Automatically detect OpenELEC and set correct openvpn location #36

Closed chewitt closed 8 years ago

chewitt commented 9 years ago

Hello Brian, the other thing that trips OpenELEC users up is configuring the correct path to the openvpn binary. Since OE 5.0.x we moved openvpn to our unofficial addon repo so once installed the binary path will be /storage/.kodi/addons/network.openvpn/bin/openvpn. If the plugin could check /etc/os-release for NAME="OpenELEC" and pre-set the path it would make setup easier for people.

Important to note is that because of this, you can no longer find the binary in the KODI file finder using newer versions. This happens because .kodi is a hidden directory, and the file finder does not list hidden directories.

I'm going to close this issue request because LibreELEC adds a symlink from /usr/bin/openvpn to the installed location in /usr/sbin/openvpn explicitly so that script.openvpn finds it without further configuration. I'm not really concerned if things don't work on OpenELEC these days :)

@chewitt But Brian might be concerned with OpenELEC users?
