Has anyone ever had this issue before?
It is plaguing one of my two very similar Kodi boxes.
Affected:
Haswell Core i5-4570T
8GB RAM
Geforce GT 720
Unaffected:
Haswell Celeron G1840
4GB RAM
Geforce GT 720
The install followed the same approach for both (essentially follow this guide by Fritsch but omit anything that has anything to do with VA, use the stable Kodi PPA, don't use wsnipex repository, and install nvidia binary drivers and vdpau libraries. Essentially a stable branch no-Desktop Environment install on top of Openbox, using Nvidia Binary Blob drivers and VDPAU.
I have scanned through the log files and have seen nothing that stands out to me. It doesn't appear as if the issue results in a proper "crash" of Kodi, just that the menu freezes (usually partially faded out), but the box is clearly still functional with the video and audio continuing to play (but now it can't be controlled, as the UI doesn't take any input.
I usually have to fix this by switching to a text console (ctrl-alt-F1) and then rebooting (ctrl-alt-del)
Some googling for similar issues has only turned up this unresolved reddit post thus far.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
