Description

So, love the ProjectM addon but unfortunately it's crashing when it changes a preset.
I though it was due to the one-thread bug but that seems to be solved.

Running on the latest LibreElec (9.2.0) and latest ProjectM (2.3.4.1).
I'll try to search the debug log for some usefull information.
There was a thread on the Kodi forum so at least I'm not the only one :-)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the preset change crash in the ProjectM addon on LibreELEC 9.2.0 with ProjectM 2.3.4.1, then collect the debug log mentioned in the report. Compare the behavior with the reported one-thread bug context; done means the crash is reproduced with useful diagnostic evidence and the fix is verified during preset changes.
