Okay...I read the thread on OSMC and saw that the problem started with Isengard 15.X, but worked before with Helix 14.X?
At the moment I've to assume that OSMC isn't closing the database correctly after dealing with the YouTube addon - for what reasons ever can you try the version 5.1.9 of the YouTube addon?

Also I updated pledgie regarding the donation...is it working for you now?

I just did the update to 5.1.9, but unfortunately issue is still not fixed.
If I recall correctly, I always had issues with this ever since I bought my RaspberryPi2 (in June), but it was more random and happened more rarely. I remember opening popcorntime from time to time and not seeing kodi listed, but after a restart it would usually start working again.
But in more recent time its much more predictable - I know exactly why it stops working and how to fix it. And its only possible to fix by deleting that addons database, no amounts of random restarts alone will fix it.
I guess that's a good thing, because if I know what is causing problems, I can prevent them and not get affected when I need my Kodi the most. But still I would like to see this resolved.

Pledgie is working now

By the way, may I know what is even stored in that database? Deleting it seems to have no effect whatsoever, no settings are removed, I am still logged in into my Youtube account, and there is no time delay at boot or freeze caused by regenerating database.

Thanks for the donation...If I recall correctly the addons#.db stores the addons of the repositories (cahced)?
