How to fix common Netflix Kodi-add on issues

Here is a list of the most common issues/error messages that you may come across, as well as more information about what you can do to fix them.

Add-on not installed

You may come across this error when there are repositories that are outdated or that are no longer working. To solve this, clear all repos that are not working anymore since Kodi may get content from them and if they are not available, you are likely to see error messages. You can also install the Indigo add-on and clear your cache.

Could Not Retrieve Directory Information

If you see this error, it means that the Alelec repository is not responding back to a server request. This may be due to different reasons. It may be that the URL address is incorrect, so make sure that you check that it is correct. If the URL address is correct and you are experiencing the error, wait a few hours and then try again. It is possible that the repo is under maintenance.

How to install Netflix on Android box

All you need to do is to go to the Google Play Store and look for Kodi. Select the install button and wait until the process is complete. Once Kodi is installed on your device, you can start streaming movies, TV shows and more, from a vast selection of sources and for free. It is also possible to install Kodi on other popular platforms like Mac, iOS and Linux.

Using Kodi add-on securely

While Kodi is very popular and it offers many advantages, it should be noted that there are add-ons that are not official and that could lead to some issues. Most of these add-ons offer content that is subject to copyright. This content is offered without the authorization of the owners, which is why if you try to watch TV shows and movies through such add-ons, you may face not only restrictions (many of these add-ons are blocked), but will also have to deal with warning letters and even fines in some cases. While ideally, you should stick to official add-ons and avoid accessing pirated content, if you want to access a wider range of content without exposing your privacy, you need to consider using a VPN. There are several options available, but we highly recommend the below:

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is a highly recommended service that is fast, highly secure and that doesn’t keep logs of your activities. It lets you connect to servers in over 90 countries and it is capable of unblocking content without delays.

NordVPN

NordVPN offers powerful protection for your privacy as it uses high encryption and it doesn’t keep any logs at all. NordVPN has over 5000 servers in 60 countries and it has fast servers that allow you to stream content on Kodi fast and securely.

Surfshark

Surfshark is another good solution to overcome restrictions that stop you from accessing Kodi add-ons, and it also ensures that your traffic remains protected at all times. It does this by applying high encryption and not keeping logs of your activities.
