I guess there's something wrong with the tags on your music files. What soft do you use to tag your files? You could try to put some files in a test directory, tagged with Picard for instance and see if kodi crashes too.

i use puddletag and banshee, kodi seems to be the only music player that has issues, everything else from rhythmbox to banshee to clementine to vlc has no issues

That was now answered 25 times in this forum. Please retry if it is fixed in v16 beta5. 15.2 is out of development.
Sorry for reacting harsh (was just really the 5th time I got that issue posted in here and only one time I got a sample and sadly could not reproduce).

Would be thankful for a sample, to make really sure it is fixed in upcoming v16.

It would also be helpful if you could upload one of those mp3s - so that I can try to reproduce with latest git.

what do u mean by a sample? i would be happy to help i just gotta know what i need to do, and sure i can upload one of the mp3s to my webserver for u

heres one of my mp3 music files http://compu.ml/ghostbusters.mp3

Good news. It does not crash kodi v17 anymore. Now I have to rebuild stock 15.2 and see if that also would have crashed for me.

If you want, you can try to upgrade to 16.0beta5 and see if it works now.

it also crashes whenever i try to play videos, heres the crashlog for that https://gist.github.com/ask-compu/3d096b7b03bf6e1e9740

how do i switch to the beta?

I now recompiled 15.2 on my laptop and guess what: no crash at all :-(

so why is mine crashing?

Your video crash is something else. Your old GPU is not supported by VAAPI, which crashes when you start a video.

Go to Video -> Acceleration (Advancedsettings Menu) and disable VAAPI acceleration.

Concerning the mp3 crash - I think it's most likely related to the libtag version 14.0.4 is running, that's why I cannot reproduce I think.

We need someone with Ubuntu 14.04 to compile with debug symbols and crash it for us.

oh alright, do u know when this will be fixed? is it a problem with libtag or kodi? i think its kodi cuz dont other media players use libtag? none of my other media players r crashing
