Can you post a "kodi log" from the LE settings addon (using build #1006) so I can see if there's anything useful in the system log? You could also try the various 5.3-rc builds - there are 8 rc builds - as that might help narrow it down (see the 5.3 PR for links). 

While trying to narrow this down, I tried older builds like #0620, #0801, #0901, #0913-#0916, and they all work fine.  The change appears to be between rc-8 and the final build.

Here is a link to the log generated from the #1007 build - http://ix.io/1XXl
