Netflix plugin stopped working

AndersG · 1 October 2020 16:29

Yes. I get all that. I see the background stuff starting and I am not connecting through a VPN. This is what ends up in thoe log:

My gut feeling is that there seem to be an error in the name resolution on your end, searched the addons issue tracker and others had the same problem but always resolved it by changing the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (googles dns service).

AndersG · 1 October 2020 16:36

OK. But here stuff differs. Ie after running your script, there is no “repository.castagnait-1.0.1.zip”, instead I have “plugin.video.netflix.zip” and select that. Then there is no CastagnaIT repository?

Edit: Changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 makes no difference. May I add that Netflix used to work before

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 16:42

Seems i got to check out the script then, should have downloaded the repository. Will do that in 1-2 hors from now. I’m the family laundry-slave, and i got the community laundry room booked to 19.00. But I will try to look at this between running machines.

You might want to remove the old, automation script and try again?
Ssh into your osmc-device and run these commands:

rm netflix_prep_install.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zjoasan/netflix-install-script/master/netflix_prep_install.sh chmod +x netflix_prep_install.sh
chmod +x netflix_prep_install.sh

AndersG · 1 October 2020 16:45

joakim_s:

rm netflix_prep_install.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zjoasan/netflix-install-script/master/netflix_prep_install.sh chmod +x netflix_prep_install.sh
chmod +x netflix_prep_install.sh

OK. Unfortunatelty did someone just monopolise the TV, running the netflix that came with the TV, but I pastted in your commands:

osmc@osmc:~$ rm netflix_prep_install.sh

When running, I see:

netflix-repo.zip: Permission denied
./netflix_prep_install.sh: line 37: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 16:56

Hmm strange there is nothing that should have messed up the file permissions like that, looking in the script. Did you run it as osmc user in the owmc user home folder?

Just ran it on my system without errors, but i found a weakness in the script, if you had downloaded the netflix_repo.zip once it farks up.

Changed that behavior, and if you delete the last downloaded netflix_prep_install.sh, and download it again and run it, it should work, the problem i saw was that i renamed the download, but never the “check for older version”.

Thanks again @AndersG

angelitto · 1 October 2020 21:23

I tried installing with script metod. After that, libwidvine installed but there is an error. When i press play nothing happens. I see up-right the name of the movie for a second and then nothing.

What i did wrong?

When you first start a video in netflix plugin, it will notice you dont have libwidvine installed and help you install it. (takes a while, will download an image and extract the latest liwidvine, and install it. Let it run as root, when it asks)

Maybe here is the problem? I didnt saw any questions about ROOT.

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 23:19

There was an pull request to my script about inputstream adaptive, installed from debiann. I ignored it, since I thought it came pre-installed in Osnc.

Before I add it to the script, would you @angelitto mind try this at ssh-shell:

sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive

Thanks

But it does not look like kodi-inputstream-adaptive is the correct name.

Thats i get.
But are you sure that the error its about ”Input Stream Adaptive” Because its installed and its 2.4.5 version.

I think, when i installed the script, i saw ”Permission denied”, or something like that. Maybe i should manual install all these again?

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

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 23:42

Thanks for eliminating that. Thought as much, there is such a package for x86, and but on armhf it’s bundled with other kodi binaries.

I will have to do a clean install and get to the bottom of this.

Thanks @angelitto

Widevine broken on update: x86 lib on ARM

opened 09:33PM - 01 Oct 20 UTC

closed 02:21PM - 02 Oct 20 UTC

amateusz

bug arm widevine

Hi, I think automatic update has just broken my setup. I'm on Raspberry Pi 2,… OSMC `4.19.122-1-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 27 07:09:59 UTC 2020 armv7l` OSMC `VERSION_ID="2020.06-1"` --- I started [some DRM-dependent plugin](https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix), I was asked to update Widevine so I did let it finish; it did so nicely (I checked if there is enough disk space prior). Then I couldn't play the video. I checked the logs (`~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log`) and it was complaining for _something Widevine_ - I don't have this log unfortunatelly. Kodi rotates them so quickly (?) But here is what I noticed: ``` ~/.kodi$ file cdm*/libwidevinecdm.so cdm_bak/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=2790b672c54a8c529f679751324dd48b323f3d0b, stripped cdm/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=7b1ce3ce3c0d0ee6591e1cf2d6cdc61de62c2178, stripped ``` I'm not sure how your folder structure works, but contents of `backup` folder are like this: ``` ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.inputstreamhelper/backup$ file */libwidevinecdm.so 12739.111.1/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=b0096d0863ff56a0b62a3e33f20a8b5dcb029060, stripped 13020.67.0/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0518f32c249a91d353237a2712aa9264ec8a8f6a, stripped 13020.82.0/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0518f32c249a91d353237a2712aa9264ec8a8f6a, stripped 13020.87.0/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0518f32c249a91d353237a2712aa9264ec8a8f6a, stripped 13310.91.0/libwidevinecdm.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=7b1ce3ce3c0d0ee6591e1cf2d6cdc61de62c2178, stripped ``` My guess is that the update process got it wrong and downloaded the x86 version instead of the ARM one. I manually replaced one of the ARM backups into `.kodi/cdm/` and now it works

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 23:45

Shouldn’t need to do that, if you ran the script, the problem probebly a cured later. The only warnings I got when I ran the script earlier tonight, was locale errors.

angelitto · 1 October 2020 23:48

Ok. So i guess i will wait for you to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks for your help.

I found the error, i was talking about:

./netflix_prep_install.sh: line 38: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

sam_nazarko · 1 October 2020 23:54

We already have inputstream adaptive in OSMC. It just needs enabling

joakim_s · 1 October 2020 23:58

You too? Anders had that issue, found the culprit in the script I thought.

But now I think I got it give a few minutes and I’ll fix it.

angelitto · 2 October 2020 00:01

Ok, i hope you’ll fix it.
BTW, these are the lines i see there:

if [ -f “./netflix-repo.zip” ]; then
if [ -f “./netflix-repo.zip.old” ]; then
rm netflix-repo.zip.old
fi
mv netflix-repo.zip netflix-repo.zip.old
