Unfortunately rolling back is very difficult, I wouldn't try it if you don't know what you're doing. You could easily brick your Shield.

[xnappo]

I have instructed the family not to say 'ok' :D

Hopefully this works.

[Smeulf]

Hopefully this works.

@HDGuy not in debug but good enough, same error.

I think for now we're good with the logs. We gonna investigate more. Thanks to all.

[HDGuy]

Wouldn't work in debug for some reason.

As long as it's good enough.

[HDGuy]

Funny, I installed it on Kodi on my Fire TV 4k stick last night and everything works just fine. 4k, Atmos, HDR, etc.

Wish Dolby Vision worked tho. :)

Is it Android Pie too?

The Fire TV runs on a modified version of Android, although what version I can't say.

Assuming different Shield are okay.

@xnappo in these logs did you use esn set by you or automatic from the plugin?

[M2k80]

i have a backup from my netflix settings folder, when it was running on O, there it was set automaticly to NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV and on P its automaticly set to NFANDROID2-PRV-T-L3-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV

and this is shown in android system settings on P now - NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV - can you see the difference to O? one A is missing

[CastagnaIT]

I re-express myself -and this is shown in android system settings "NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV" do you want to say on netflix official app?

[M2k80]

in O it was NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV auto set from plugin. on P it is NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV - in system settings. there is now missing an A on NVIDIASHIELD and its now wrong detected as NFANDROID2-PRV-T-L3-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV" i am not a dev, only trying to help - but it seems to look like there is now a problem to read it out correctly and maybe the same in the other way?

[M2k80]

this is only in the netflix plugin on O NFANDROID2-PRV-T-L3-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV not in system settings i am talking about your plugin not netflix app on android you can see netflix esn if you go Settings -> info

[CastagnaIT]

if you set esn manually: NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDIASHIELD=ANDROID=TV on P, 4k works?

[M2k80]

i tried it yes, but no change

[CastagnaIT]

to understand, on P in the official netflix app esn Settings -> info, what esn exactly?

[M2k80]

no in android system settings - info in netflix android app there is no esn shown

[M2k80]

on P in system settings is this NFANDROID2-PRV-SHIELDANDROIDTV-NVIDISHIELD=ANDROID=TV followed by many numbers

[CastagnaIT]

can you put a screenshot?

[M2k80]

is it safe for me to tell everyone my complete ESN? isnt it unique to every device?

[CastagnaIT]

could, i read that at least in TVs can change with a factory reset if you prefer you can send the screeshot on my personal email indicated on the first page of my github we need to understand what they have changed

[M2k80]

send it to your email

[xnappo]

@CastagnaIT, It was automatic, didn't touch it.

[peak3d]

@M2k80 you can see the ESN from android app if you enter the "Get Help" section, after this select Device.

The T3 ESN is definitively wrong detected, but changing the ESN to the one from app does not really help for me.

Beside this I doubt that it was NVIDIASHIELD (with A) on O, because the size of chars is and was limited.

[M2k80]

yes you are right, i tested with P all combinations, old esn, new esn, complete long new esn. but nothing helped.

[peak3d]

Issue is, that the returned data from licenseserver does not contain the required license, it contains something else. The .response file on the device (saved from inputstream.adaptive, search with "find /sdcard/ -name *.response" contain on my AFTV a valid license:

{"getWidevineLicenseResponse":{"license":"CAIS7AQKSgogQjI1MDUwRUYyQUQxQzgzMzE0MDEwMDAwMDAwMD ....

On shield with P it contains something completely different (binary stuff). so it seems that we have to figure out what the difference in the request is.

[peak3d]

Sorry, I have been on wrong device when I pulled the aftv .response file. Pulling it from the correct device leads to a .response file which looks similiar to the one currently provided by shield. Nevertheless the widevine DRM on shield / pie does not lead to the expected license workflow.

[Smeulf]

I'm not familiar enough with InputStream. So the answer for my question will be obvious for you but... Is it on our side or on yours? I assume we (Netflix addon) pass the url for the license to InputStream then you deal with it?

[Dnkhatri]

Something is wrong with the shield widewine system after the update many people have problems using the official Netflix and Amazon prime apps as well. Until Nvidia fixes that the only other option is to try resting the shield according to the Nvidia devs on the Nvidia forum

[semool]

@Dnkhatri I have resetet my Shield after the Pie Update. The Amazon and Netflix Native Apps are working fine but not the Kodi Addon for Netflix.

[wintuxx]

I have test the addon on my mobile device with android pie. And it worked, movies are playing etc. Everything works like it should.

[peak3d]

@wintuxx how does your ESN looks on mobile phone (only frist 5 parts are interesting). I want to make sure that your ESN allows HD streams

[wintuxx]

NFANDROID1-PRV-T-L3-HUAWEICLT-L29

[peak3d]

With the ESN above (not correct build from kodi addons) you only get SD streams. Because your device is HD capable (refering to netflix site), pls. change the ESN to the one you can find in the official netflix app (the leading long number sting is not necessary, but you'll have to xchange the T-L3 with that from official app. After changing, try to play a movie, if it fails, restart kodi and try again.

[wintuxx]

The ESN I postet is from Kodi Netflix Addon on a Huawei p20 pro

I have enter the ESN from the official app: NFANDROID1-PRV-P-HUAWEICLT-L29

still 520p ond my Huawei P20 pro

[peak3d]

Sometimes it is necessary to remove msl_data.json from the device.

• terminate kodi
• using adb: adb shell find /sdcard/ -name msl_data.json rm [found file)

or, alternatively, remove the file using your file browser on android phone.

After starting kodi again (with the -P- esn, the manifest should provide HD conent, would be interesting, if it is playable.

[wintuxx]

I have it deleted

I am now at my way home. I will try it in my wlan.

[GemeenAapje]

Where can I find the msl_data.json file? I have ES Explorer but no other way of managing my Shield file system. The search doesn't work, it's total crap. But if you can tell me the exact location I can try deleting it.

I also don't have the hotfix available yet as they are not accepting new devices for the beta programme :-(

I've set the ESN as in my netflix app, but still only seeing 720

Thanks

Video does not start.

[peak3d]

Select "Stream Selection" manual in inputstream.adaptive settings to force the addon to start with the lowest available stream (SD), it should start. I expect that stream stops playing if you select an > SD stream in kodi settings while stream is playing (click on running movie, select settings icon in bottom video nav, and goto video streams. There you can choose other resolutions)

[wintuxx]

[peak3d]

Pls. disable VP9 codec in netflix addon settings, restart kodi and try again Beside this it looks that streamselection in inputstream.adaptive settings is still "auto", but it should be manual.

[wintuxx]

[wintuxx]

[wintuxx]

Only 720p is not working

[CastagnaIT]

disable VP9! and enable HEVC

[wintuxx]

[wintuxx]

No video are running.
