Tidal oficial Kodi plugin, crash OpenElec >=8.0.2

[tbogdan]

Hi guys,

As I couldn't get Tidal Official Kodi plugin working on OpenElec, today I've done more tests in order to post here a detailed bug report.
The bug manifests on OpenElec 8.0.2, 8.0.3, and also in test builds devel-20170426144944-r24625-ga1b1bde (streamtest) and devel-20170426163557-r24625-ga1b1bde (streamtest2).
I'm a new user of OpenElec and I don't have any knowledge if Tidal works on an older version then 8.0.2 or not.

Bug description:
Tidal have 3 quality levels that can be configured from the plugin.
If I try with Low and High, Kodi will crash.
If I try with Lossless it won't crash but can't play any song either and it only show errors in logs like:

Code:

No matter you'd like to play Tidal on Kodi or other media players, to avoid unexpected problem happened, you can choose to download Tidal music on your local computer and then transfer and sync them to other media player for playback. 
Take Kodi as example, you  can use AudFree Tidal Downloader to download and convert Tidal music to MP3, FLAC or other common files and then upload them to Kodi media player and then you don't need to worry about the crash of OpenElec anymore as Tidal files are just local files now.
