Im on kodi omega beta2, i have the same error |
|
I have a problem that is very similar to this one, maybe it's the same thing, that's why I'm posting it here. About 2 minutes after starting a video it freezes / stops playing. If I then stop the video and try to play it again from exactly this position, then I get the error: "AMVideoEvents disabled due to exception: nf_is_ads_stream". My setup: Xiaomi TV F2 with Fire OS 7 / Kodi 21 beta 2 (Android) / Netflix add-on version 1.23.2+matrix.1 / Netflix Premium Ultra HD
|
|
I have also the same problem. When I enable HDR or Dobly Vision in options, I get "AMPlayback disabled due to exception: u'percentage". When I disable HDR/Dobly Vision, it freezes after 2minutes. Also time seeking isn't available. My System Specs : KODI 20.3 on Google TV / Android 10 (Sony Bravia). My Netflix plan is Premium. |
|
Same here! |
|
Looks like an issue with widevine. Manually setting it to 540p or lower seems to play just fine, any higher and it freezes around 2 minutes in. Kodi 20.3, CCWGTV, Premium Netflix |

Same Kodi 21beta-2 |
Same problem. |

I manage to get a 4K resolution without errors on my Google Chromecast with TV / Android 12 (Connected on Sony Bravia) I played a video for over 10 minutes without any freeze, and I can seek at specific time. Also, I get Dolby Atmos Audio. The only option that I can't get is Dobly Vision / HDR videos. KODI with an MKV (HDR10 enabled) video can play it at HDR but through Neflix Addon it was impossible to play HDR content. But I will try later to connect Google TV directly to my Denon AVC to see if I get HDR/Dolby Vision. I am not sure if the problem is on Netflix Addon or on Input Stream adaptive. On my Sony Bravia (Google TV / Android 10) that I have the problem I am on Kodi 20.3 with Inputstream Adaptive 20.3.16. KODI Version: 21.0 BETA2 (20.90.821) Input Stream 21.4.1
Netflix Addon: 1.23.2+matrix.1 (login with Auth key) I hope that it helps |
Same here |
I have the same issue on MiBox S 4k and also on another Android tv box (HAKU). Both have the same error. Playback freezes after 2 minutes. Newer releases on Netflix just give the MSLError and does not play at all. I have installed KODI Version: 21.0 BETA2 on the MiBox S 4k to test. I still get the exact same issues. Nothing changed. I also have the PriveVideo add-on installed, which also use InputStreamAdaptive and everything works without an issue. I get 4k with Dolby Atmos playback. This error started to occurr at around the middle of January. Before that, everything was fine. I also have kodi 20.3 installed on ubuntu 22.04 and there I get 1080p with Dolby Atmos playback without an issue. |

Today I tried to play again from my Google Chromecast with TV usb stick, as described in my last post. But even if yesterday worked normally, without any change on settings, I got the MSLError on some episodes. It was possible to play some episodes from other show, but they freeze after 2min. The strange is that I got MSLError on Seinfeld S09E11 but not on S01E01 (that of course freeze after 2min). Yestereday was a fresh install/login with auth key. I don't know if this affect today behaivor. KODI Version: 21.0 BETA2 (20.90.821) |

** Temporary Fix with decent looking 960x540 playback ** Tested on kodi 21 Omega beta 2. Should work for 20.3 Input Stream 21.4.1 Stream Selection Type: Fixed Resolution (*on non 4K content select the highest available) Netflix add-on settings Codecs
Playback With these settings I can still watch PrimeVideo in 4k and watch Netflix in kodi with decent looking 960x540. Not an ideal solution but it works for now. |
|
@nroets1, yes I notice that when I was playing with InputStream settings. That's I am wondering if this is InputStream or maybe ESN problem again. Maybe the random ESN dosen't work anymore. Because Google Chromecast with Google TV isn't my main KODI device I install Netflix Addon yesterday for first time (after factory reset). In less than 24h I wasn't able to play again. |
|
@tsioukas , I don't think it's an ESN error. With the ESN error, 4k was not possible at all. In my case it plays 4k but freezes after 2 minutes. For some other titles it does not play at all with anything enabled above 576p. |
|
I think the first 2 minutes are unencrypted. That's why they play fine. |
|
@CastagnaIT Do you have any idea what's going on with Netflix and this addon currently? Seems like a lot of people are not able to play 4K on Android anymore, while this used to work until about 5 days ago. People on the forum are reporting it too: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=329767&pid=3182130#pid3182130 |

@MauriceW67 hi i havent had time to try investigate on this in these days |
|
@CastagnaIT Ok, thanks. For now I will revert to using the Netflix app on my Philips TV then, since the one on my Shield is still limited to 540p because of the Netflix block 😄 |
|
Hi |
I was thinking about this update but this isn't explain Kodi 21 behaivor (even if this happened to me after 1 day as I wrote above). I hope CastagnaIT to find time to check it. Unfotunnatelly I can't go to older version on Android TV. |
|
problem is not relative to kodi versions, because all kodi versions use the same inputstream library to manage drm. the 2 minuts playback its normal because the first 2 minuts are unencrypted, i tried investigate but i have zero ideas of whats changed on netflix servers... |

Ok, DRM handling is probably involved. But the thing is: What does it still work on Linux? (with a previous kodi version). If there had been a change on Netflix servers, we should get the same behaviour on Android and Linux, shoudn’t we? There’s Google of course…I could try upgrading the kodi that runs on linux but if it’s finally linked to the kodi version, I’ll have to reinstall kodi in 20.2 😓Le 4 févr. 2024 à 12:47, Stefano Gottardo ***@***.***> a écrit :

the 2 minuts playback its normal because the first 2 minuts are unencrypted,
and so after that time the DRM cannot do the decryption and playback its ofc broken.
i tried investigate but i have zero ideas of whats changed on netflix servers...
website data looks the same as before, but device drm result in a weird error relative to initialize the drm session
i have not found any info about this error on the web

@shinguebai , I have kodi 20.3 installed on linux and it plays back netflix shows / movies at 1080p without an issue. Obviously an Android issue. |
|
@nroets |
|
nroets1 statement is right: whether or not it's due to DRM, there's no issue on Linux. |
|
I don't think it's blacklisting. The issue is with 4K content, which requires Widevine L1. Linux simply does not support 4K or Widevine L1. |
|
@MauriceW67 , it also stops playing when you limit the playback to 1080p on Android. |
1080p also requires Widevine L1 afaic |
|
This problem has been fixed. |
|
Thanks a lot! |
|
@Tallguy298 I guess for Linux the issue is solved, but on Android the addon still won't play any 4K videos. @CastagnaIT Should we open a separate issue for 4K on Android? Or should we continue in issue #1678 ? |
|
I don't think that they fixed for all. I am still have problem for both Google TV Devices Google TV (Sony Bravia) KODI Version: 20.3 and Google Chromecast with TV KODI Version: 21.0 BETA2 (20.90.821) EDIT : 1080p as MauriceW67 said played only for 2min. |
Maybe we should open another issue as you say because this one was originally opened regarding Linux OS. Still, it's interesting that the issue was finally solved on Linux but not on other platforms |
|
I confirm that the inputstreamadaptive update did nothing to resolve the issue on Android. I still have the same issue on both my TV boxes. MiBox S 4k and HAKU. |
|
Nvidia Shield 2019 the problem is not solved |
|
mi box s problem is same |
|
Also still occurring for me on Chromecast with Google TV. KODI: 20.3 |
|
Can confirm that 540p is the only resolution that works..if I implement the 540p limit workaround (i.e change ESN) to play 1080p or 2160p content..freezing occurs. Kodi 20.3, Nvidia Shield Pro, Premium Ultra HD subscription. |
|
@CastagnaIT Could you please reopen this issue (if it's the same problem), or unlock #1678 so we can move the discussion there? |
|
If this bug fixed on Linux with an update of InputStream adaptive, I think that something is wrong with that on Android TV, so I think that it's better to open an issue there (refering in this issue thread and Netflix Addon). @CastagnaIT, did you find time check it better? I missed already this addon, I hate Netflix "stupid" app :( |
