I don't see any memory leak warnings in the kodi.log file. I do run iptvsimple so I don't know if this is a source of my problem or something else.

I thought it could be this but it was already disabled sudo echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled

Any pointers?

The first step in fixing the memory leak problem with Kodi on your Raspberry Pi 3+ running Xbian is to use `top` or `htop` to monitor memory usage and see if any processes, such as `iptvsimple`, are using excessive amounts of memory. Make sure there is enough swap space, look for problems in the Kodi logs, and turn off the `iptvsimple` addon for a while to see whether the problem still exists. Last but not least, upgrade Kodi and your Xbian system to the most recent versions. You may also want to tweak Kodi's RAM and video cache settings to enhance performance.
