@SamuraiCoder Your logs don't really show me anything that might cause this issue. There are some errors with retrieving the IPTV backend, but that shouldn't really cause any crashes. The problem is that I don't use PVR, so I can only test things on the demo PVR client, which in turn means that I can't switch between backends to try and reproduce the issue, so I really need some logs to know where to start looking. Kodi automatically runs a log, and crashes shouldn't influence that. By default, logs are recorded in the root of the installation directory and are named "kodi.log" or "kodi.old.log". If you can, reproduce the crash, then go and see if there are any logs. If a log exists, paste it on pastebin or wherever, and we'll take it from there.
@curael I forgot to mention a couple of things you could try. First, you can try to reset all the skin settings, and play a file. Basically, you can just go to the skin userdata, remove the settings.xml and then start Kodi - if the experiment fails, you can always return the file and get back all the settings. It might be that there's some legacy renegade setting that causes this issue, and the skin gets confused. Another thing that you might try is fiddling with the visibility conditions for the backgrounds - go to Includes_Furniture.xml line 643 and below. It just might be that a modification of a condition might do the trick for you? You can even try deleting one of the later image controls and see if it helps.
I've done some digging, and I've found some differences in the original skins' implementation, in that it places a dummy image at the forefront, even before the video itself. Now, I have no idea why this is so, but it might be the reason why it works for you. If you're willing to test it, you can paste the following code in the Includes_Furniture.xml, before the videowindow (immediately below line 643). That ought to add the fake poster into the mix.
@tomasiek Great! Let me know when you're finished.

xml:<control type="image">

<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="0" condition="true">Conditional</animation>
