However, I'm finding that Kodi will hang on exit due to the 'skin helper service'. These are my logs when I try to exit:

I also disabled Arctic Zephyr and disabled 'skin helper service' and I suddently am able to exit Kodi just fine. Is there an issue with this addon that just needs to get fixed? Or am I doing something wrong?
This should not happen at all, the code is created to make sure a clean shutdown happens at all times.
Looking at your log somehow the service gets started again right after it stopped.
Tbh I did not yet hear about this issue before so I'm starting to think something is messed on your end.
One think you could try to rule it all out is to make a backup of your kodu userdata folder, and start fresh (rename or delete the userdata folder).
Only install the skin (and so the skinhelper addon) and look if it quits properly.
One thing that pops into my head is that you have a duplicated version of the addon on your setup, might happen if you install from Git (never do that).
Just did a complete wipe. Installed Kodi 16.1, then installed the 'Arctic Zephyr' skin (I pulled the 'Jarvis' branch from it's GitHub, and installed from zip). It then seemed to exit fine.
I then started bringing back some of addons I was using. I installed Emby, Advanced Launcher, along with some others, and got them setup how I like them, and it's still exiting properly. I'll let you know if I see any freezes in the future, and will provide logs if the time comes.
