Between Jan 18 and Feb 22 the vnsi connect behaviour changed.

Ubuntu 11.10 boots in parallel and this it happens sometime that xbmc starts before vdr has fully finished initialising in the background.

Before:
xbmc throws "no pvr backends are available" in the bottom right corner upon startup
2s seconds later it displays the message "pvr manager has been enabled with no active clients, please correct your setting" and opens the addon window.
If I now press back the vnsi gets deactivated and activated again (uneducated guess!) and it instantly connects to vdr and loads the EPG.

Now:
1: xbmc throws "no pvr backends are available" in the bottom right corner upon startup - nothing else.
If I now navigate to TV and try to open it: Goto 1.
If I now navigate to Radio and and try to open it. Goto 1.

vdr is ready in the background - I know because can stream to my laptop. the only way to "revive" vnsi is to manually navigate to the addon manager, really disable vnsi addon, and enable it back again.
Then it scans epg and is ready instantly.

If vnsi would really try to reconnect to the backend (if I try to open live tv), it would be perfect. but now, it stays disabled without any chance to get automatically re-enabled.
