While I still believe Kodi should not crash, after some more study I see now in Python APi a v18 change for WindowXML: There's now a new parameter for creating an instance of "IsMedia" which defaults to false. But, AFAICT, extendedinfoscript is not actually using WindowXML for the window, rather DialogXML. DialogXML doesn't have the option of setting "IsMedia", so my guess is that is the source of the trouble which eventually leads to the crash. If that's right, the addon needs to be changed either to eliminate the idea of of treating its windows as media windows (and hence, you can't change a "view" in them), or change the code to create a window rather than a dialog (but I think it is also setting "doModal" which I don't know, but suspect can't be done on windows, just dialogs).
I might try PRing my workaround to Phil66's github for consideration as a permanent fix.
