Hi there,
Wondering if there is a command to delay the start of the PVR in simple client?

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.
