Correct way to disable a service addon

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

What is the correct way to disable a service addon, the example code from the wiki:-

Code:
import time
import xbmc

if __name__ == '__main__':
    monitor = xbmc.Monitor()

    while not monitor.abortRequested():
        # Sleep/wait for abort for 10 seconds
        if monitor.waitForAbort(10):
            # Abort was requested while waiting. We should exit
            break
        xbmc.log("hello addon! %s" % time.time(), level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)

Crashes Kodi 17.3 Linux when pressing the Disable button Sad But works fine under 17.3 windows.

I get no crash log and these are the last entrys in the kodi.log file:-

Code:

Then the UI just hangs.

Any help please.
