As for playing from localhost before the server is up that would be an AE use case. I was going to make the addon startup delay a global setting but @ksooo said it needed to be implemented by each addon so I abandoned the PR.

Upon reflection, the alternative view:
1. Why not include addon startup delay with max delay as global settings, just as is true for Kodi settings in LibreElec/CoreElec: you can delay Kodi start until after the Internet connection is established.
This is very useful, especially with Wifi, and avoids much user frustration.
2. Such global settings will save addon dev time.
3. Of course addon devs can turn this delay feature off if they really wanted to.
4. Maybe just make a zip file (aka an addon) if the PR cannot be accepted ?
There are some addon devs in countries without much electricity now, e.g., a European country in the news...so updates are not easy.
