Hi, after Kodi worked flawlessly for a few weeks it suddenly started to crash regularly. Sometimes it happens seconds after the launch, sometimes when a streamed/local video is running for a few seconds to minutes. I am running Kodi 14.2 on a Raspbian driven Pi2.
Being a total noob, I don't know how to proceed to solve the problem. Any help would be really appreciated. I would even offer a small amount of money if someone looked into my whole setup and gave me some tips how to make it stable.

I'd start with disabling the overclock. Especially the sdram_freq=500 which doesn't work on all Pi2's.

Thanks for the advice. However, after resetting the overclock settings to default and rebooting, the Pi still crashed after 1 minute of video playback.

Next, can you rename the .kodi directory.

Code:

mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi_back

Then restart. That will remove any add-ons and custom kodi settings. See if that avoids the crash.
If you want to restore your settings you can:

Code:

rm -rf ~/.kodi
mv ~/.kodi_back ~/.kodi

This didn't help either. Same crash, new log: http://xbmclogs.com/pzosoesmv

Can I restore my old settings now?

How about the Pi power supply?
If you have a marginal PS or a too thin cable you can expect all kinds of problems.

If you are primarily using Kodi, then a dedicated distribution (like OpenELEC or OSMC) is strongly recommended.

Good point.
I have built a couple of XBMC/KODI boxes using RaspBMC and OSMC (follow-up to RaspBMC) and they have worked just fine. No problems save for my diddling around trying to do special stuff.
