Amber Update Not Working With Kodi Krypton

I have a nvidia TV running kodi krypton and after the update screen just goes black. I uninstalled kodi and reinstalled and I am still having this same problem. Is there a way I can go back to the previous version of amber because I never had this prob...

Total crash when accessing ‘showtimerrule’ window if one-shot timer exists

I've been making extensive use of the cool feature ksoo added here for a while now. It basically allows you to access the create timer/series link screen directly from any EPG entry and it makes for super-quick series linking. I've noticed a bug though and it causes Kodi to completely crash. This occurs when you try to access the epg event's context menu for a programme that already has a one-shot timer set. To reproduce, first assign a key to the showtimerrule window, in my case I've mapped it to a long press of the 'r' key like so:

Code:
    <tvguide>
        <keyboard>
            <r>Record</r>
            <r mod="longpress">showtimerrule</r>
        </keyboard>
    </tvguide>


once that's done, simply enter the EPG, find a programme which is part of a series and currently has no timers set on it. Press 'r' to create a one-shot timer. Now hold 'r' to bring up the showtimerrule windows. In my case, I now get a crash. This is what is left in Event Viewer afterwards:

Code:
Faulting application name: Kodi.exe, version: 17.0.901.0, time stamp: 0x58af1a17

I'm using Kodi 17.1RC with the DVBLink addon. The DVBLink backend is running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 box. I tried enabling debig logging but the last line is just CInputManager logging the long press of 'r' and then nothing.

edit: found a crash dump.
