getting "authURL is not valid" error when trying to login with NFAuthentication.key

[marchelloUA]

Hi all,

(1) I have I'm getting "authURL is not valid" error when trying to login with NFAuthentication.key (but used it successfully for months before, until maybe last week or so).

All of a sudden Netflix addon on my Kodi / Libreelec asked to authenticate again. As I didn't remember a previous PIN to my last NFAuthentication.key that I used successfully (and it seems expire anyway), I generated it again. I was able to put my current PIN and was asked for a password. Then it thrown error "authURL is not valid" and said that more info is in the kodi.log file. I looked through it, but it said that debugging was turned off. After turning on debugging and trying again I was able to get details (please see attached).
part_of_kodi.log

Netflix addon version: 1.23.3+MATRIX.1
Kodi version: 21.0 (21.0.0) Git: 21.0-Omega
LibreELEC version: 12.0.0 (official), architecture: RPi5.aarch64

Once again, it worked fully properly many months until maybe last week or so.

(2) I have kodi installed on my laptop with ubuntu 20.04.6, Kodi build: 20.2 (20.2.0), I was able to login into netflix addon with NFAuthentication.key, but it freezes when trying to play any video (tried a few).

I am more interested to make it work again on my first devise (RPi5 / LibreELEC).
Please advise...

I went to local electronics shop recently and bought K XIAOMI MI Box S Smart TV 2-Gen. It does the trick (but it runs Google TV operation system though). Sure I still love my Rpi5, but it seems I'd rather use it with RetroPie to play old games sometimes.

Same problem here on LineAge on a FireTV stick. This Android TV build does not play nice with Netflix app so 2 years ago i installed Kodi with Netflix addon and it worked well for a while. But now i get this same error.
