Hi, I have a formuler z8 pro and, like everyone, my netflix app busted up. Already used the browser version but it sucks. What is the best netflix app version for this kind of device? Many thanks for the help.
You can use Kodi with CastagnaIT's Netflix add-on. To make your life easier, Ekay42 has created an apk package with Kodi and the add-on. Latest version till now is here on comment #1100. Just install the apk and login.

This is a good example tonymhu. At first I thought that Cultman wanted to start the Netflix Addon immediately.
If you change the home menu style under skin settings f.e. to "Vertical Multi-Widgets Netflix" you can add up to 6 widgets (continue watching, recently added, top picks, my list...).
Hey Ekay42, is there any settings or way that will allow me to directly go to the last watched episode when I click on a title? So that I don't have to browse through the seasons and episodes every time I continue watching.

No sokution/ption for this. The add-on doesn't request on episode level just title via the API, I think.

It is not possible directly, but from season to an unwatched episode it is. Go to Netflix settings > General, activate "Select first unwatched TV show episode" and under Skin viewtypes at "View ID for episodes" enter 54 (for banner view) or 50 (for list view), only these 2 viewtypes support it. In the next version I will set it by default.

1. If the security level of the device is L3, will I be able to play content in 1080p (instead of the current 540p)? Or this is only true in case of L1 devices?

2. Wouldn't it be easier/possible that Ekay42 just create the modded Kodi apk and we could seperately update the Netflix add-on whenever a new version is released, just like in case of stock Kodi?

To the 2 point , you should download the castagnait repository which is the Netflix add-on developer repo and install to Kodi. If Im correct this will be automatically update the add-on from the repo if they release a new version.

Amazing! Thanks for another update @Ekay42. There should be a different thread for this. At least a telegram channel to keep track of all the Kodi+Netflix updates and change-logs. Please give it a thought.

So basically the max resolution I can have in this Netflix Kodi version is the same as in stock Kodi? Or is there some trick/hack in this modded Kodi version which allows higher 1080p instead of 540p?

And the same resolution like stock Netflix app directly!But this app is 1.09 and in Kodi repository is only 1.08!

It looks pretty much available to me

Ok, I just tried to get this file and my result was the same as the previous poster who said it wasn't available...it gives me an error of having been removed, the access key being wrong, something like that. I've tried it in two or three different browsers...Is there some place else besides mediafire where its hosted ? Mega ?

Now 1.08 it's not available anymore, as there is a new link above for 1.09. You just have to carefully read the thread.

Could you please refer to that link for 1.09 version, I can't find it. And all the above mentioned links report to be broken, on mediafire...:( or could someone reupload it on mega or some other place so we can download it

    Netflix 8.1.2 build 3844
    netflix2-gigapixel.png

    At the moment, the method of changing the ESN number is non-working!
    Work on the problem of non-certified devices continues, new versions may appear in the future.
    Requirements:
    -Any uncertified device by Netflix

    Changes:
    -You can insert any ESN number
    -Google verification disabled

    What works:
    -HD
    -Audio 5.1
    -HDR

    Tested on MI TV 4A/4S RU Edition

    1. Download and unzip the archive BatchApkTool.zip (BatchApkTool is already configured and has a batchapktool.ini settings file!)
    The unpacked folder(_INPUT_APK) already contains the apk mod, so you don't need to download it in advance!
    2. Run BatchApkTool.exe
    - Enter the command in numbers: 04

    (This command decompiles the necessary part of the APK)
    -Wait for the decompilation to finish, but don't close this app!
    3. Go to the directory: _INPUT_APK\com.netflix.ninja_8.1.2_build_3844_mod\smali\o\
    and find the file
    setShowsDialog. smali
    - Open the setShowsDialog.smali file and find the lines 621 and 632:
    - Change the ESN number "NFANDROID1-PRV-T-L3-SDMC=MBX4K=RANGER-9908-" to "YOUR ESN NUMBER" and save file!
    4. In the BatchApkTool app, enter the command: 05
    - Wait for the compilation to finish!

    5. Take the compiled APK with your ESN number in the _OUT_APK folder.
    6. Install it on your device and use it!
    Requirements:
    -Any uncertified device by Netflix
    -Security Level: Widevine L1
    -Doesn't work if the level is
    Widevine L3

    Changes:
    -You can insert any ESN number
    -Disable app signature verification

    What works:
    -HD and UHD(4K)
    -Audio 5.1
    -HDR
    -Netflix Recommendations on Home Screen
    (You need to update the Android TV Home app)

    Tested on MI TV 4A/4S RU Edition



    Modification instructions:

    1. Download original apk: com.netflix.ninja_6.1.3_build_2482-2482_minAPI22.apk
    2. Decompile the APK file with APKTOOL 2.5.0
    3
    . Find out your ESN number in any way, such as using Kodi+Netflix plugin, etc.

    Example, on my device ESN Number: NFANDROID2-PRV-0-XIAOMMITV-MSSP1-11579-8E7EBE41602D7BFE5FB467845C6F254CAD5677390EFB960CA0D11755BB31CDD5
    The ESN number needs to be adjusted, but all this is individual, for me, the working option turned out to be this: NFANDROID1-PRV-0-XIAOMMITV-MSSP1-11579-

    4. Add your device's ESN number to the file BaseEsnProvider.smali:
    The file is located in the directory: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\mediaclient\service\configuration\esn\
    Code:
    .method public getEsn()Ljava/lang/String;
        .locals 1
    
        .line 310
        iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/netflix/mediaclient/service/configuration/esn/BaseEsnProvider;->esn:Ljava/lang/String;
    
        return-object v0
    .end method
    Code:
    .method public getEsn()Ljava/lang/String;
        .locals 2
    
        .line 310
        iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/netflix/mediaclient/service/configuration/esn/BaseEsnProvider;->esn:Ljava/lang/String;
    
        const-string v0, "YOUR ESN NUMBER"
    
        return-object v0
    .end method

    Where "YOUR ESN NUMBER", insert your ESN number.

    4.1 To remove the optimization error (-14):
    Find the file: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\ninja\MainActivity.smali
    Comment out line 3723 like this: #invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/app/AlertDialog;->show()V

    4.2 This solution to disable PUSH error (-14) on Home Screen ATV:
    Find the file: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\mediaclient\service\pushnotification\PushJobServiceUtils$Companion$tryStartService$1.smali
    Comment out line 105 like this: #invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/widget/Toast;->show()V



    5. Compile the app using APKTOOL 2.5.0.
    6. Remove the signature verification using the program: ApkSignatureKiller.zip

    Unpack archive, go to the folder and transfer the original apk and recompiled apk. Rename them, for example: orig.apk and mod.apk
    Open the file config.txt and make the configuration:
    Code:
    # original file
    apk.signed=orig.apk
    
    # recompiled file
    apk.src=mod.apk
    
    # output file
    apk.out=out.apk
    
    # do not touch the other settings
    sign.enable=true
    sign.file=test.keystore
    sign.password=123456
    sign.alias=user
    sign.aliasPassword=654321
    Run script run.bat and wait for the script to finish working, in the folder you should get a working apk with your ESN number.

    What do you need to know if you are having problems with the app?

    Good luck watching Netflix!

    Kodi-Mod UPDATE...
    At the first login a configuration wizard for Netflix was executed in the background, this has now been deactivated because it sometimes made incorrect settings for various boxes.
    Unnecessary pre-installed skins and settings removed.
    Minor fixes.
    A fresh installation is necessary because there are many changes to the settings.
    Now it is a final version for me, i will only make updates if an update is available for the Netflix addon.
