Is it necessary or an advantage to set a startup delay in the Configuration setup if MP won't start until the tv server is detected

What would this delay be typically used for

Thanks

    ...if MP won't start until the tv server is detected
    Can you clarify what you mean by this? It isn't clear, at least to me.

    Is it necessary or an advantage to set a startup delay in the Configuration setup...
    If you mean that the TV service is always guaranteed to be running when you go to start MP, I would answer: it's unnecessary and a disadvantage.
    MP can wait for the TV service to start if it hasn't already started without even using that setting.

    Yes I meant all to do with MP starting and the tv server detection. I will set it to 0 and see if it helps with this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-14-0-cant-find-server.134270/#post-1194515

    Right, so are there any skins that are higher resolutions? I've had a look through the list and there are MP Display++ skins but no information on resolution.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
