Resurrection Remix - problem with Netflix

[Latiken]

I recently installed Netflix to take advantage of a joint account on my Droid Turbo running the latest RR. I noticed, however, that I would get the mysterious black screen with only audio—no video. I googled the problem and found that several people had problems with it. None of them worked. After checking the RR forum post under Droid Turbo, I found that someone else had an issue with Netflix as well. I did what it said to do and it worked!

However, it started causing several visual glitches, most notibly when I adjusted the volume and tap and held items.

Under developer options, if I enable the switch that reads "Disable HW Overlays" it fixes the glitches, but Netflix stops displaying video.

Flipping the switch when I want to use Netflix is an easy remedy, but an annoying one. Any ideas as to what I can do to solve this?

This Netflix issue with fix is addressed in post #2 of the Resurrection Remix thread. That doesn't work?

Are you referring to the editing if build.prop?
It did, but it causes several visual glitches when items overlap other items, like the drop down menu in Chrome, or the volume slider.

Yes, that was the suggestion. But there seems to be some suggestion down there near the bottom, something about "developer options" and disable HW overlays?

Video apps Netflix HBO etc.
I'm particuly don't have this bug have teste youtube and netflix is all good, but was reported that this apps may not work for one user, the the fix is change a build.prop line:
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable

# GLES doesn't support secure display, to allow google play movies netflix
# and other apps that require a secure display we need to enable this
# but this cause screen fragments and glitch , this is a odd bug may not occur always, so is disabled by default
# to enable this change the false to true on the below line in the build.prop and to prevent screen bugs enable
# Disable HW overlays on developer options to not have glitch on the screen
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false

Yes, but once you disable HW overlays, Netflix stops working once again. So essentially it becomes a "turn it off when you aren't using it" situation which is annoying, especially when you have to deal with the volume slider glitching while watching Netflix anyways.

OK, sorry. Then, I don't know.

Its an okay remedy, but I was hoping there was a more permanent solution, considering Netflix is widely used.
