Let's take this thread back on top!

The problems you all have are most probably caused by the Solid UPnP 
backend.

Yesterday I committed a patch which disables the backend, as it proved to be 
the cause of many horrible crashes on my 4.8.2 test installation. You can 
still enable it via SOLID_UPNP environment variable. Please, check 
KDE/x11/kdelibs4/pkg-message in area51.
