After installing the helper script, Kodi crashes immediately after it finished loading and it tries to access private folders in /home/username. File a bug report here.

I installed the skin Estuary MOD V2 (to be able to add a page for Documentaries to the sidebar and add streams from an addon to the Movies/Docus) and it showed a prompt to install the Embuary helper. I pressed Yes, it got installed and then Kodi crashed. Afterwards, I could not start Kodi again as it crashes immediately after it finished loading.

Moreover, like malware it tries to access all the hidden folders in /home/username which Kodi didn't do before installing the helper, which it doesn't need to do and which firejail sandboxing prevented.

I moved the folders script.embuary.info and script.embuary.helper out of /home/username/.kodi/addons/ and could start Kodi again and uninstalled the skin. Before uninstalling I tried to install embuary.helper again which caused the same two problems, so it's embuary.helper, not embuary.info or both that cause this crash.

I'm using Debian 11 with Kodi 19.1 and Embuary helper 2.0.8. Maybe this should be moved to the thread about the Estuary MOD V2 skin but it's also relevant here as the Embuary Helper is causing the crashes.
