Description of the bug

On Kodi 21.3 (Omega) / CoreELEC 21.3, when logging in using an NFAuthentication.key file (plus PIN and account password), login_auth_data() in resources/lib/services/nfsession/session/access.py (lines 130–144) attempts to verify the account password by sending a POST request to the profile_hub endpoint (https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/mre/profilehub).

Netflix has deprecated/removed /api/shakti/mre/profilehub, so the server now responds with 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/mre/profilehub. Because the except exceptions.HTTPError as exc: block only catches HTTP 500 and re-raises all other HTTP status codes, the login crashes right before saving the credentials and cookies.

Additionally, in resources/lib/services/playback/am_video_events.py, _send_event() can raise an unhandled KeyError on playback start/stop if player/stream state data is not yet fully populated in event_data, which triggers an add-on error popup during playback initialization.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Select login with Authentication key (NFAuthentication.key).
2. Enter the PIN and the Netflix account password.
3. login_auth_data() calls self.post_safe("profile_hub", ...).
4. Netflix returns HTTP 404 Not Found for https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/mre/profilehub and login aborts with an unhandled HTTPError.

Debug log - mandatory

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/mre/profilehub (in resources/lib/services/nfsession/session/access.py line 143)

Possible fix

1. In resources/lib/services/nfsession/session/access.py (login_auth_data), handle HTTP 404 (or non-500 HTTPError) gracefully with a warning so that login can proceed and save the valid session cookies from NFAuthentication.key:

--- a/resources/lib/services/nfsession/session/access.py

                 raise LoginError(common.get_local_string(12344)) from exc

         common.set_credentials({"email": email, "password": password})

2. In resources/lib/services/playback/am_video_events.py, wrap _send_event() event building/dispatch in try ... except KeyError so missing telemetry keys do not interrupt playback.
