Can you add an option to delay the app a little when an android car stereo wakes up? #627

Been using this on my phone for a while and it's an awesome app. I have recently put an Atoto S8 android head unit in my van and the app installs on there, and plays music fine, but I get an issue when the engine is turned off and back on again.

I listen to a lot of long mixes, 2+ hours each. When the engine is turned off, the screen goes off but the unit is still powered. Then when the engine is started the screen wakes up again. But each time it takes about 10 seconds for the head unit to mount the external USB memory stick that I have plugged in. So on every engine start, the app forgets what it was playing previously, removes all the previously discovered media and shows no tracks available to play. I then have to do 'rescan media' in the app menu, wait for it to complete, then browse to the track I was playing before. It sometimes resumes playing from mid-track, but other times it starts playing from the beginning.

It's probably something about the head unit rather than the app. But I was thinking if it's possible it would be good to add an option in the app settings for a delay when the head unit wakes up, to allow the head unit some time to set up the USB storage before the app decides there are no tracks available.
