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

This works (I'm using 75 as the number) but has the major drawback of not being able to listen to old podcasts. The Nerdist podcast, for one example among many, has over 900 episodes. Anyone got a solution to implement pages of results? That would fix everything. Or how about disabling images and metadata? Otherwise this addon is seriously crippled - it crashes nearly every time for me on Kodi 17.1
