I'm having serious problems with Omega (lemmy.ca)

I've got a very simple Kodi setup:

Arch Linux on a laptop behind the TV
Media files on a server upstairs, shared over NFS

I've been running Kodi quite successfully on this machine for years, but with the Omega update, videos play without audio for about 10seconds, then freeze. Sometimes if I wait a while, I see subtitles for the episode while the video is frozen. Music doesn't play either. The interface freezes too, to the point where I have to kill -9 it. Switching from Wayland to Xorg hasn't had an effect.

I tried deleting ~/.kodi and restarting, but nothing changes.

Has anyone else run into this?

I have some music and videos shared via NFS and haven't had any problems playing those. Kodi has crashed a fair amount since updating to Omega, once immediately after launching Kodi. A lot of the time it was when playing video from YouTube and I've updated that plugin to a beta version and it's been better so far.

Fwiw, I'm using the flatpak install on Lubuntu
