I’ve been using VPN Manager add on for quite some time and I think the add on is near perfection, but I don’t have the skills to modify it. The problem is well know, it fills the Kodi log of junk. Specific that kind of message:
{CSettingsManager: requested setting (label1008) was not found.}
The dev says it is not his problem and I don’t know if I agree or not due my lack of knowledge in development.
So, I decided to get rid of it but first I need to find a way to know when my VPN connection fail.
I was able to devise a little script to test it, but I can seem to make it run on Cron. (But that is another issue that I’m working on.)
My real problem is: There is a way to show in Kodi a pop up with a specific message? I mean, if I’m watching a movie or something, can I receive a message from the system stating that the VPN is down?
I read about Json has this capability, but if there is some other option I would be happy to know.
I don’t mind to be a manual task to start the VPN, I just need to be aware of the fail.
I’m using OpenVPN and using a simple ps -ef to check if openvpn process is running to check the connection.
