I ran into the intermittent crashing issue also - and learned how to fix it.

The plugin crashes only on feeds with many items (where presumably each podcast episode has a different cover art) - although mostly not the first time you open a feed, so I decided to limit the items that get displayed for each podcast to 14 (might be ok to choose a bigger value), and so far it has fixed the issue for me.

To do that, just replace

Code:

return __add_podcast_items(content_type, podcast_id, podcast_items)

in the addon.py
with

Code:

return __add_podcast_items(content_type, podcast_id, podcast_items[:14])

save the changes, and move the file back over to your Kodi installation.

so long
