[ESN] Android support/how to guide

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

hello, I have android box mi box MDZ-19-AA, which doesn't support original Android TV netflix version, but only mobile one works with 720p and keyboard.

So I got Kodi 18 apk installed it, enabled inputstream, installed netflix plugin , but I can log in and see one menu when I choose " my list" or " continue watching" I get error message.

How to get this plugin working?

Where plugin error log is located?

p.s. I got it working on Raspbbery PI 3 with libreelec so I wanted to get it working on android

AzzieDev commented 7 years ago

Libreelec is Linux.

Android is also Linux but runs differently. Just like you cannot stream Netflix in the browser (at least I don't think you can) you won't be able to do this on Android. Just install the Netflix app and link to it through Kodi.

Kodi error log is located in the Kodi directory (I think in the Android directory). Its of no use to you because the Widevine isn't created for Android as far as I can tell.

UPDATE: So Widevine does support Android, but not the same way as Windows/Mac/Linux.

Where plugin error log is located? The Plugin does not have a seperate log. So simply provide the kodi log. Check out: http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced

The plugin works on Android if the system supports Widevine! So thats what kat953162 said is wrong.

kodi.log Here is Log file

How do I know if my system supports widevine?

trummerjo commented 7 years ago

Please update to the newest Plugin Version this error is already fixed. There is a app called DRM info. It lists all supported DRM systems of you device

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

I have updated to latest version - got a bit further.... to titles and descriptions then failure notification appeard.

here is new log kodi.log

And DRM app says - Google Widevine Modular DRM - Supported

any tips how to get further?

asciidisco commented 7 years ago

@aintnogeek You’re using 0.11.24 version of the Plugin, Netflix changed their API, so you need to upgrade to the latest version & your error should be gone.

AzzieDev commented 7 years ago

@trummerjo I corrected myself before you said I was wrong...

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

OK, I have latest kodi nightly and netflix plugin, now I got a bit further - when I hit play, there is no sound and video, and also full screen doesn't open, when I press to left for full screen it is just " 100" circle without anything kodi.log img_20171001_102839

what are suggestions?

asciidisco commented 7 years ago

@aintnogeek Can you try again with the current version (0.12) & if it still doesn't work can you please try the following first:

Switch to the InputStream settings and change the stream selection to manual
Go to the video settings & check if there are any tracks/resolutions given (if there are, please try to chose a few of em, starting with the lowest res & see if something happens)

If that doesn't work or nothing is displayed at all, we need a full debug.log again. Also, it would be very helpful if you could send us the contents of the file stored in addon_data/service.msl/manifest.json (No worries, there is no sensitive information in there) An info about the Playready/Widevine level supported by your hardware would be helpful as well (if your vendor provides such)

With that info, I think we should be able to track down your issue further.

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

Used latest version.

Went trough some 10 resolutions in manual, but no luck.

Here is:

Log file json file DRM info

No Luck.

Hope you can fix this.... lot of folks would sing a song for you and buy a beer ;)

I also reported the same issue at inputstream.adaptive repo.

https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive/issues/79#issuecomment-334474079

Since I tried the very first time Netflix plugin + Kodi Leia Master nightlies in a Transformer Primer (Android 7.1.2) that I've had this issue.

valerir01 commented 7 years ago

I have similar issue too. Tanix TX3 mini android TV box. Kodi Leia Master from october 4th. Latest Netflix plugin from zip file. Plugin starts, Login OK, but no audio and video, when I try to play something. Under plugin dependencies Pycryptodome and Inputstream adaptive are unavailable. Nevertheless, Inputstream is enabled. With older Netflix plugin dependencies shows, that only Pycryptodome is unavailable. Seems like Inpustream is OK in such case. BTW, for me latest Kodi, October 10th, seems like it does not have Inputstream Adaptive at all. No such plugin installed with Kodi. Tried install it separately, but it will fail.

pinoelefante commented 7 years ago

I have the same behaviour on my own plugin with android device so i don't think this is related to netflix addon but to inputstream

pinoelefante commented 7 years ago

i got the audio disabling all hardware video acceleration

i am trying with a device having widevine L3 and last apk of kodi 18

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

Tried latest version of plugin same issue. In older versions also there was option to get audio only if changing inputstream settings.

asciidisco commented 7 years ago

@aintnogeek Do you have the regular "native" Netflix App on your box as well? If so, can you tell me the ESN it displays under Settings > Get Help >Device & the ESN that is displayed within the plugins settings in Kodi?

We have another issue where the ESN generated by the plugin seems to be wrong, therefor this could be the case...

aintnogeek commented 7 years ago

only mobile netflix app works.

here is ESN from mobile app

and here is ESN from KODI plugin img_20171029_150815 img_20171029_150949
