[QUOTE="Hetfield, post: 179190, member: 47345"] I rather use the script shown in this thread than the MediaPortal start up delay features. Reasons: 1) Wait for ... ... to start -option does not work. Result is exception when trying to watch TV after boot. MediaPortal needs to be closed to fix this (no error recovery on MediaPortal TV client side). 2) Start up delay causes a need to wait 60 seconds for start up, even if it's not after boot. For example if i close MediaPortal manually and restart it, i need to wait 60 seconds. With smaller waiting MediaPortal doesn't show TV after boot. And what if 60 seconds is not enough after some boot ==> not a working solution. I suggest to drop this feature and make the wait for... ... to work. 3) The script doesn't make you wait any second too long. And it doesn't make you to wait, if you restart MediaPortal manually when PC has already been running for a while. First it waits SQL Server, then TV Server, then opens MediaPortal.
