Kodi, inputstream.adaptive and Netflix

One of the things I love about the latest version of Kodi is being able to use the Netflix add-on and being able to view everything in one place.

I had a problem that took me a bit to troubleshoot. Whenever I watch Netflix, I noticed that videos would start to play slower than the audio. In other words, the video would look like it was in slow motion while the audio played at normal speed.

After doing updates, downgrades, etc I finally found that people were discussing this issue but weren't able to reproduce, however, while looking at the issue myself, I noticed the videos that I was watching from Netflix were in 1080p quality. I went into the properties for inputstream.adaptive and changed the settings to the secured streams from MAX to 720p.

It worked! My Netflix streams are smooth like butter.
