Description

After more o less 8 hours of testing and network flow analisys and source code analysis
I was able to get the missing key of this project!

🎉🎉✨🎊🎁 The MSL switch profile! 🎉🎉✨🎊🎁

That's a big stone that's always been missing

This solves many very very old problems, from the first version of this addon (13.x) developed by asciidisco

Now being able to run this MSL switch, we can make MSL requests using actually the selected user profile!

What solves:

• The availability of audio languages will be correct, no more missing languages
• The availability of subtitle languages will be correct, no more missing languages
• Now requests from Kid profiles can actually be executed correctly
• Solved the problems of age limits set in the main profile but not in the others, that caused errors like video not available
• You can communicate the watched status of the watched videos in each profile!

Ref.
#385
#366

Due to major refactor to the code i could not make separate commits,
so to better understand the changes i will try to divide the refactor and the implementation into two commits

Due to the complexity of this implementation there will certainly be some errors overlooked, also because i don't have testers able to support me

Unresolved problem:
Progress sent by Kodi are not displayed on android, but only on the website,
seem that is the same problem of not updated continue watching list

In case of Feature change / Breaking change:

Describe the current behavior

Describe the new behavior

i need a volunteer to do a tests
if someone wants to run some tests, remember to also examine the log for errors
the tests will have to be carried out on several profiles, even with different languages
Instruction: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/wiki/Sync-watched-status-with-Netflix

I suggest a backup of your previous version

-install Kodi from scratch
-Install this plugin.video.netflix_0.16.4_20200223_test2.zip
-Without login, open addon settings and on expert setting set debug verbose
-Remember to enable Kodi debug

If you want to provide a log here do these steps:
-Reboot Kodi (in order to create a clean log)
-Open addon
-Select a profile (let me know is you select the main owner profile or others)
-Enable the sync of watched status
-Open a list and play a video
-Watch at least 4 minutes of video
-Press stops and wait at least 30 seconds (network operations will be completed)
-Provide the log

Here you are.

Thank you!

kodi_sync_other2.log

I did the test with 2 non-main accounts, because on the first "other" account there was parallel playback on another device. I didn't want to screw up any results with this.

I don't know whether you are aware of this, but the continue watching playlist still doesn't get updated through the sync (TV series already in the list get updated internally, but they don't move up the list). Also, through the netflix android app, you're not able to see the progress already made when you are watching a movie. When you play it, you start off where you left with kodi. TV series are displayed differently because of their seasons. There is always a progress bar displayed at the episodes.
Within the browser, this isn't a problem, because a progress bar is always being displayed, no matter whether the movie is in the continue watching list or not.
I really appreciate your work and hope that I can be a little bit of a help with this.

Answer here: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/wiki/Sync-watched-status-with-Netflix

in relation to netflix android app,
i think the problem of not being able to visualize the progress made with Kodi is due to the same problem of continue watching list

there's no documentation on how these things work the only way is to experiment in the field
now that things are working better, i can try to reuse the refreshlolomo path again

Fixing this last thing is the only thing missing to have everything working almost perfectly
