Description

*I'm submitting a ...*
- [*] bug report
- [ ] feature request
- [ ] support request

## General information. Fresh install of Kodi 18 and the latest netflix addon. All requirements are met. Netflix starts up and seems to work fine. Except at startup of kodi the error message appears: "Netflix error. Check log for details". Am using Aura Skin and have widgets for netflix enabled, to show automatically, before I have started the addon, to show me the lastest netflix additions.

### Prerequisites

* [*] Are you running the latest version?

### Description

It seems that somehow the addon cannot login to netflix when Kodi starts. Not untill the actual addon has run once do the features of the Aura skin appear.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Install everything as should be.
2. restart kodi
3. error message appears
4. widgets that use netflix information disappear
5. start netflix addon, exit out of addon
6. widgets appear

**Expected behavior:** What I expected is that when Kodi starts the addon would be able to login into the account and show the requested information in the widget.

**Actual behavior:** It doesn't seem to login to the netflix account, selecting the proper profile (there are 5) and starting the widgets properly.

## Context (Environment)
Windows 10 - Kodi 18 - Netflix 0.13.21
Proper netflix account.

### Installation

* [ ] I installed the plugin via zip from the Releases page
* [*] I´m using the Netflix Repo
* [ ] I´m using a different source (Please tell which)

### Operating System

* [ ] Linux (x86/x64)
* [ ] OSX (x86/x64)
* [* ] Windows (x86/x64)
* [ ] Linux (ARM)
* [ ] Android

Research direction

Start with the linked kodi.log and reproduce the Kodi startup sequence described in the issue, focusing on Netflix authentication, profile selection, and Aura skin widget loading before the addon is opened. Done means Kodi 18 on Windows can start with the Netflix widgets populated without requiring the Netflix addon to be opened first.
