## General information
Running 0.14.0-beta18 on Libreelec Milhouse build 1126 (the latest) on RPi 3B+.

### Description
Since this morning, no videos will play at all. When a video is started an error message is displayed:
Netflix returned the following error: Unable to create context (due to ContentException) for viewableID 80018860.

(The viewableID changes for each video so is presumably a unique identifier.)

Additional info:
Last night I was having difficulties with the Netflix addon in that playback was very choppy with lots of buffering, which is unusual for me as I have very fast FTTH.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Open Netflix addon
2. Navigate to and select video to play.

Error log can be found at http://ix.io/1uzp

Research direction

Start by reproducing playback from the Netflix add-on using the listed LibreELEC and Raspberry Pi environment, then inspect the error log at http://ix.io/1uzp and trace the playback path that reports “Unable to create context.” Done means selecting videos no longer produces the ContentException and playback starts normally.
