I have encountered a problem with the recently released 'OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.298-Intel_EGL' and 'OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.398-Intel_EGL' firmware. The OpenELEC/Network/Advanced Network Settings/Kodi startup time delay function has stopped working. I can specify any delay time but the resulting delay is always zero.

I was previously operating with 'OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.198-Intel_EGL' with a 2 second KODI startup delay without any issues. Without the startup delay, my NAS Shares cannot be seen or take several minutes to appear.

I'm running an Asus Chromebox.

Please advise on where the problem might lie and any recommended solution.

Thanks

assuming you're referring to the 'wait for network before starting Kodi' setting, a minimum timeout value of 10s is advisable, regardless of wired/wireless. Any changes between .198 and newer versions were to correct an issue with that setting not working with Wifi connections, and may have added another 1-2s for wired connections to become available as well.

I'm running a wired connection. I started out with a 10s delay on .198 and was able to reduce that number to 2s and still have reliable operation.

On .298 and .398, the delay is zero regardless of the number that I specify. That's the problem I am trying to describe. This looks a like a new bug.

Meanwhile, I've switched back to .198 and the delay is working correctly again. Again, I'm using a wired connection, not wireless.
