My Kodi 17 updated to 18. 
All media directory paths existed in v17.x ... Meaning nothing new, changed, or was added
When Kodi 18 installed it worked fine. After awhile I found it just 'exiting' when scanning a media directory on a NAS.
I removed the suspect media path and Kodi remained functional. 
Put the path in and I had about 4 seconds to stop Kodi before it crashed and existed.

It seems that a much needed 'check and catch on error' was not put in Kodi 18 as it never did this on Kodi 17

I narrowed the issue down to about 500 files in a media directory. 

What I don't understand is that Kodi 18 ran perfectly for a few days, and it would have scanned that directory when it first installed itself. 

I'm running the Windows x64 version of Kodi 18. Was running the x86 version of Kodi 17.6 (latest 17 release) 
Any ideas?

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.
4.Upload the log to Kodi Paste Site manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. (wiki) With either method post the link to the log back here.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file (wiki)

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Use the Kodi Paste Site. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum
