Problem with slow loading m3u

Thanks for this useful application. 

I have an issue with one of my m3u sources which loads the m3u very slowly which i think is making pled error out:

Failed to generate the playlist.m3u. Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'https://xxxx.com/api/list/?u=xxxx&k=xxxx'

Is there anyway I can change the code to add in a little longer wait time?
