Your plugin works like a charm on NVIDIA SHIELD TV but I have one feature request for a future version: please allow the export to the media library of a full directory like Library Integration Tool does.

The thing you propose is unmanageable it would involve a secure ban of the account,
there is already risk of ban by netflix with the current synchronization of library (and my list),
Netflix does not allow the extraction of large amounts of data

In the next update, among other improvements, there is an important change for the future of the add-on that will make many users complain, at least initially.

A separate watched status marks for each profile has been introducedWhat does that involve?
This means that any data stored by Kodi of a video played with a profile, will no longer be mixed with the other netflix profiles.

The side effect is that this cause a loss of all watched status marks you have currently saved.
But ONLY in the case you browse the lists WITHIN the add-on,
so NOT externally of the add-on like Kodi library, and, NOT in Netflix website.

For the moment i left the choice to the user to activate or not, this option,
you will be asked the choice at the first time you start the addon after the update.

You also can also return to the old method in real time (to temporarily restoring the existing watched status):
Go to add-on expert settings, by turning ON or OFF the "Keep watched status marks separate for each profile" option.

But remember that this choice i leave is TEMPORARY.
This is to give you time to take note of the videos already seen, and implement the change with less pain.
In future versions this change will be permanent! If you have not already made the change, you will no longer be able to recover the existing watched status.

This new version will be released i think in less than 7 days from today.
This is a notice you will have plenty of time to realize the change.

But what about if I browse a lot of video categories and titles using the Netflix add-on on the same day? That is perfectly possible and would lead to an account blocking as well. I think there is some risk of ban only the first time that all content is synced. But for next updates, if the add-on only queries the Netflix servers for changed content only, I think this would be a safe approach. What do you think about this?   

It doesn't work exactly like this, the number of requests to be made to the server would be too high,
your idea involves too many risks for the whole community,
if you want to implement it you can create your own Fork at your own risk

1) When you find a movie or Tv show you want to add to your Kodi library, press 'C' to enable the context menu, then select the 'export to library' option.
2) By default, the Netflix addon exports items to the following path on Windows and will create separate folders at this location for movies and Tv shows:-
C:\Users\My Pc's Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.netflix (You can obviously choose a different path if you prefer).
3) Create a new Video path for your Netflix Movie and Tv shows folders by clicking on 'Videos' on your main home menu, then 'Files', then 'Add Videos'
5) Navigate and select the path of your Netflix Movie and TV show folders, as detailed in step 2
6) Once your path has been added, highlight it, then press 'C' to enable the context menu and select the 'Scan For New Content' option. Once done, your Netflix items will now appear in your Kodi library....

However the resume function doesn't work for Netflix shows/movies, only for my local stuff; is that normal behavior or a bug?

Do you have resume options enabled in the addon settings?
Under the playback options, I have the following 2 options enabled:-

1) Enable STRM resume workaround (only library)
2) Ask to resume video

I'm using both Windows 10 and Android. Resume works on both platforms for my Netflix library content with these options enabled. 

• If I go into a show folder, play something, stop it, press play, it will prompt to resume.
  
• If I go into a show folder, play something, stop it, leave the show folder, go back, press play, it doesn't prompt and just starts from the beginning.

@CastagnaIT So do you recommend that we not use the "Keep my list in sync" feature to avoid Netflix banning accounts? I've noticed that setting will do a complete export of "My List" and library update. Even for movies and shows that have not changed or isn't new. I think the feature is neat because one can add content from another device and it will sync to Kodi. Also, which may have been solved in recent updates, the export new episodes setting didn't always work well.

Many thanks for your explanation. I understand your concern and I have given up my idea. But what about the wrong video category in movie list (my post with screenshot)?
Thanks again

that description must be fixed by the source code of the addon you mentioned  

Quote:Library Integration tool detects this directory as a TV Show list, not as a Movie list. This bug is also present in the HBO Go addon (its developer already knows this).

Thanks

I agree, but the Netflix addon shows the wrong video category, as I proved with my screenshot, so the text should be corrected in the Netflix addon. My suggestion is to use the generic word 'Videos' for both categories (as Amazon VOD does), because there are lists with mixed content (shows and movies), for example 'Recommended for you' or 'Netflix Originals'.

I appreciate your work. This addon is very stable and highly configurable. I just want to help.
Thanks

You'll need a Kodi nightly installed to get 4K working.
