And for the "KID" profile without PIN:

I think they changed the api. 404 Error for changing profile, too.

After disabling profile PIN protection, I was able to navigate in movie library...
(This is just a workaround, not a solved problem !!)

But if I choose a movie, another error occurs:

https://paste.kodi.tv/otufeyawaf.kodi

EDIT:
THIS LAST ISSUE IS SOLVED. I had to reset my ESN in "expert settings"

[Mannshoch]

What doea this esn. and what happens if i reset it?

[screenagerbe]

Got the same error, but a different scenario.

Everything is working fine, but we're locked into the Kids profile which has no PIN configured.
When we try to change profile we get the same 404 Error.

I'll try to generate a new NFAuthentication.key and see what gives.

After generating a new NFAuthentication.key, I can not watch any steam anymore.

It always gives me: MSL error
licensedManifest/playapi-445: Playback not permitted by Content Usage Policies

Even after generating new ESN for Widewine...

Any ideas? I initially thought it might be about wrong inputstream adaptive resolution settings, but also changing to 480p did not resolve the issue.

[pont01]

Miután létrehoztam egy új NFAuthentication.key-t, már nem tudok Steamet nézni.

Mindig ezt a hibát adja: MSL hiba licensedManifest/playapi-445: A lejátszás nem engedélyezett a tartalomhasználati szabályzat által.

Még miután új ESN-t generáltunk a Widewine-hez...

Van valami ötleted? Először azt hittem, hogy a rossz bemeneti adatfolyam adaptív felbontási beállításai miatt lehet, de a 480p-re váltás sem oldotta meg a problémát.

Sajnos nálam is ez a hiba! :(

I have the same error when trying to change profile. This is on 1.23.5 on OSMC.

The URL is https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/mre/profiles/switch?switchProfileGuid=

[patricksrentsch]

The same issue when changing profiles occurs to me with 1.23.5 on Kodi. But with followind steps, I was able to use the plugin with the main profile:

• deactivated PIN for all profiles using the Browser on the PC
• logged out of netflix in the plugin
• deleted the plugin, reinstalled
• logged in with a newly generated NFAuth-Key, PIN and the password

after theses steps, the default (main) profile was selected in the plugin and I am able to use this profile including management of "my list" in this profile.
However, changing to another profile does not work.
