beardie79 · 2019-08-06T10:09:08Z

I had the same behavior.

Dnkhatri · 2019-08-06T16:18:02Z

Does the netflix app work for you

wintuxx · 2019-08-06T16:26:51Z

The native Netflix app works without problems.

chrmat · 2019-08-06T16:52:39Z

I have the same problem. The netflix kodi addon that uses inputstream does no longer work on Nvidia Shield TV running Android Pie . I have managed to start the video by manually selecting the lowest quality videostream. As soon as i select a higher quality stream the problems stated by others above happens.

@peak3d regarding the tests we've made CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#152 it seems we're facing a decrypting issue.

So either we're sending bad data to InputStream, or it's not compatible with Android Pie.

Can you help us to understand the root cause of the issue? Is it on you side or on our (Netflix Add-on)?

Thank you!

CastagnaIT · 2019-08-10T16:37:55Z

an old caphm reponse say:
The ffmpeg video-decoder used by Kodi does not support cryptosessions,
Switch to a different decoder/player backend to enable encrypted video streams
asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix#424

maybe updating ffmpeg?
xbmc/xbmc#16461
better wait and try again after update

Smeulf · 2019-08-10T19:52:13Z

@CastagnaIT ffmpeg is not involved with Android. It's pure API calls to the OS (Source Kodi IRC chat with @lrusak)

I send a request to NVIDIA to support investigating the issue. Unfortunately I'm out of ideas why the returned playback widevine license does not lead to the expected DRM licensing workflow.

Dnkhatri · 2019-08-15T10:15:30Z

Nvidia has just released a hotfix for shield. Could someone try it and check if it fixes the inputstream plugin. As they have mentioned the fixing of streaming apps.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/feed/305747/shield-experience-upgrade-80-hotfix-image/

From the changelog
" For the first issue with Streaming apps failing to play, please:

Install the ota.
Start anyone of the streaming apps that failed to play for you.
Restart SHIELD.
Start the streaming app again.

#2 should fail and then schedule a cleanup of the corrupt secure storage files at the next reboot (#3) and then #4 should work. "

Uukrull · 2019-08-15T12:50:31Z

Still the same.

peak3d · 2019-08-15T12:55:41Z

@Uukrull have you manually fixed the ESN? should be NFANDROID2-PRV-ANDROIDSHIELDTV-NVIDIANDROID=SHIELD=TV. The esn emitter in the current addons does not build the correct ESN, how ESN are build correctly is under investigation.

Edit: pls. remove msl_data.json after you have changed ESN, for me it seems that the plugin does not reset data properly after change.

Uukrull · 2019-08-15T13:08:50Z

That ESN doesn't work. The correct one (from the Netflix app) is NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV
but the problem is still there: only works if the Max. Resolution secure decoder is set to 480p.

peak3d · 2019-08-15T13:13:24Z

Oops, your ESN is correct, I mixed things from memory. I'm still waiting for feedback from official side.

gjm1128 · 2019-09-01T04:10:43Z

Any updates?
I hope this would be solved soon.

peak3d · 2019-09-02T10:02:17Z

Still waiting for a development android OS...

superduper99 · 2019-09-10T01:20:07Z

Quick question: what is everyone's "Decrypter path" in their Kodi Inputstream Adative general settings?

I've tried changing it, with no difference (same 480p and/or no video/sound errors as above either way). I've actually forgotten what the default one was now, so I'd be interested if someone could share. My nVidia Shield is also 8.0

Dnkhatri · 2019-09-12T02:56:53Z

Still waiting for a development android OS...

Nvidia have just released dev images for shield 8.0.0

peak3d · 2019-09-12T05:39:17Z

Thx

Dnkhatri · 2019-09-28T04:17:36Z

@peak3d do you think code from this project would help fixing the problem of no hd playback in the netflix addon or is it just spoofing the app restrictions

https://github.com/longseespace/netflix_patch

beardie79 · 2019-10-02T19:13:36Z

......and fixed. The shield update has fixed the problem. Netflix working fine now.

Skaronator · 2019-10-02T19:13:59Z

Cool thanks for the info!

SpliNTSweden · 2019-10-02T20:10:54Z

Nothing has changed for me even after the Nivida Shield update.
Everything above hevc,720x480,1792000 bps is still black..

wintuxx · 2019-10-03T17:42:26Z

After the last update videos are playing again.
I did not test which resolution

betuelrov · 2019-10-04T00:08:21Z

Nothing has changed for me also. Above 720p streams>>black screen

herbalizer404 · 2019-10-05T07:10:07Z

Same issue here even after 8.0.1shield upgrade

xnappo · 2019-10-05T14:15:16Z

For me, after one additional restart after the 8.0.1 update the Netflix Addon now plays video on both my Shields.

HOWEVER .strm files extracted from the Netflix addon that work fine on my PC do not work on my Shields.
[EDIT] Disregard - in my initial flailing I had updated the netflix plugin, and the strm format changed. Everything working again for me now.

dagwieers · 2019-10-05T14:17:41Z

Yes, updating inputstream.adaptive may require a restart of Kodi to make Widevine playback work (again). (Even if it was working just before the update). This may be problematic if inputstream.adaptive was updated in the background and the user was not aware that this happened (e.g. overnight).

betuelrov · 2019-10-05T15:58:54Z

But your shields are able to play 1080 or 4K streams?

xnappo · 2019-10-05T16:21:30Z

I can only verify 1080p is working again.

betuelrov · 2019-10-05T16:26:28Z

I tried to replicate your way and nothing, still black screen on 1080p streams. From where u update netflix plugin from official repo?

xnappo · 2019-10-05T17:41:15Z

I am using the latest version from this Git of the Netflix plugin:
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix

The one on the Asciidisco repo is very old.. The Git above is the active development and they are getting prepared to submit to the official Kodi repo (though really not sure that is a good idea myself...)

betuelrov · 2019-10-05T19:51:47Z

This exactly my installed version(0.15.3) and inputstream v2.3.22 on Kodi 18.4. No luck! 😔

Dnkhatri · 2019-10-06T02:34:23Z

I can only verify 1080p is working again.

Have you reset the shield after installing shield experience 8.0.0 or 8.0.1

herbalizer404 · 2019-10-06T19:18:42Z

Hi,
I have shield experience 8.0.1
inputstream 2.3.22
input stream helper 0.4.2
Netflix plugin 0.15.3
But ish don't find widevine, have you an idea?
Thanks

I downloaded the zip file.. But still no luck.. I do see the resolution set to 780P.. However, in the Input stream settings, I set the resolution to Manual, then during a video, under Vido options, I do soo the other resolutions upto 1080P listed.. When I select the 1080p, I get a spinning wheel icon but no picture.. Please help me here, I set the minimum bandwidth under adpative stream settings to 8000000.. But still no luck

Dnkhatri · 2019-10-09T06:21:35Z

What version of Kodi are you using

peak3d · 2019-10-09T06:49:15Z

@HATEIOS pls. Attach a kodi log, only kodi startup is required in there.

Here you go..

HATEIOS · 2019-10-09T22:16:41Z

Kodi version - 18.4- is what am using..

HATEIOS · 2019-10-09T23:12:08Z

I just figured it out.. its the KODI Leia version is the culprit.. Diwnloaded KODI 19 Alpha.. I can stream 1080P HDR videos with Dolby ATMOS.. with which I can leave on till we get an official build of 19.

The next kodi 18 nightly should also work if you want to go back to 18.5

herbalizer404 · 2019-10-10T07:10:44Z

Tried last nightly build 19 but I've a green screen with content over 720p, with esn set. Without, only 720p content is possible.

peak3d · 2019-10-10T07:14:58Z

@herbalizer404 kodi log pls.
