How to Watch Netflix on Kodi Easily

Part 1. Does Kodi Have Netflix Add-on?

Kodi does not have an official Netflix add-on, but you can still get Netflix on Kodi using a third-party add-on. This method allows you to access Netflix content through Kodi's interface. However, since Kodi doesn't natively support Netflix, you'll need to manually install a third-party repository to get it working.

Because this Kodi Netflix add-on is unofficial, it is not overseen by Kodi, which means there's some risk involved when downloading from unknown sources. However, if you follow the correct installation steps and take precautions, such as using a VPN, you can stream Netflix safely. Just remember that your viewing experience could be affected by factors such as your internet connection, and the performance of the add-on may vary.

Part 2. How to Watch Netflix on Kodi via Add-on

Currently, Netflix add-ons only work on Kodi 19 (Matrix) or newer. If you're using an older version, like Kodi 18 or earlier, you will need to update as the Netflix add-on won't function on those versions.

How to Download and Install Netflix Add-on on Kodi

Step 1Update to Kodi 19 (Matrix) or Later

1. If you're not using Kodi 19 (Matrix) or a newer version, go to the Kodi website and download the latest version.
2. Install the update and open Kodi.
3. On Kodi's main screen, click the gear icon (Settings) in the top-left corner.
4. Click System.
5. In the left-side menu, click Add-ons.
6. On the right, toggle the option to Allow Unknown Sources on.

Step 2Add the Netflix Repository Source

1. Go back to the Settings menu and choose File Manager.
2. Double-click Add Source. In the window that pops up, click <None>.
3. Type or paste this URL exactly as it is: https://castagnait.github.io/repository.castagnait/
4. Press OK. Give it a name you'll remember, like "Netflix Repo," and click OK again.

Step 3Install the Netflix Repository & Add-on

1. Head back to Kodi's main menu and click Add-ons.

Step 4Install InputStream Adaptive (If Prompted)

1. During installation, Kodi might ask you to install additional tools like InputStream Adaptive and Widevine DRM. These are required for Netflix to function properly.
2. If this happens, just click Yes to install them.
3. Once everything is installed, go back to the Add-ons section on Kodi's home screen.
4. Open the Netflix add-on.
5. Enter your Netflix email and password to log in.
6. You're now ready to start watching Netflix!
7. For better video quality or smoother streaming, go to the Netflix Add-on Settings and adjust the quality to HD or 4K (if your device supports it).
8. Ensure that InputStream Adaptive is enabled for better streaming performance.

Part 3. How to Add Netflix Videos to Kodi

While using free Netflix add-on with Kodi is a good option, downloading Netflix videos to your computer and adding them to Kodi gives you even more control. By doing this, you can watch your favorite Netflix shows and movies on Kodi for free without worrying about internet speed, buffering, or the reliability of an add-on.

Unfortunately, Kodi doesn't have a built-in option to download Netflix videos. You have to achieve this by using StreamUlt Netflix Video Downloader. It allows you to save Netflix content directly to common MP4 or MKV in 1080p solution for private use, and then you can easily add those files to Kodi to manage and play just like any other media player for free.

Next, click the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the StreamUlt interface. From the drop-down menu, choose "Settings." In the "Download" section, you can customize various options to enhance your viewing experience. Here, adjust the output video format, codec, quality, audio channel, language, and subtitle preferences to suit your needs. Once you're satisfied with your selections, click "OK" to save your changes.

Step 3Select Netflix Content for Download

After closing the Settings window, return to the StreamUlt Web Player. Use the search bar to find specific content by entering its name, keyword, or code. Alternatively, you can paste the URL of the Netflix show or movie you wish to download. When you find the video you want, click on it to proceed.

Step 4Initiate the Download Process

To begin downloading your selected content, click the "Download" button. StreamUlt will automatically take care of downloading individual episodes or entire seasons for TV shows, as well as full-length movies. Just sit back and wait for the downloads to finish; the files will be saved as MP4 or MKV files in your laptop's default download folder.

Step 5Access Your Netflix Downloads Offline

Once your downloads are complete, navigate to the "Converted" section at the top of the StreamUlt interface to view all your finished downloads. If you need to locate the files on your laptop, simply click the "Folder" icon next to each title, and it will open the folder containing your downloaded videos.
