I experienced terrible tearing in Netflix (Kodi video worked fine), and installed a compositor called Compton to fix it. Compton fixed tearing in Netflix, but triggered the "audio continues but video/Kodi is frozen until you kill -9 it" bug normally seen when you don't have prefer VAAPI rendering turned off. Disabling VAAPI entirely fixed it, but Compton was the root cause-- I killed Compton and the problem went away.
Still trying to figure out how to make Netflix watchable-- the tearing is really bad. But not at the cost of Kodi working or running in software mode. And I have a roku3 on that TV anyway, and the TV itself can run Netflix for that matter, so it's kind of a hobby/academic thing anyway.
TL;DR, Long story short, don't run Compton. If you found this post from a Google search, hi!
