Tvheadend - Client won't connect to server on localhost without internet.

Just so future people knows, the answer is found here: LibreELEC

I am running LibreELEC 7.1.0 Aug (from this post: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=144&t=22452) on Odroid C2. The service addon version was Tvheadend 4.0 v7.0.101 and Tvheadend HTSP Client v2.2.15.
After clean install the only thing I did was following this guide to setup Tvheadend backend and client. However the funny thing was I have to boot with internet wire plugged in otherwise the Tvheadend HTSP Client will keep saying Connection Lost. However if the machine was booted with internet connected, everything works fine and it is instant.This is such an annoying problem that I can't solve even after hours of google session.The followings are the full logs for each situation (internet on/off)Offline Boot: Ubuntu Pastebin

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem with TVheadend 4.2, the same client and LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.0.2.

Maybe it's the client.

you have to set network settings to manual instad of DHCP. (libreelec-settings)
had the same problem. i solved this with manual IP-Settings

It worked!

Just a note for people with the same problem, I have to connect to internet first for the connection tab to show stuff. Also, the Tvheadend seems to boot a lot slower when booted offline. It took me about a minute for the TV tab to pop up.

For me it is still not working.
As you suggested I set my connection type to manual. But the only difference is that LE boots a little bit slower.
The connection to 127.0.0.1 is still not working when there is no network connection.

I' am using an older HP laptop with LE 7.0.2, Tvheadend 4.2 (7.0.102), Tvheadend HTSP Client 2.2.15.
The log is in the attachment.

If I turn on the network after LE is started, Tvheadend is still not connection. Although the internet connection on LE is working.
The connection from other kodi clients is also not working. And also Tvheadend is not reachable over the web interface.
Only the ssh connection to LE is working at this point.

With a network connection at startup everything works fine.

I have made some additional tests.
- With Tvheadend 4.0 the problem remains.
- Also in LE v7.90.008 the problem still exists.
- I changed the IP to check that it is really static and defined by LE.

It seems like an old bug (static IP is not related to this problem)
