Since you have had some time off Roman, a bit more testing for you.
I just want to try out a hunch if you are up for it, and your data gathering is better than mine on Windows.

JSON command No.4

Code:

http://<RPi IP address>/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "audioLibrary.Getalbums", "params": { "limits": { "start" : 0, "end":1000 }, "properties": ["title", "description", "albumlabel", "theme", "mood", "style", "type", "artist", "genre", "year", "rating", "playcount"] } }

Replace <RPi IP address> of course.

Maybe modify the end limit of 1000 depending on how things go.

Try this with rapid repeats on Kodi without Xonfluence or LDP or Skin Helper Service addons etc., and this time also turn off the TV Show - Next Aired addon (enabled by default in v18), keep the log nice and clean.

If you can report the memory and kodi debug log just as you did before that would be great.

My hunch is texture related, hence not requesting artwork this time otherwise the JSON processing uses the thumbnail loader. Flailing around a bit with this really, but worthwhile since your Pi and real library are more sensitive than my test setup is to this issue.
