Therefore, we ask its developers for new, more advanced features adapted to current times and that serve to meet our needs. That is precisely where the games come into play. add-ons or complements of which we speak in these lines. These are software developments created by third parties that serve to cover the needs and functions that by default are not found in Kodi. We are going to find content of this type of the most diverse nature. Some at the functional level while others focus on security or security. program interface.
Precisely for this reason, Kodi add-ons for many are one of the main attractions that this platform or multimedia program offers us. However, we must try to stay away from illegal plugins, as they can cause us a series of important problems, both legal and security. security.

Once we have downloaded the .zip file, we can proceed to install the add-on on our computer with Kodi. A process that will surely be familiar to us since it is carried out in the same way as any other add-on.
How to Install Netflix on Kodi
Next, we are going to see how we can install this Netflix addon on our Kodi player. To do this, the first thing will be to have unknown sources enabled to later load and install the .zip file of the add-on that we have downloaded. Finally, you will need to install the Inputstream Adaptive and Widevine plugin to start watching any video.
Enable unknown sources
The first thing will need to we have unknown sources enabled, otherwise it will not be possible to install addons on Kodi. The possibility of installing third-party extensions that have not been supervised by Kodi, is one of the reasons why this application has always been related to the access to content illegally and that the large distribution platforms always have this platform in their sights. However, this process is exactly the same as we find in Android, where we must activate the function that allows us to install applications from unknown sources without wanting to install applications not available in the Play Store.
To enable the installation of unknown sources in Kodi, from the main interface of the program, click on the icon settings located in the upper left corner, being easily located just below the logo of the application. When we press it we will see how we have several options available. We click on the button Systemon the right side of the screen.
Using the sidebar located on the left, we move the cursor to click on the “Add-ons” section. Now, on the right side, click on Unknown origins. We will see a message against enabling this option, but we ignore it and click Yes. And that’s it, now we have Kodi enabled to install third-party add-ons like this one from Netflix.
Steps to install the add-on
To install this add-on on Kodi, the process we must follow is the same as any other add-on. To do this, we simply have to go to the main interface of the player and click on the section called “Add-ons”. Once there we will choose the option “Add-ons explorer”, which we find in the upper left part
Within the add-ons search engine, we will choose the option Install from a .zip filewhich is the one that we will have downloaded from its repository on GitHub, and we will load it into the program.
Click on the file to install the repository, and then we should see a notification in the upper right corner. Later we click on the section Install from the repository.
Now let’s CastagnaIT Repository.
Subsequently, click on “Video Add-ons” and “Netflix”. Finally, we click on the button Install to finish the process.
We continue and run the newly installed plugin, for which it will be necessary to log in with our email and password. This plugin allows us to enjoy Netflix from Kodi in a totally legal way, since we must enter the data of our user account and password. This plugin is not used to access the Netflix catalog illegally.
The Kodi extension for Netflix allows us to enjoy the most popular streaming video platform in the world in a very similar way to how we do it with the native application, since we have access to the same content, such as the platform’s recommendations for each user account, we tend them in our country, the 10 most played series / movies, the most popular content and the Netflix original, view the trailers of the next releases and much more but using Kodi.
last steps
Once we have logged into our Netflix account with our username and password, we can now play any video we want. Before playing it, a window will appear asking us to install Widevine (plugin for digital rights management), so we selected Install Widevine and click “OK”.
It will also invite us to install the Inputstream Adaptive plugin to access the content bypassing the DRM. Both add-ons are necessary if we want to enjoy all the quality that Netflix makes available to us. Once the installation is complete, the chosen video should start playing correctly.
Set up your Netflix account on Kodi
We have already told you before that here we are referring to a completely legal add-on that we install in the multimedia center. This means that in order to enjoy Netflix video content we will need to have a valid account on the streaming platform.
Basically this means that once we have installed the corresponding add-on in Kodi as we have shown you, we will have to configure our account data of user. In this way we can access all the content of the online platform from the multimedia center. Thus, the moment we open the add-on installed for the first time, the configuration wizard of the add-on itself that we have installed before will automatically appear on the screen.
This will help us to enter our Netflix account access credentials, we refer to the email and the corresponding password. These are the ones we usually use on the platform to put it into operation. Once we enter the correct data, we will be able to enjoy our Netflix movies, series and documentaries directly from this useful program that we use for so many other things related to the world. multimedia.
Kodi is much more than a pirate platform
we can’t deny that Kodi is directly related to piracy, and that it is rightly so. In some countries they are trying to block this platform to fight against the piracy of sports, series and movies so widespread among the users of this platform, however, the possibilities of this go much further, and proof of this is its absolute compatibility with legal plugins, like the one we just saw. The problem of piracy with Kodi is not related to the development and maintenance of the application but rather to the use that people make of it through the available add-ons, just like it happens with pirated Android applications.
Kodi, in addition to being an excellent multimedia center to play practically any file, has also allowed users, thanks to the well-known Kodi-Box, to turn their old televisions into complete ones. SmartTV based on Android so that they can be used from watching your own movies through a USB memory to legally playing series and movies through extensions such as YouTube and the new extension that we have just seen for Netflix.
