hello,
I am trying to install netflix addon on kodi, my current version is 17.8-396, I read that netflix works only on kodi v18, so I tried to follow this [TESTING] Kodi 18 (Leia) builds for Raspberry Pi , but I can’t find the v18 there.
Did I miss something?
thanks,
ah ok. Then the netflix addon should work on it, right?
I have this error when I try to play a video.

Hi @v0l
I’m not sure about the error message you get, perhaps @joakim_s can help you with that, but I got the Netflix addon from
Mark
tested the addon from this repo as well and I got a different error

This thread may provide clues.
If you followed that guide(alternatively used the installerscript) you should have a working netflix. Did you get asked for credentials? Did you get asked to install Libwidvine?
“For Pi’s you got to run in MMAL, omxplayer will not work.” quoted from the Netflix install thread.
got it, disabling omxplater hw support it works.
thanks
