Is it possible to add a startup delay to JRiver? I know XBMC allows this via a command line parameter. I could use task scheduler, but I want to use JRiver in conjunction with instantsheller (see here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/home-entertainment-pcs/1520187-how-modify-windows-7-boot-straight-into-media-front-end.html). The problem is JRiver boots before a network connection has been established and I get an error saying the library wasn't found.

It happens to me on occasions but I found that a newer LAN Driver was quicker.  The other option I was thinking about that would work is when the Diag pops up but it self retries and continues to load as normal if/when the network connection appears.

Thanks, but I don't think that will work in conjunction with instantsheller. I sort of found a workaround. I just have instantsheller boot some bogus exe that does nothing, and then I use task scheduler to launch Media Center after a minute. Certainly not ideal. I hope the team adds a delay feature in the future

You can make a batch file like this to launch the program after a delay:
MC17.exe /Sleep 1000
MC17.exe
