Ahhh, yes - that's correct.
TV always starts delayed on one client (1 Viewer)

OK, I switched from RTSP to UNC, but the same result. The sound and the video are from the same source. So if there is a problem with the network, I would have assumed, that both is delayed.

OK after switching from RTSP to UNC there is on difference. With RTSP I had sound and the picture started after 30 seconds. Now with UNC I have nothing. The sound appears after 15 seconds and the picture after 30 seconds from the first tune after resume. I don't know if that hint helps.
This moring I first went to my dev PC and started TV. Picture and sound were there after 1 second. I did this just to be 100% sure that it's not a server problem, which I already tested 1000 times (at least it feels like that). Then I went to the living room, started TV and the picture was there after more than 30 seconds. 30 seconds can be damned long when you're waiting for it.
This problem is really driving me nuts. I already installed a fresh Windows and a fresh MediaPortal with no result. A lot of people seem to have network related problems with Windows after resume. In most cases it seems to be a timing issue, but in my case it also happens after waiting some time.

Something has happened!
As my mainboard uses a Realtek chipset for network I often checked their homepage for new Drivers the last months.
So I did yesterday and found a new driver published on 2016/12/27 (3 days before). I installed the new driver and now the situation really got better.
The delay of 30 seconds didn't happen this morning. But always if I resume the PC and immediately start TV the connection dialog appears telling me that the connection to the TV server was lost. If I retry then it works. And if I wait about 5 seconds after resume and start TV everything works.
Is there a setting for the TV server connection to retry a certain amount of times before showing the connection dialog?

I don't think so - it's probably hard-coded somewhere.
I get the same thing happening if my remote dev TV server is not running - when I start MP on my dev client, it always tries to connect to it (even though I'm not trying to play TV!). MP won't switch to full-screen video when I play a local video file immediately after startup because the TV server connection check appears to block the video rendering from running until it's either connected TV server or timed out. So I get the 'audio but no video' situation happening fro a while.
