Hi,
i got the same problem, but it is not a issue from netflix addon.
it is an issue from inputstream i think.

peak3d/inputstream.adaptive#293

The Amazon Inputstream addon still works for me after the Shield 8.0 update but like everyone else the Netflix addon no longer works.

Smeulf · 2019-08-06T21:37:33Z

killed

Stalls on loading

no longer works

That's not a very large description of the problem. Any error message? How does it behave?
How is it broken?

Please can someone install "DRM Info" and tell us what is Windevine CDM Security Level?

Can you provide debug logs with no extra component logged for now?

What's your setup regarding VP9 and HEVC?

Help us so we can help you. Without logs and proper description of the issue, there's no way we can understand the problem!

HDGuy · 2019-08-07T01:13:55Z

I'm surprised you guys don't have a Shield, as it's probably one of the most used platforms for Kodi.

In any event:

Widevine CDM Security Level- L1

As far as VP9 and HEVC I've tried it every possible combination. Enabled and disabled, same result.

For some reason for 4k content I only get 720x480p, even if I set it to manual I only have the 480p stream available (DD+ w/Atmos still works). For all other content (1080p and lower) it just buffers endlessly. Worked perfectly fine on Oreo before the Pie upgrade.

I will provide a log later.

xnappo · 2019-08-07T01:37:10Z

I think this is everyone with Shield and 8.0 starting at post 1399 here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=329767&page=94

I also tried every combination of settings, playback just results in endless starting playback symbol (skin dependent). If I set playback steam to manual, the very lowest setting does play(480p). Amazon plugin still works fine.

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T01:57:14Z

@xnappo did you try to play a Netflix video on that log? I can't see any call to the play method...

xnappo · 2019-08-07T02:30:07Z

I thought the same thing :) I will try again.

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T06:33:11Z

peak3d/inputstream.adaptive#293

@Smeulf please look in my log I posted in the link above.

I have tried everything, but nothing let kodi play the Netflix video stream.

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T12:51:29Z

@wintuxx is it the log where the busy wheel stays on screen?

In the issue you opened at InputStream, you're referring to hardware acceleration.

Is it OMXPlayer and MMAL ? If so, can you please try disabling OMXPlayer and keep MMAL only?

Also in Kodi settings, player, it seems you have the refresh rate adjustment enabled (I may read the log wrong). Can you try to disable it?

There's no obvious error in the log, so for now pretty hard to tell where the problem is :/

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T12:58:30Z

Also @wintuxx, did you try disabling HEVC profiles? Enable VP9?

/!\ do not enable both HEVC and VP9 the same time.

Dnkhatri · 2019-08-07T15:24:56Z

Also @wintuxx, did you try disabling HEVC profiles? Enable VP9?

/!\ do not enable both HEVC and VP9 the same time.

Shield does not support vp9 ver2 hardware acceleration so that didn't work even before the update

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T15:37:17Z

And what about H264?

xnappo · 2019-08-07T18:55:07Z

If I understand the question, I do not have H265 enabled, so should be H264.

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T18:58:44Z

yes

i will provide later new logs ... i will try all above options once with a single log for every option.

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T19:22:08Z

@Smeulf

Kodi 18.3 fresh install
kodi.log
no settings changed (netflix question 4K: no, because I have only a 1080p TV)

In Kodi 18.3 there are no OMX and MMAL option in the player settings. Only MediaCodece(Surface) and MediaCodec . They both were active.

if i open a netflix video the busy wheel stays on screen.

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T19:29:34Z

@wintuxx in your fresh install, you have VP9 enabled, I think it can explain the "ERROR: CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::AddData error(-10000)" message.

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T19:30:45Z

okay. i have a look.
wait i post its log without any other changes than disable vp9

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T19:33:48Z

@wintuxx no problem :) Thanks for helping and trying for me.

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T19:36:09Z

it is also in my interest to know why the netflix addon does not work on my shieldtv
here the log
only VP9 deactivated
but no video and the busy wheel stays

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T20:03:38Z

Ok, I hate that error, 'cause for now I can't understand where it come from.

Can you please try: (don't post logs unless the "ERROR: CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::AddData error(-10000)" has disapear please)

Enable only MediaCodece(Surface)
Enable only MediaCodec
Disable both MediaCodecs (Pretty sure it won't work but worth a try)

If it still don't works, I'd like you to try with Kodi 18.1. Disable Kodi auto update in the PlayStore, and install this APK: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm64-v8a/kodi-18.1-Leia-arm64-v8a.apk (hopefully it's the right one), same tests with MediaCodecs, all enabled, only one by one, and none.

Can someone lend me a Shield box ? :D kidding but would be so usefull...

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T20:22:30Z

VP9 in netflix settings disabled
Enable only MediaCodece(Surface) no video, no sound
Enable only MediaCodec no video, no sound
Disable both MediaCodecs no video, but sound

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T20:34:38Z

a fresh install with 18.1 no changes

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T20:35:11Z

For the record, the error looks very similar to this one #98 where we concluded a firmware issue was the root cause.

Doesn't mean we won't eventually find a way to make it work.

robofunk · 2019-08-07T21:03:27Z

I'm tempted to do a factory reset because that seems to have solved people's issues with the Official Netflix app and the Android Pie, but I can live without this add-on in the meantime.

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T21:14:50Z

@wintuxx @xnappo can you both please try with a trailer? Use context menu on a popular tv show and select 'trailers'.

I'll explain why later ^^

Smeulf · 2019-08-07T21:23:07Z

@robofunk I was about to ask someone to do a factory reset. If you try, please keep us posted. But I fear it won't solve the issue... Worth a try, if you don't have much to loose.

M2k80 · 2019-08-07T21:43:32Z

maybe a logcat can help to see what happens...
i would give one, but actually on my shield when try to play a vid on netflix complete kodi is crashing. this began since i tried the some different setting in the netflix app, before it was like it discribed above here

wintuxx · 2019-08-07T21:58:29Z

The Trailers are running.
Tried different series

xnappo · 2019-08-07T21:59:39Z

@Smeulf Will try trailers when home - but agree seems the same as #98 - I get the same no video with audio playing seen there with both mediacoders are disabled.

someone can tell me if by using this esn: NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV or else: NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD 4k is working? what file is the esn saved in the addon settings if it is easy to add remove I am wiling to try — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

CastagnaIT · 2019-10-25T13:24:14Z

@M2k80 i need to know if is working by using one of the two esn mentionated before

Dnkhatri · 2019-10-25T13:43:51Z

With file editing the settings I got 4k in both. Do i need to enter manually.

CastagnaIT · 2019-10-25T13:52:11Z

do not modify the esn manually by editing file!!
break the configuration with the server make wrong request
these tests are not useful

peak3d · 2019-10-25T14:41:27Z

@CastagnaIT NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV works with 4K.

For sure you can edit settings.xml manually, but you'll have to erase msl_data.json ( for asciidisco addon ) and restart kodi after editing.
Best is to edit / erase when kodi is not running.

CastagnaIT · 2019-10-25T14:53:07Z

thanks so now can understand what kind of changes to do to fix the automatic esn generation

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-11T16:48:53Z

Since everything is resolved, it's time to close the issue

M2k80 · 2019-11-11T18:22:34Z

@CastagnaIT but autodetection of ESN is still not working

Since everything is resolved, it's time to close the issue

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-11T18:45:05Z

better explained with examples

M2k80 · 2019-11-11T21:43:15Z

shield on pie will be autodetected with NFANDROID2-PRV-T-L3-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV" but it should be NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV
so you still need to enter the esn manually to get it working.
kodi 18.4 latest nightly and Netflix plugin 0.15.8
deleted folder userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.netflix and started kodi and configured the plugin, stream start with SD quality - checked automaticly set esn and its NFANDROID2-PRV-T-L3-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV - changed it manualy to NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV - 4k working again.
so autodetection is still not working

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T08:20:37Z

i need you save the list of configuration taken from the command "getprop" (with e.g. material terminal) in a file and send this to me

M2k80 · 2019-11-12T16:01:30Z

hey, send you an email with my getprop

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T16:22:08Z

ro.nrdp.modelgroup is missing in your device
are you using custom rom or rooted?

M2k80 · 2019-11-12T16:57:15Z

none of both, i am completely stock. and the problem with not working autodetection is for all shield since pie update.
just did a look at my huawei p30 pro and there this entry is missing too

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T17:14:32Z

do you can send me the getprop from huawei p30 pro?
and write also the ESN that working on p30

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T18:47:10Z

the esn of the P30 is generated exactly the P30 has no "tv" in "characteristics"

I could give it a try in this way, but i don't know if it could work with other devices,
you'd have to make a comparison

so, taken the ro.product.model and remove all spaces in order to obtain the missing text
NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV
before taken from ro.nrdp.modelgroup

M2k80 · 2019-11-12T19:07:43Z

before breaking others, wouldnt it be easier to hardcode the esn for the shield on pie and greater, so if it detect pie and nvidia shield, esn will be fixed set to this NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV and for all others the detection stays like it is?

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:12:30Z

it would be the easiest way but if possible we need to better understand the situation

peak3d · 2019-11-12T19:14:41Z

The asciidisco master branch has an "enhanced" esn detection, which handles the empty modelgroup.
https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix/blob/master/resources/lib/NetflixSession.py#L2115

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:20:29Z

yes basically is same thing that i described above
but it's wrong implemented
breaks esn generation into L3 devices

peak3d · 2019-11-12T19:22:35Z

L3 devices with modelgroup not set?
Question is if there is a correct implementation without having DRM level on hand at the time esn is generated

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:27:53Z

asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix@a459b04#diff-e2a92efc40c3d710b84e78cca2e8dfbfR2110

in line 2110 check if there is the model in my smartphone the model exists
so instead to use T-L3- append the model name

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:37:03Z

i can change the code in this way:

esn = ('NFANDROID2-PRV-' if has_product_characteristics_tv else 'NFANDROID1-PRV-')
if has_product_characteristics_tv :
   if nrdp_modelgroup:
         esn += nrdp_modelgroup + '-'
   else:
        esn += model.replace(' ', '').upper() + '-'
else:
    esn += 'T-L3-'

this way should be more suitable

peak3d · 2019-11-12T19:41:43Z

Makes sense. B.t.w. there is an intent xchange of ESN for devices, where netflix is pre-installed. One fires an intent to the netflix app, and the app fires then an intent with the full esn. Unfortunately there is no kodi python api for this.

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:45:06Z

that would be great yes...in this case we can't interface directly

peak3d · 2019-11-12T19:47:17Z

I'll look at this next, there are some other things in the pipeline first.

CastagnaIT · 2019-11-12T19:50:58Z
