I'm not understanding what you need a startup delay for, if not to wait for the network to come online. How are you mounting these NAS shares that they aren't available automatically once Kodi is started? The 'wait for network' delay setting isn't designed to wait a set amount of time without condition; if that's what you need (which I'm not understanding why you do) then there's likely a more appropriate way to implement that.

also, there are Kodi 17 builds by fritsch in the 2nd post of this thread, and also in Milhouse's testing thread (also stickied in this forum).

The problem that I was having is that my NAS SMB shares were not present on KODI startup. By navigating on the main Confluence menu to Video/Files, I would click on a programmed File Menu item and I would get a pop-up message stating that the connection was not found. The SMB shares would usually appear on their own after several minutes of waiting, but not always. It was acting like KODI was trying to establish a SMB share connection before the OpenElec network connection was fully established. I found that by adding a 2 second KODI startup delay, the SMB share was available immediately without the several minutes of waiting.

My network connection is wired using a static IP address. I also have NFS networking available, but haven't played with it.
