I deleted the folder from Addons and UserData.
When I swap cards the PI that froze still freezes and the other one seems fine. Hardware issue? I'm not sure if there is something in Libreelec where I shouldn't be swapping installs. I can try a fresh install, but this PI was working and I didn't make any changes leading me to believe it could be hardware.

That would be my conclusion yes.
I would try the fresh install to be sure, you can always either use a new card for it or take an image of the current one first and restore it afterwards.
There's nothing much I can see in the logs, but I think the ends are cut off which might be hiding something.

Could be overclock/memory settings are too much for the one Pi.

When I put a stock build on a different sd card it doesn't freeze.
There is no overclocking. In checking that I realized that I need to manually put in my mpeg-2 licenses in config.txt when I copy a build (though I didn't buy one for the 3B+). But if it is working in the new build without the license, it seems unlikely that would be the issue.
I guess I can copy of my settings/addons in batches and test between each copy. I don't have a lot of add-ons, but use Arctic Zephyr and have customized it quite a bit.

The license key is specific to the device, so you will need individual ones for each Pi. If you copy the key from one to another it won't work there, it will only work on the pi it was registered to.
From all you've said so far I would wonder perhaps if the specific Pi does have a hardware issue, but it's only being triggered if the license is in place and so using some specific hardware in processing the MPEG-2 codec. But that should be easy to partition by removing the valid license and using software decoding (allowing of course for performance degradation as a result).

To clarify, it doesn't have the mpeg-2 key now and it didn't before (when crashing). When I copied my main build months ago, I forgot to redo the license key (it is the default as the PI 3B+ I copied from doesn't have a license).

If it doesn't freeze on a stock build and you've there's no overclocking, then it is probably add-on related.
FYI, if you have multiple mpeg-2 licenses for multiple RPis, you can simply add the license keys in the same line in config.txt separated by commas:
decode_MPG2=key1,key2,key3
Your Pi will only use the key if it is the correct key and ignore the others.
). I would strongly suggest you manually remove it.
