Client standby problem with MediaPortal usage - Schaussi - 2013-06-16

Hi,

I can't really find a way to isolate this problem, so I first posted in the OpenElec Forum:
http://openelec.tv/forum/83-dvb-s-s2-support/64852-mediaportal-server-zotac-zbox-standby-problem

In short:
After staying in standby mode for some hours, the Zotac Zbox Client (Openelec -> XBMC, Mediaportal PVR Plugin) can't start Live TV immediately. It takes about 10 minutes to start TV, during this time the "Working..." message is displayed.
After a reboot everything works fine again.
Please see the Openelec thread for more Details.

It would be great if you could give me some hints to solve this problem.

Thank you

Today I found out that if I disable and enable the Mediaportal PVR plugin after resuming from standby via XBMC GUI, it works again without a reboot needed. So this would be a workaround.
Is there a simple way to restart add-ons (especially this one) when resuming from standby?

Unfortunately, the workaround also doesn't always help. After re-enabling the MP PVR addon, PVR Manager seems like it cannot finish loading channels.

There could maybe also be a problem with SMB after standby; e.g. I also couldn't access a movies network share - but accessing the shares of the device itself (downloads, logfiles etc.) worked without problems.
