Followed the link, watched the how to vid, looked up getting netflix to run on kodi... Netflix isn't really supported & sounds like it is likely to break. I need a couple of devices my parents can use & none of this really looks like an interface they will appreciate. Unfortunately I just don't think this is it.

Netflix is pretty hostile to FOSS attempts at accessing it.

If they need reliable Netflix access, you're going to need a big brand...

Okay, I found some different screenshots of kodi (tho maybe not running on a pi?) That make it look like a more reasonable interface. It has a browser... Netflix runs in a browser 🤔

Try it! Netflix is a bit obsessive about preventing password sharing, so they're rather heavy-handed in what they block.

But if Kodi's web browser is supported when you try it, I daresay it will stay supported.

There are a number of different "skins" for Kodi that can totally change the UX. Too many, perhaps!
