Not only plugin has changed. Now you use Kodi 14 instead Gotham. If you haven't backend crash causing the freeze (check backend logs) then cause is in Kodi itself. I propose you to enable addon option "Internal demuxing" if your channels provide MPEG-TS stream: It could be a workaround to bypass bug in Kodi demuxer.

EDIT: Also you could compile the new addon for Gotham (using git branch gotham) and then try it with Gotham.

Thank you very much.

No the backend hasn't crashed, and nothing in the backend logs looks suspicious (though I am by no means an expert on what to look for there)

I took a look at the plugin demuxing, but it was already enabled. Maybe I will try to disable it and see if that makes a difference.

Debug log (wiki)

I presume this was targeted at me. Fair enough.

I've enabled logging in Kodi and extra log info in the plugin and am waiting for it to freeze again, and will provide details when it does.
