Hi
Tried the revised code of chewitt - no change
Read the input by mglae - frankly, I do not undertand it 
Grasshopper yes, I did try that before even launching this thread. That does not solve the issue either. Still the add-on P4MK within Kodi seems to be starting so quickly, that the VPN is not fully up at that time yet.
Good morning
Thank you for your efforts!
The splash screen that is displayed during launch of the PM4K add-on now stays a bit longer.
It gives the appearance of it only moving forward once the OpenVPN connection is established (as is evident by the top-right corner notification from Kodi/zomboided manager.
However, this still then goes into the landing page of PM4K not showing any media found.
I have tested this with a wifi connection of the Pi to my phone as a hotspot (hence outside local network) and also with my local wifi. The latter connects faster, but still gives the same result.
I imagine, a wait command after VPN has been established successfully might do the trick?
What do you think about the code though?
Any chance of adapting it the way u suggested above?
[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN Autorun Service
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --config /storage/.config/openvpn.config
Restart=no
[Install]
## WantedBy=kodi.target
WantedBy=multiuser.targetOh boy
Well, there already was a service for OpenVPN in system.d.
I compared to connman and the only difference I reckon is relevant in this context was the [Installation] part.
There, I put
WantedBy = multiuser.targetreplacing the line that was in there
WantedBy = kodi.targetThis however doesnt guarantee success. When connected via LAN, it seems to be connecting quickly enough. As soon as I let the Pi connect via hotspot outside of the local network, the add-on still starts bevore VPN has been established.
Sorry, probably I am doing this wrong not knowing anything about code.
Hi
Just signed up; not sure if this section is the right place for my question. If not, pls indulge me
Found this:
I am trying to do the something similar, but with this Add-On:
So, the add-on has a setting for it to start automatically once Kodi starts, BUT even though the network is available by then, the VPN is not. Starting the add-on without VPN tunnel active means that it cannot access the PLEX library. It does not periodically scan for the librabry, so if said librabry cannot be accessed upon start of the add-on, I am screwed. What I am after is a few lines of code that will make the add-on wait for the VPN tunnel to be up and then, and only then, to start.
Anyone?
