      @Rascas Thanks for this, poked the thread with a few at mentions.

      Just curious, Leia RC2 dropped on 12/4. Anyone know if a refresh for the RPi is coming soon as well?

        It appears like RC3 is the newest, and Kodi is nagging about that - although admitedly I don't know if it's nagging cause there is a new version for rpi, or just in general...

          @Silent It is just a warning, it is general and there is no new version available on the repo yet. The warning appears only one time, each time there is a new version, but these are still RC versions so... I will update it soon when I have some free time.

            Hi everyone,

            I just wanted to add my experience and how I got Netflix to run properly on my raspberry pi (so far). I'll just describe what I did, maybe it will help someone:

            My system:
            Raspberry PI 3 B+
            retropie 4.4
            Kodie 18.0-RC1

            I access my pi through terminal via ssh to enter the commands.

            1. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" (Optional, mine was up to date)
            2. Update the firmware of my pi "sudo rpi-update"
            3. "sudo reboot" (to activate new firmware)
            4. "sudo apt-get install python{,3}-pip"
            5. "pip install --user pycryptodomex"
            6. "sudo reboot" (don't know if this was neccessary..)
            7. download zip netflix addon from https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix
            8. put zip on sd card of raspberry pi
            9. install netflix addon from zip within kodi
            10. configure netflix-addon -> input stream addon settings -> Max. resolution secure decoder -> 720p
            11. run a movie in netflix, now it will ask to install libwidevine, confirm.
            12. "sudo apt-get install libnss3"

            Right now it works like a charm for me :D.

            The only thing not working is the "interactive part". I wanted to see the interactive black mirror movie "Bandersnatch" through the netflix plugin, but when I start the movie, it tells me it is not supported to show interactive elements on this device. I don't know if this is related to the netflix plugin, to kodi, or to my tv...Anyone has an idea how to solve this?

            Anyway, thanks for your posts everyone, it helped me to succeed with netflix running on raspberry pi!

              I believe that the netflix kodi plugin does not support it. Ask in their github page.

                I just realised many people have problems with the bandersnatch movie. It is also not working on Chromecast and Apple TV. Might be a Netflix issue as well.

                  @roadtrip111 not a Netflix issue. Just older devices/plugins don't support it. My TV included.

                          Yes maybe, but the controls are really simple, so I think it might relate more to proper implementation than to devices being too old.
                          I just watched Bandersnatch on my Laptop now. It is about an 80s retrogame based on a true story. I'm trying to get the "brataccas" rom running now in retropie, really funny connection to netflix :D.

                            @roadtrip111 yeah I meant that Netflix are not supporting older devices with the facility to watch this. Not that it wasn't possible :-)

                              There's also 'Nohzdyve' that was made available for download on the website of the show's fictional company, Tuckersoft. It was developed as an actual ZX Spectrum game, released as a .tap file and even recommended for emulation, so it should hopefully integrate well. I plan to try it out myself in the next few days.

                                    After reading several guides and reading all advices on this topic, I'm still struggling to add the Netflix and Amazon repos.
                                    Please, how can I do this?

                                        Thanks, my mistake was in the step 4.
                                        But... After installing both, only the Amazon VOD works with me.
                                        I don't know how to check logs (the only one who I can see is the "Kodi open" or something like that), so I can provide any accurate info.
                                        Again, thanks for all this awesome work.

                                          Thanks, my mistake was in the step 4.

                                            Kodi 18 released at the end of January. How long do you think it'll be before the setup script is updated?
