Win10 App crashes if NAS not available

Hi,

I’m very new to Kodi. I like to use Kodi on my PC, Tablets and FireTV sticks.

For my first start I used Windows 10 Kodi App (17.3 Krypton) and the add-on ‘Advanced WOL’.
I started Kodi App and Advanced WOL did his job – the NAS started and I had access to my video and music files stored on my NAS.

But I don’t like to support many local libraries I saw the way to centralize the library using a MySQL on my NAS.
Therefore I create a MySQL database running on my NAS.
The changes for KODI in advancedsettings.xml are done and if NAS is running everything is fine.
Centralized library works as expected.

But my NAS does not run 24h. It shutdowns if no client is connected anymore and shutdown in the night at 2 o’clock.
If I start the Kodi App (NAS is shutdown) the start screen (Kodi logo and version) remains and Windows tell me that the application is not responding.
The add-on ‘Advanced WOL’ cannot do his job because Kodi App hangs, maybe in initializing phase.
If I start my NAS by hand the Kodi App starts and ‘Advanced WOL’ report ‘NAS is awake!.

I don’t know if the other Apps (iOS, Android) shows the same behaviour, but this issue is not really nice. If you need a good internet provider for your devices then you should visit website linked here.

Is there a way to get Kodi App started even though my NAS is shutdown? Or is itt a bug in the Windows 10 Store App?

Thx
