SqueezeCenter, if asked, will happily try to do all kinds of things
before it's ready to actually do them. The wait is in there for
SqueezeCenter (not SrvrPowerCtrl) to "find" SqueezeNetwork and complete
some queries. Go into SC Settings->Advanced->Logging and set
(network.squeezenetwork) to DEBUG and restart SqueezeCenter.
On my system, I get log entries like:
Code:

--------------------
So for my system, it took 20 seconds from SC startup until SC had
gotten the list of players from SN. It never seems to go any quicker
than that, at least for me. If your server is waking up from suspend,
the amount of time it takes for your network interface to come back up
only adds to that time. With my ISP, the minimum safe time to wait
until trying to pull players back from SN is 45 seconds.
It would be nice if this could be automated, but there doesn't seem to
be any way for SrvrPowerCtrl to know if SqueezeCenter is "ready" to
interact with SqueezeNetwork. Ideally, there would be 'squeezenetwork'
events in SC to which SrvrPowerCtrl could subscribe and get status
notifications. But there aren't, AFAIK. So all that I really have to
work with here is a stupid (though user configurable) wait time.
If you really, really want to try experimenting with values less than
15, manually edit the srvrpowerctrl.prefs file and change the
nRetrievePlayersFromSNWait: 15 value to something smaller.
