It won't take long to install the Netflix addon on Kodi. Now, we can start to install Netflix on Kodi. We have gathered the steps for devices like Fire TV, Android TV, Windows, macOS or Linux; just follow the steps below:

Step 1. Install a VPN Software for Kodi (NordVPN as an Example)

Before we install the Netflix addon, we need to choose a VPN like Nord VPN for Kodi.

Step 1 Install Nord VPN from the Amazon Store (Fire TV) or the Google Play Store (Android TV). If you use a computer, install Nord VPN from the official website.

Step 2 Open for streaming.

Step 3 Connect to a Netflix-optimized server.

Next, we will start to install a Netflix extension on Kodi.

Step 2. Install the Latest Kodi and Open It

If you are using Kodi 19 (Matrix) or a newer version, open it. If you don't have needed version, you need the following guide.

Step 1 Search for and install the "Downloader" app from the Amazon Appstore.

Step 2Click System on the bottom right.

Step 3 In the left-side menu, click Add-ons.

Step 4 On the right, toggle the option to Allow Unknown Sources on.

Step 4. Add the Netflix Repository Source

Then, we will add a new repository source.

Step 1 Go back to the Settings menu by pressing the back button on your remote and choose File Manager.

Step 2Double-click Add Source. Then, click "None" in the window that pops up.

Step 3 Type or paste this URL exactly as it is: https://castagnait.github.io/repository.castagnait/ and Press OK.

Step 4 Give it a name you'll remember, like "Netflix Repo," and click OK again.

Step 5. Install the Netflix Repository & Add-on

Now, we have added the sources, and we will use the source we added to install the CastagnaIT repository and addon on Kodi.

Step 1 Head back to Kodi's main menu and click Add-ons.

Step 2In the top-left corner, click the Package Installer icon (represented by a small open box).

Step 3 Select Install from Zip File.

Step 4Find and click the source you just added (e.g., "Netflix Repo"). Click the file name "repository.castagnait.zip". Kodi will install it automatically.

Step 6Click on CastagnaIT Repository (this is the one you just installed).

Step 7Open Video Add-ons, find Netflix, and click Install.

Now, Kodi will install the Netflix add on for you. Open the Netflix add-on. Enter your Netflix email and password to log in. You're now ready to start watching Netflix!

Method 2. Transfer Downloaded Netflix Videos to Kodi

While streaming Netflix through those add-ons is a good option, downloading Netflix videos to your computer and adding them to Kodi gives you even more control. The official downloads are protected by Netflix DRM, so you can't transfer them to Kodi. Most importantly, this way works for all Kodi-compatible devices.

But you can still achieve this by using a tool like ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader. This tool allows you to save Netflix content directly to your computer for private use, and then you can easily add those files to Kodi to manage and play just like any other media. With this tool, you can download your favorite Netflix shows and movies as MP4 or MKV files, which are easy to store and compatible with Kodi. You can watch your favorite shows and movies offline without worrying about internet speed, buffering, or the reliability of an add-on.
