Should be fixed now, the PR was bad, fixed the sudo line that was messed up (not my code).
So please try again if you got time and energy to help 
ps. i got it to run locally, without errors =)

I think Widevine is the culprit here…
Yeah seems like that, have you tried the solution you posted earlier? Wasn’t previously aware of the liwudevine issue, but that’s another add on completely. I’m just glad we finally got my prep-script sorted.
My recommendation is to downgrade wide one, ignore updates till Emil reply on that issue you linked earlier.
I havent tried that solution because i dont know how to downgrade widevine… if you point me to the right directions … or i’ll stay without Netflix until wide its fixed.
The instruction is in that post, the user removed the bad lib and grabbed the old from backup. Since I sleept a few hours earlier tonight i have problem falling asleep again, it’s 3 am and wide awake so I’ll write the commands needed here:
rm /home/osmc/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so
cp /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.inputstreamhelper/backup/13020.87.0/libwidevinecdm.so /home/osmc/.kodi/cdm
After you have done that you should reboot and try Netflix addon, remember to not upgrade widevine.
That should do it,
@AndersG this might help your issue too?

Oddly did I do a quick test last night after wife was done watching “Prison Break”. I could not be bothered do I was in the basement writing C-code on a Microchip PIC24-series 
When I tried just before going to bed, without doing anything, but I noticed that OSMC said something about auto-updating… It worked as far as selecting a user and getting the UI, but I never tried watching anything. Will try again tonight.
FWIW, our new TV has Netflix built in and it has a higher wife-acceptance-factor as searching is so much easier. OTOH do I only have surround through the Vero, so I prefer that.
The problem for me is that i dont have the folder ”13020.87.0” in Backups, because i installed widevine for the first time, last night. I have only 13310.91.0. So maybe you can send me that folder, or only the file (libwidevinecdm.so). And i will replace it in my CDM folder. Replacing the file is easy. Geting the corect one is hard
So, if you are kind, send me a link with the correct version of the file (13020.87.0) please.
From a copyright stand point, i’m not comfortable with sharing copyrighted materials. Might find some link on the interwebs.

Ok. I understand. I’ll try to find ar earlier version on the web. Anyway, it seems that in a couple of hours, the error will be fixed. At least this is what Horstle said on Github. So its ok.
Thanks a lot for your help.
It appears to work, but it wants to update videvine. Let’s see what happens after that…
Theoretically it should now work, but the problem is with inputstream.helper-addon. And apperently the dont have an setup that automatically updates kodi-repository when there is an updated version of that addon buildt. But if you are in a hurry you can grabb the new addon zip here:
and install the zip.
