Hi all,
I had the same Issue using the (meanwhile 1 week old) nightly of Kodi 17 beta with the DVBlink plugin comming with it and the current version of DVBlink server.
Really annoying, Kodi crashed almost every time after it had been running for a while (the PC is always on or on standby because it also hosts the dvblink-Server and manages the recordings).
Then I tried something that seems to have solved it (only three kodi crashes so far which seem to be related to be nightly I'm using as they happend randomly not having something to do with TV)
My recordings are stored on a different physical drive than the system including kodi and dvb-link. So with the standard power cofiguration windows turns off the hard drive not currently in use.
So when kodi sets the PC into sleep and wakes it up later, the second hard drive might continue to sleep. When you now try to enter the TV recordings section it doesn't find whats supposed to be there and crashes.
Solution:
Set the HDD idle time to the highest possible value, so that its always on when the PC is not sleeping. (When the PC is sleeping its turned off as well, so the environment and power bill are fine

)
I had this issue before with Kodi 16, but that version didn't crash, I "just" didn't show any recordings until kodi was restarted. Also annying...

Would it be possible to always send a wakeup event when opening the section? This would solve all issues for users with multiple hard drives...
