Kodi como alternativa Linux a Netflix
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Kodi can be used to watch Netflix on Linux, but it requires installing a third‑party add‑on that hooks into the official Netflix web interface. For users who want a single application to browse, log in, and play Netflix content on a TV‑sized screen, Kodi is a viable option, especially if you already use it for local media. However, it is not a drop‑in replacement for the official Netflix app on other platforms, and the experience can be less polished than the native Windows or mobile clients.

Lo que funciona igual
- Both provide a user interface for browsing and playing video content
- Both support streaming over the internet
- Both allow playback on a TV‑sized screen via a 10‑foot UI
- Both can be controlled with a remote or gamepad
Lo que cambia
- Kodi does not have an official Netflix client; it relies on community add‑ons that may be less stable
- Netflix’s DRM (Widevine) is not natively supported in Kodi; add‑ons must use external libraries or a web view
- Kodi lacks the integrated account management and recommendation engine of Netflix
- Netflix’s adaptive bitrate streaming is handled by its own player; Kodi’s add‑on may not fully support all codecs
- Kodi does not provide the same level of content discovery and personalized recommendations as Netflix
Abrir tus archivos de Netflix
Netflix content is streamed from the service and is not stored as local files, so there is nothing to open or export. Kodi can only play the stream via the add‑on; it does not provide a way to download or save Netflix videos for offline use.

- 1. Install Kodi from your distribution’s package manager or Flathub.
- 2. Open Kodi and go to the Add‑ons section.

Cómo instalar Kodi en Linux

Does Kodi support DRM for Netflix?
The official Netflix add‑on for Kodi uses the web view of the Netflix site, which handles DRM internally. However, some add‑ons may not fully support Widevine, leading to playback errors. Check the add‑on documentation for DRM support.
Can I watch Netflix on my laptop with Kodi?
Yes, but you need to install the add‑on and ensure your system has the necessary libraries (e.g., libwidevinecdm). On some distributions, additional steps are required to enable DRM.
Is the experience the same as the official Netflix app?
No. Kodi provides a generic media center interface; the Netflix add‑on offers a simplified login and playback flow, but it lacks the personalized recommendations, search suggestions, and background data usage controls of the official app.
