What Kigo Netflix Downloader does (brief)

- At least 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended)
- 200 MB free disk space for the app; additional space for downloads (varies by video)

Before you start — legal and account notes
- Downloads via Netflix are intended for personal use under Netflix’s terms. Check your local laws and Netflix’s Terms of Service before downloading.
- You need an active Netflix subscription and an account that has access to the content you want.
Step 1 — Download and install Kigo Netflix Downloader
- Visit the official Kigo website and download the installer for your OS.
- Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions.
- Launch Kigo after installation completes.
Step 2 — Log in to Netflix within Kigo
- In Kigo, click the “Sign In” or “Open Netflix” button.
- A built-in browser will open. Enter your Netflix credentials and sign in.
- Once logged in, you should see the Netflix homepage inside Kigo.
Step 3 — Configure download settings
- Open Settings (gear icon).
- Choose download quality (High/Medium/Low). Higher quality uses more space.
- Select subtitle preferences: embed subtitles, save as external .srt, or none.
- Set output path for downloaded files.
- (Optional) Enable hardware acceleration for faster downloads if available.
Step 4 — Find the movie or TV show
- Use the built-in Netflix search bar inside Kigo or browse categories.
- Open the page of the movie or the TV show you want to download.
Step 5 — Download a movie
- On the movie page, click the “Download” button.
- Choose quality and subtitle options if prompted.
- Click “Download” again to start. The download progress appears in the “Downloading” tab.
Step 6 — Download episodes from a TV series
- Open the TV show page, then the season listing.
- Click the download icon next to an episode to download individually.
- To batch download, select multiple episodes (check boxes) and click “Download Selected.”
- Kigo may prompt for subtitle track choices when downloading episodes.
Step 7 — Monitor and manage downloads
- Open the “Downloading” tab to see progress, pause, resume, or cancel downloads.
- Completed downloads appear in the “Downloaded” tab, where you can play, open folder, or remove files.
- If a download fails, try pausing and resuming, or re-download.
Step 8 — Playing downloaded files
- Play directly inside Kigo’s built‑in player or open the output folder and use your preferred media player.
- If subtitles were saved externally (.srt), load them in your media player or rename them to match the video filename.
Optional — Convert or change format
- Kigo typically saves files in MP4 or MKV. If you need a different format, use a converter (HandBrake, FFmpeg).
- Example FFmpeg command to convert to MP4:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4
Troubleshooting common issues
- Login issues: Clear Kigo cache, re-enter credentials, or update Kigo to latest version.
- Download fails/stops: Check internet connection, disable VPN/proxy, update app.
- Missing subtitles: Ensure subtitle option selected before downloading; re-download if necessary.
- Poor video quality: Increase download quality in Settings (if available) and re-download.
Tips for best results
- Prefer wired connections or strong Wi‑Fi for batch downloads.
- Monitor available disk space before large downloads.
- Use the app’s built‑in player to verify subtitle sync before converting.
- Keep Kigo and your system updated.
Alternatives and final notes
If Kigo doesn’t meet your needs, other tools and the official Netflix app offer offline watching but differ in features and platform support. Always respect Netflix’s terms and copyright laws.
