Raspberry Pi : Netflix on Kodi

now that you have installed Kodi on Raspberry Pi - some more things to do....


In order to watch premium channels on the RPi, you will need to install commercially available software called PlayOn (get it here) on your Windows-based PC that allows you to stream premium content channels into RPi.

I think this online video streaming service is too cool to miss if you want to watch Hulu, Netflix, Amazon VOD, HBO Go and other premium content channels on your Raspberry Pi.

Just buy and download PlayOn here and install it on your Windows-based computer.

In order to register your copy, open PlayOn Settings (go to Start / All Programs / PlayOn / PlayOn Settings) and enter the license information on the Registration tab.

Now, let’s configure OSMC to be able to view Netflix and other premium services.


  • Go to “Videos” > “Files”. Select “Add Videos…” > “Browse” > “UPnP Devices” > “PlayOn (your computer name)”.
  • From this list, you can browse the service you want to add as a source (e.g. Netflix).
  • Next, you can rename the name of this media source (e.g. Netflix).
  • In order to add Netflix to the home menu, go to “Settings” > “Appearance” > “Skin – Settings” > “Home – Customize Home Menu”.
  • Select “Add” on any existing shortcut and “Choose shortcut” > “Video Library” > “Sources” > “Netflix”. Select OK to save settings.
  • Now, you can start browsing your favorite TV shows and movies via PlayOn Media Server.
