Hi Martin. I installed the latest Matrix over my current 18.8 and then tried to install from zip file knewc 2.9.0 but kodi keeps crashing and closing when trying to install knewc. NextPVR is linux and is configured correctly as I can watch live tv with kodi. Here is the crashlog from kodi.

Seem to be working fine. There is something I noticed shown in this image that I'm wondering if it should be there. There is a -| shown by the red arrow in the image that scrolls about once a second from under the M to the end of the 9. Do you see it in your setup?
