phil65. noticing constant crashing of the script using any of the 5.+ releases on just about any skin. This happen mainly when selecting a actor thumbnail from within the main Kodi interface. I can run extended info by running the addon directly without a crash.
Dropping back to 4.6+ version fixes the problem.
Hopefully pertinent info pasted below:
