possible update to 'wait for network before starting kodi'?
Does wait for network look for adapter link-state or IP connectivity (address assignment?)
==========
I was seeing an error from my weather add-on at start-up, which I diagnosed to DNS resolution issue in the log: 'Temporary failure in name resolution'. <-- I was seeing these for add-on updates, kodi updates and several others immediately after boot.
After logging in via ssh and performing nslookup on the failing addresses (api.weatherbit.io and others), I could not recreate the lookup failures. I also was not seeing the 'failed' queries in the DNS server logs, but could see all of my queries made via ssh.
I took a shot and assigned a static IP address (vs DHCP) and the errors went away.
I have a rather fast system for a kodi box (NUC8i7 with M.2 ssd), so it boots up / launches kodi rather quickly. 1st world problem... I know
===========
That raises the question of how wait for network before launching kodi is implemented. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Brian
