Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze in the Flatpak 1.1.2 environment described, focusing on GUI interaction, pausing, and episode selection. Inspect the supplied WebKitWebProcess crash log and compare behavior across those interactions; done means the app no longer freezes or crashes during them.

Describe the bug
Since the Flatpak update away from the 4.4 Stremio version, I've had a difficult time using it. Everything freezes all the time. I've updated the system several times since then, and I've gone from release 1.0.* to 1.1.2 now, but it has not fixed my problem.
Previously, I had installed an older Flatpak package to keep 4.4, but now it's no longer available.
Most of the time it simply freezes and hangs, never closing unless forced, so it doesn't produce an error message. This happens mostly in the GUI and in interaction with elements, if I manage to get into a stream, it will run fine, until I need to either pause it, or choose the next episode, with mixed results (sometimes it just works fine)
