Thanks Milhouse! Downloaded and updated my debug SD card. Probably have to wait until after midnight my time for it to crash but I will upload the logs if it does.

Well, I can say that build 403 hasn't been crashing at midnight, so maybe it has something to do with myth vs wmc pvr stuff? I did have one crash when the WMC PVR plugin apparently updated itself because I had a dialog show up saying that the dependencies hadn't been met and asked if I wanted to disable the addon. I said NO, and then when I went to the TV/Channels tab, it blew up. After Kodi restarted itself, it has been fine since. It had been up for quite some time, so I assume that the addon did some kind of automatic update. Does that sound right?
So far, since I added the "hvs_priority=0xf3fc" option to config.txt that popcornmix suggested, it's all been going well. I've been using DVDPlayer instead of OMXPlayer. It did get way out of sync once yesterday when the wife was watching something, and I mean like more than 1 second off. I just had her end the playback and then resume it and it was all fine after that. In retrospect, I wish that I had brought up the codec overlay and checked out the information before ending the playback. I have "adjust display refresh rate to match video" and "Sync playback to display" both disabled. It seems to work better playing live TV, but I haven't done extensive tests on it.

pvr.wmc is yet to update with PVR API 1.9.6 hence the dialog asking if it should be disabled... I assume it will be updated in due course, and when it is it will be included in the build. I added PR:4 in the last build thinking it would include the API bump but on further investigation apparently not.

I thought it was weird that the dialog didn't come at start up, but after it had been running for quite some time. At any rate, it seems to work okay.
Well it has one issue that has been around for a while. It gets an error when you try to play the most recent finished recording. It can play the in-progress recording ok, but when it moves to the completed list, it won't play until you restart Kodi. No big deal, I assume that will be fixed at some point. Restarting only takes a few seconds (Pi2) so we can live it with it.
Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. It works so don't leave it out, please. It's an absolute deal killer at our house if it can't be used. It's pretty much all we use Kodi for, a front-end to a WMC DVR setup.
Thanks again for the hard work. It keeps getting better all the time. I'm really happy with the speed of things.

Holy #£&@... something looks to have gone seriously wrong in the add-on department...
Can you make a backup of your Databases directory, delete all your Addons##.db files and see if the problem continues?
Did you say this problem started with #0403?

Thanks for the tip. I deleted the addon db and restarted so we will see if it acts weird again overnight.
