OSMC: script running # 100% cpu on 1 core - kodi

The following thing has been a thorn in my side on my pi2 osmc install.
This script is running constantly, causing 1 core to be loaded for 100% all the time.
The thing is... when I kill it, kodi/osmc will crash at some point. (Not instantly, just somewhere later in the day or so.)
Anyone that can shed some light on this?

That's a bug in OSMC, you should probably let them know.

Visual Studio Code keeps crashing while working

My visual studio code seems fine and all of the sudden boom its crashed. Searched google for the error code No solution found. Any help would be appreciated.
error code = -536870904
Whenever anything stops working for no apparent reason then think:
Did it work before?
No, it is new or it has not worked yet.
Check your download, ensure it is compatible with your operating system and other running programs.
Yes, it used to work, but now it doesn't.
Look at the next step
Did you recently update the program, your operating system or any other programs?
Yes, I updated something.
Try rolling back your updates to see if it works again. New versions of software tend to be more error prone than the older, established versions.
No, I don't think I changed anything.
Either you are unaware of changes made to your system or some subscription has ran out. At this phase, the best option is to use common sense or uninstall and reinstall.
Another issue that you might be having is if you're running too many programs at once and your computer is force closing programs to protect itself. Try monitoring your Task Manager you may see a spike right before the crash. Also, make sure the crash isn't caused because of trying to run code (especially with code that has infinite loops)

kernel stuck of reboots when loaded

Long story short, I am tring to run an custom os on REAL hardware. I am using http://www.brokenthorn.com/Resources/OSDevIndex.html this tutorial as guild line(more like copy 99% of there code there). I made it to page 20 there (demo15) and there i got into a problem, its explained there how to read from a flopy, and I have a hard drive in the laptop! so i started working on a ahci and pci driver and it was going pretty well. But then somthing wired happend I discoved that when the kernel size is more than 17kb is doesnt work. I have no idea to why and i have been stuck on it for 5 days now working on it every day. I know its the size that matter and not the code through my experiments with it. But it runs ok in Bochs only not on read hardwear.
Everything works as long as the kernel is less than 17kb and if its not than when its jump to the kernel entry point is stops or start a infinit loop where it restarts itself for some reason. Well wasnt very short story in the end sorry.
Anyway It will be realy helpful if someone has any idea to why its like that or how to fix it.
I know you dont have my laptop so you cant realy test anything but even an idea to why will help my.
my code is on github https://github.com/xXvilckoXx/os, here.
I am working on VS C++ 2010 express.
Sorry for my bad english and thank to everyone who takes his time to try help me or even just reading this post!

Random Bluescreen of Death

I don't know if this is allowed here but can someone help me why am I getting this random blue screen? It say's whea uncorrectable error but I don't know which part of my PC is faulty. I noticed the BSOD appears when there is a heavy task like when I am coding in VSCode (running npm install, etc). I will attach here the minidump if someone can read it. If you need more information about my PC, let me know. Please I really need your help. I want to use this PC for programming. Thanks!
Latest Minidump File
This usually happens due to the high temperature in your pc, driver related issues or corrupted hardware. I recommend you try stopping overclocking for some time (if it is) and check if the problem persists. If not, then I think there could be a problem with your hardware itself. Try replacing the motherboard.

Bootloader countdown timer stuck at 4 seconds

I seem to have a problem for one the servers that i am handling, i have reinstalled CentOS for nth times, and formated everything, edited the grub.conf time out = 0, but all still the same, the grub timer wont move, always stuck.
Did you end up finding a solution to this? I just had a server with this exact issue right after a fresh install of CentOS 6.x. Even though the system seemed to be keeping correct time, replacing the CMOS battery resolved the issue for me. This was either due to a faulty battery, or the CMOS settings getting reset when I replaced the battery.
Here are the sites that led me to that solution:
https://serverfault.com/questions/42877/grub-hangs-after-x-2-seconds
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1809044/centos-grub-countdown-stops.html
A user on one of those sites said that clearing the "System Event Log" fixed the issue for them. Here are some guides on accessing and clearing the SEL/BMC log:

http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-59226
The issue could also be related to Grub's recordfail logic. More info here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/202309/cannot-get-grub-menu-to-timeout-or-go-away?newreg=dc178d813fbb4f0d803644799bb89c5e
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/872244
Try adding this to /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT
Then run sudo update-grub
Support for GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT was added in the middle of the 12.04 cycle, starting from version 1.99-21ubuntu3.3
Check the date/time setup of your server. After I changed the CMOS battery, server's (HP Proliant) clock was 4 days behind and had same issue, the problem was fixed after setting it up correctly.

OS Booting Issue

Because my work will get lighter for the next month or so, I decided to mess around with OS's, just to see how they work. I found this website, and I'm trying to run the code he provided. I am following the instructions exactly (to the best of my ability), but when I go to try booting with QEMU, I get this text:
SeaBios (version-blahblah)
Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk.
Booting from Floppy...
And it never actually boots. I am relatively new to Ubuntu, and hoping that somebody would be able to point me towards where I made a mistake. I hope this is enough information to diagnose my error, and thanks in advance!
EDIT: Alright, I tried another tutorial which took me through very similar steps (but with slightly different code), and I still had the same issue. I also booted MikeOS from the floppy image it comes with, and it worked fine.
EDIT 2: Aaaaah! I just realized that when I pressed Ctrl+C, the text that was supposed to appear appeared for just a moment, then went away, along with QEMU. What can I do to make the text appear sooner? I've tried moving the infinite loop to after the display command, but to no avail.
I want to start by saying that I didn't read the entire page you provided (as I don't have enough time). However, the error that you cannot boot from HDD, regardless of the OS, usually (always in my previous experiences) means that either the MBA (Master Boot Record) is messed up/incorrect or you don't have a partition with a boot flag on it.
When I have some time I'll look deeper into that page and see if i can find exactly what the problem could be.
Do you have the bytes 0x55, 0xAA at offset 510 of your MBR?
