Hi, all. Older poster here.
Former XBMC->Kodi install (2:17.6+git20171114.2125-final-0trusty) on a Ubuntu (14.04.5 LTS) Zotac box was getting a bit long in the tooth, so decided to go for some new silent hardware (Gigabit GB-BXBT box) and follow this guide. Everything worked pretty much perfectly, give or take the odd mistake I made.
However, this new setup doesn't appear to be as stable. When I was first configuring the display options (setting overscan values) to resize the display port sometimes the screen would blank then bring the Kodi logo up, as though Kodi itself had restarted - but forgetting the overscan values so the picture was off-display. I've also noted that although the screen fits the TV fine when media isn't playing, when something's playing those overscan values aren't honoured - the date/time and subtitle menu is offscreen again.
But that's a moot point - the issue I have is Kodi seemingly restarting itself when not playing (returning to a blank screen), and crashing when it does - actually freezing the box itself part-way through the episode I'm watching: the image appears frozen onscreen and the box no longer responds to pings. Unfortunately this means I don't have a proper debug log (nothing is written).
I've uploaded information about my setup to pastebin:

Hope those will shed some light. I'm not convinced it's the kodi build, it seems I'm using the same on my Zotac and that's pretty stable, but hopefully those logs can be of help. If not - any other commands I can run, or information I can provide?
