With this version when it starts up there's a brief message saying... Attempting to connect to server, please wait.

Noticed it on my main Google TV, then in my other Google TV which had gotten this update, and 1 phone. Then checked my other Android phone that had been off, turn it on and opened Emby and got no message, then updated Emby and now I get the message, so obviously is an issue with this new release.

"Obviously an issue" ? What is the issue?

When it first happened, I was wondering what it said because it was very quick and had to reread some threads in the forum to find out what it was.  I think people will be curious when they first see it.

IF there was a way to make it not show until after X seconds that would be nice because then only the people with slow connections would see it.  Otherwise, I see its purpose.

Well it's basically a flash on any device. It took me many many times on one of my phones just to figure out what it even said on the popup. But it's still annoying ** ****, even a 1 second flash of some sort of popup ain't good. I've never seen anything like that ever.

Mine neither, which is why I think it shouldn't even pop up for several seconds after which it determines the connection is slow.  Even a 5 second delay would mean I would never see it.

[Luke 42916]

It's delayed by 600ms. So one second after that means it took 1.6 seconds to connect. That is long enough that if you don't put up some kind of feedback it will have users mashing and clicking things a second time.

[FrostByte 5572]

It comes up and disappears so fast I can't even read it.  Don't know how anyone could be mashing any keys in that short of time.

I think that it should delay a bit longer before appearing, it is very brief yes but probably a 1.5 delay would be the max that is reasonable (on top of the 1 second), likely 2 seconds overall is a fair target.

What about not showing at all??

Exactly.

Then if your server is unreachable you have no opportunity to cancel the attempt to connect and must wait 30 seconds for it to time out.

[chrisrobbins1970 83]

Ok.... understood... just saw if before the update 

[FrostByte 5572]

Sounds like there is a lot of wiggle room between .6 and 30 seconds.  A delay of somewhere between 2000 to 3000ms before showing it, while trying to connect, would probably allow most of us who are connected via wire to never see it and still not cause people with a slow connection to panic.
