I can confirm problem still exitsts on 8.20 on an x86 platform

There were huge improvements in that section at Kodi18 so it is likely that is is already fixed. If you try a milhouse build it should be working (hopefully).

I've managed to run this problem to ground in Kodi Krypton.

The problem is caused by the Now & Next Recording Widgets at the top of the PVR Section of the Home screen.

I've worked around the issue by creating a copy of the default estuary skin, and editing Home.xml to remove those two widgets:

Code

<control type="group" id="12000">
<visible>String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),livetv)</visible>
<include content="Visible_Right_Delayed">
<param name="id" value="livetv"/>
</include>
<control type="grouplist" id="12001">
<include>WidgetGroupListCommon</include>
<!--Commented this out to see if it resolves bug of PVR crashing in PVR Section of Home Window-->
<!--<control type="grouplist" id="12855">
<height>390</height>
<left>0</left>
<right>0</right>
<top>36</top>
<orientation>horizontal</orientation>
<visible>PVR.IsRecordingTV | PVR.HasNonRecordingTVTimer</visible>
<align>center</align>
<control type="group">
<width>674</width>
<visible>PVR.IsRecordingTV</visible>
<include content="PVRWidget">
<param name="icon" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNowRecordingChannelIcon]" />
<param name="header" value="$LOCALIZE[19158]" />
<param name="label1" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNowRecordingDateTime]" />
<param name="label2" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNowRecordingTitle][CR][COLOR=grey]$INFO[PVR.TVNowRecordingChannel][/COLOR]" />
</include>
</control>
<control type="group">
<width>674</width>
<visible>PVR.HasNonRecordingTVTimer</visible>
<include content="PVRWidget">
<param name="icon" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNextRecordingChannelIcon]" />
<param name="header" value="$LOCALIZE[19157]" />
<param name="label1" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNextRecordingDateTime]" />
<param name="label2" value="$INFO[PVR.TVNextRecordingTitle][CR][COLOR=grey]$INFO[PVR.TVNextRecordingChannel][/COLOR]" />
</include>
</control>
</control>-->

It would be nice if you could submit this bug including the "solution" to the Kodi bug tracker:

Kodi - TRAC

**chewitt** · November 27, 2017 at 8:27 PM Official Post

The main Kodi DVB maintainer asks that you update to a Leia build and retest before filing trac tickets against Krypton for two reasons:

a) Krypton is a dead codebase so nothing will ever be fixed there

b) There are lots of DVB issue fixes in Leia so there's a good chance it's already been addressed

@jahutchi can you submit this?

lightman · December 7, 2017 at 1:50 PM

and how to adjust the home.xml?

lightman · January 22, 2018 at 9:07 AM

does somebody knows when this bug is fixed? is it already addressed to the team?

**CvH** · January 22, 2018 at 3:52 PM Official Post

did anyone tried an LE9 build with latest Kodi 18 alpha if the problem is still there ?

lightman · January 24, 2018 at 8:15 PM

how to test that? how to compile / install such al build

**milhouse** · January 24, 2018 at 8:23 PM

Quote from lightman

how to test that? how to compile / install such al build

LE 9/Kodi 18 test builds for Generic are here. You can upgrade by dropping the LE9 tar file in your Upgrade Samba share. Downgrade back to 8.2.3 by performing a manual update in the LibreELEC Settings add-on.

This problem btw. still exists with fresh install of LE 9. Just leave Kodi running for several hours/days with TV menu selected. Fresh install of LE 9 generic with TVheadend client/server running on same machine.
