Hi, Just think a bit about this. It's many people using LE with RPi3, me too, and if should be a bug like this in LE, here would be a lot of complains. Another things: what LE version do you use? Where is the log to be able to see what's wrong with your device? Did you tried with a fresh install on a spare SDcard?
For logs read wiki.libreelec.tv/support/log-files.

Did you tried with a fresh install on a spare SDcard?
yes, I've tried new install and new card
what LE version do you use?
12.2.1 (official)
Where is the log to be able to see what's wrong with your device?
devices, tried on 3 boards, the result is the same

It would be useful to see a Kodi debug log from one of the devices when trying to open the add-on.

Hi! I have the same problem. My hardware is x86 Intel Nuc8i3, LE 12.2.1 Generic PC.

Solved this problem by blocking update servers. Here is the solution:
Codeecho "127.0.0.1 update.libreelec.tv" >> /storage/.config/hosts.conf echo "127.0.0.1 releases.libreelec.tv" >> /storage/.config/hosts.conf systemctl restart networkTried a lot of things. LE 12.2.1 installed on Mini M8S PRO with S912 / 16 rom / 2 ram / RJ45: 1000M. Aside from this annoying bug the system is super stable for 1080p@60. Making it my main from now on.
