netflix addon for kodi 17?

Hi, trying to install the following Netflix addon from plugin.video.netflix/releases/tag/0.12.7 from asciidiscoonto my LibreElec installation because my old Samsung SmartTv Netflix app doesn't support the subtitles option which I need (i can always hook up my laptop to view Netflix via hdmi cable but this process is getting annoying).

Here is my configuration :

Modified HP ChromeBox (x86_64 Celeron 2955U) with LibreELEC 8.2.x includes Kodi 17.x

A Netflix account.

asciidisco reports his netflix addon is not compatible with kodi 17 - only kodi 18 as per this github issue because of Widevine decrypting not available in kodi 17.

How soon will a stable release of Kodi 18 be available? Will it include the needed Widevine? Is there another way using Kodi v18 (Leia) ? Thanks.

Yes, you could install the milhouse nightly builds which are very close to Kodis master branch. But you have to be aware, that Kodi in those builds are in a very early Alpha-state and things might break from time to time. If you are fine with that, then feel free to download the specific update file ...

for x86 hardware from here: LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)

for RaspberryPi from here: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0)

Although it's basically true I'm not a fan of the typical "when it's ready" Kodi answer. First alpha milestone for v18 is scheduled for April but (caveat) has already moved once and could shift again. So current guesstimate on a stable release is a few months after first alpha.

I use netflix on the nightly’s happily. Sometimes netflix addon gives error on connecting but reinstalling/reupdate has always resolved this. And you have to follow the nightly thread to keep a lookout for possible issues.

Must admit that netflix and vpn are only out of the ordinary things I use.

I currently have Libreelec 8.2.5 installed and tried upgrading to Milhouse Kodi V18. The update fails saying that the partition size is too small.

I then tried to create a bootable USB using the USB-SD Creator program, but cannot boot.

The Milhouse builds have a .tar extension. Can this be used to create a bootable usb, or how do I create a bootable usb from a .tar?

Thanks.

leonb It sounds like you have an older OE installation with a smaller 235MB boot partition. Just create a new 8.2.5 install using the USB/SD creator and this will create a 512MB partition. Then you can update to the milhouse image using the .tar file.
