Kodi crashing when projectm is installed

[teeedubb]

Hi,

I am experiencing crashes when projectm is installed on my system. Crashes occur when starting music or live tv. Disabling the addon in kodi does not make the issue go away, I have to use apt to remove kodi-visualisation-projectm. I do not need to restart kodi to for the crashes to stop, removing the package is enough.

Crash logs of the issue:
AMD gpu

Intel GPU

System is ubuntu 20.04 with kodi 19 installed. This issue happens on two systems, both intel cpu's, with one using the igpu and the other using a amd gpu. Both systems have almost identical software installed, with tweaks for each brand of gpu.

I have been able to consistently reproduce the issue/fix on both systems.

projectM dev here. There are many crash and memory issues in previous releases, which are now fixed. I'd recommend to update the Kodi plug-in to use the new 4.0 release, as this addresses most of the crash issues seen in the 3.1 release series. Plus, with the upcoming 4.1 release, Milkdrop compatibility will get a major bump, as the whole renderer, presetp arser and expression evaluator have been rewritten, making projectM compatible with most Milkdrop 2 presets.
