Recently Kodi started crashing whenever I update my music library. I haven't added/removed any songs in my library for a while so I don't know what's going on.
I first noticed it actually when playing certain songs would cause Kodi to crash (these songs definitely used to play fine). I figured that maybe the database was corrupt, so I reset the library and scanned it again, but then it crashed on the very first song. So I moved that one song out of the library and tried again and it crashed on the second song. I tried moving all of the songs out of the library and moving them in little by little and scanning but it still crashes on almost every single one. There are a handful of songs that it can successfully scan, but it's not clear why it fails on some and succeeds with others.
Since a huge portion of my library is apparently unscannable, just re-acquiring the failing songs is not a desirable solution. Also the files Kodi fails on work fine with mpd. It scan them into its library and play them without issue. So I really think this is a Kodi issue and not something I should fix with my music files.
Here's the crash log with debug output: https://gist.github.com/silverhammermba/...fe23a17c5f
Though the only interesting thing I can see there is what it was scanning when it crashed.
I'm running Kodi 15.2-1 on an up-to-date Arch Linux x86_64 system.
