Suggestion: no repeating of Connection Lost message #132

Hi!

When I use XVDR addon on a laptop or on an android tablet, there is one annoying thing: If I am not in my home wlan, the vdr server is not available, and thus a message in XBMC keeps popping up, telling me "XVDR VDR Client: Connection Lost". This will keep popping up every 10-15 seconds, until i disable LiveTV in the system settings. So when using XBMC without LiveTV e.g. in a train, I have to disable LiveTV, and when I am home again, I have to re-enable it (with the side effect that I also have to enable XVDR addon seperately because enabling LiveTV results in a message "Enabling LiveTV without an active PVR plugin blah...").

Would it be possible to implement some kind of a switch in the XVDR addon to control that behaviour? For example, when this new "Do not annoy me about missing VDR Server" switch is enabled, the message could pop up only once, and then be quiet until I move into the PVR menu (LiveTV, EPG, Recordings,...). When I think about it, this behaviour would make sense to be default, and we would not need a switch at all ;-)

regards, MikeDK

Ok, I just realized that in Gotham with 'Advanced/Expert Mode' enabled in the Settings, there is an option in the LiveTV settings, which disables the connection lost warning. So this issue can be closed, and I'm sorry for bothering :-)
