Same issue here on OSMC on a Rpi3. Cant’t use Netflix anymore. The process crashes when extracting the downloaded ChromeOS Image and I have to reboot.

Nop, same error with script.module.inputstreamhelper-0.4.1-armfix-5dc3e7b.zip. Please note i’m on OSMC (aarch64).
Before updating, i was in the process to debug it. I added debug in _run_cmd, and the losetup is wrong, the offset passed is False. Currently debugging the _chrome_offset function.
Edit:
The fdisk -l splitting is failing, because the filename is long. There is no 2 spaces in the header between Size and Type and they are seen as one, so it never detect Size itself, fail to found the header line, and return False.
Edit 2:
Even if the comment says about splitting by whitespace is not sufficient, i tried. Now it cannot convert the int('10M'). Trying to add --bytes to fdisk.
Edit 3:
The last line about Partition not in the right order messed up the parsing too. But i got it working, lemme do a patch right now.
