Full Version: Command to delay the startup of the PVR

Hi there,

Wondering if there is a command to delay the start of the PVR in simple client?
Why?
I know from pvr.nextpvr user experience and complaints that if Kodi starts as an autorun app on a PC and it comes up before the network is available, the user get ADDON_STATUS_PERMANENT_FAILURE and the addon is disabled.  Distros like LibreElec have a wait for network option.

Does pvr.nextpvr not implement async connect? If not, it is time to add this, because this is designed to handle network appearing/disappearing, which can happen at any time, not just on startup.

Network not yet being up is definitely not a permanent addon error.

If add-ons are implemented correctly, there is no need for a PVR startup delay option.
@ksooo network changes after the initial connect aren't an issue but it sounds like I have work to do so I have created this https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr/issues/136 to not hijack this thread.   Any  feedback on these issues  1 and 2 would be appreciated.
