, copy ESN number from settings addon netflix
run OSMC with Kodi Matrix
changed the number ESN to a number ESN from kodi 18.9
disable options - “enable IPC over HTTP”
save and run netflix
and half success; sound ok, screen black
go to settings InputStreamAdaptive and changed max resolutions, positions 2 and 3 to 1080p (my TV only FullHD)

And Great Success it work

kukaburra · 20 April 2021 16:00

Thank you. Managed to get netflix working. Now if only my iptv app would stop complaining about 64bit userland everything would be sorted for me ^^

chelvistero · 29 April 2021 17:36

Unfortunately I don’t get it working because I don’t have a 18.9 installation. Is there a possibility to get it working without the esn from a kodi 18.9?

Cheers chelvistero

joakim_s · 29 April 2021 22:51

This seems more like an addon issue, and would be better addressed at github.

But in short, from addon wiki on github:

This title is not available to watch instantly

In this case Netflix says to log out https://help.netflix.com/en/node/109329.
Open add-on settings and choose Logout.

If the problem persists:

On all other systems:

Try reinstall Widevine CDM:
Open add-on settings (by context menu on the add-on icon), then go to Expert page and choose InputStream Helper settings, a new window will be opened, then choose (Re)install Widevine CDM.

If these solutions do not work, please do not open an Issue, there are no other known solutions to get around this message.

So if the solutions mentioned here earlier, or the possible solutions from addon-wiki, there isn’t much to do.

hmm anyone else getting this error after the latest widevine update?

I can confirm. I have the same issue here now.
