Ok, so after a couple of hours of watching content on the Vero this afternoon with no problems I’m now experiencing the crash, restart loop again. I’ve switched on debug and here are the logs:-
Ok, so I’ve narrowed the problem down to one addon. I deleted the Addons27.db file and through trial and error have narrowed the problem down to the Rector Stuff repository, as soon as I enable it OSMC crashes and goes into a crash/restart loop.
This is the repository for the Artwork Beef addon.
It might be an idea to contact the maintainer of this repository and see if anything needs to be done for v18.
17.8.347 Kodi crashes during scanning.
Crash occurs always at the same moment looking at the debug logs:

Edit: after 30+ kodi reboots it suddenly finished scraping and it didn’t crash. Fine I guess 
Edit 2: after 10m into my episode, crash and new loop. 
wow yes 347 is totally broken - can’t update library and can’t thumbnail youtube videos without crashing
I’ve done a new test build and issues still occur so am trying various builds to see what commit caused the problem.
No problem for me at all
Same problem here; any addon I’ve tried seems to crash when some thumbnails are involved. Amazon VOD, VRT.nu (local TV addon).

There may be something up with the build environment. It doesn’t appear to be a general Kodi thing, nightlies for Windows x64 and LibreELEC are fine.
I compile gmc-18 with a couple of unrelated patches and 346 worked fine, but then I applied apt updates in the chroot and compiled 347 and it crashes.
Then I purged the arm7-toolchain-osmc and removed the ccache, reinstalled the toolchain, and left it to build overnight, and my new 347 is working fine.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. Will give that a shot and see what happens.

Hey do you remember a while ago I reported that video calibration isn’t getting saved, I did a fresh install of my vero 4k, updated it to the beta version, and I did the video calibration.
After exiting the calibration with back button I could see all the ui without it being cut off around the edges.
Then I did exit -> reboot and when it loaded again I entered video calibration and reset to 0,0
I have make no mods, its a fresh install. Any ideas?

I found this just now
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=310512
perhaps this is the same thing, if you go to the last page of that thread, it seems the fix was only merged at the beginning of this month, would that be in OSMC builds yet?
That fix was specifically for Windows.
I’ll see if I can replicate. What skin are you using?
Its OSMC skin, everything is default after fresh install and only running the update to Kodi 18 as specified at top of this thread.
Im wondering if its something weird about my TV that causes it to reset.
Let me know if I can provide any logs
Still crashing.
osmc@osmc:~$ grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release
VERSION_ID="2018.10-1"
osmc@osmc:~$ dpkg -l | grep mediacenter-osmc | awk '{ print $3 }'
17.8-347just installed the october update and kodi 17.8-347 is still crashing on displaying the thumbnails for most youtube videos and when updating the library, so definitely seems to be the kodi beta specific not an os/kernel issue.
Roll back to 17.8-345, something is wrong with these last two builds.
I’ve been able to build 346 and 347, but it’s tricky. It seems to be a recent update to an SSL lib in the build environment, but I don’t know enough to find the actual fix.

That’s why these builds are still experimental. Please give @gmc some time to resolve this
