I just updated to Kodi 19 and I am testing it. Shoutcast seems to be compatible (icecast is not) but when trying to reproduce some radio station, Kodi crashes with a sad face. I can reproduce this consistently. The logs seems not very useful:

Somebody else can reproduce this issue?
Thanks.
PS: Trying Kodi 19 and shoutcast addon in a Linux laptop, it works fine.
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:
enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
reproduce the issue
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.
Just to be sure this is not related to my configuration, I just downloaded OSMC again (2021.8) and I created a clean install. I can NOT reproduce the issue with the OSMC Skin (YES, I COULD), but if I change the skin to Estuary, the problems happens frequently, although not 100% of the time. When kodi doesn’t crash, I see several “weird” effects in the screen, like if the signal was missing for a moment or full white screen. It is obvious that something goes wrong at the time, even if Kodi is not crashing (*).
(*) After recording the screen with a high speed camera, The effect I am seeing is the dark overlay appearing/disappearing several times when the shoutcast addon is trying to start the stream. I would guess the issue is a race condition related to this “effect”.
