Detect if Client Connected or Not

[AidenJames1995]

Is there any mechanism to determine if the client actually connects to the OpenRGB Server? The only way to have this start on log-in automatically (that I can find) is to have OpenRGB and my python script be triggered by the Windows start-up process. But if Windows starts the python script before OpenRGB the python script will never connect.

The python script should raise an error if it doesn't connect. If it isn't then I'm going to need more information.

I ended up doing this:

from openrgb import OpenRGBClient
from openrgb.utils import RGBColor, DeviceType
import time, socket

time.sleep(10)
client = 0
x = 0
while x <= 10:
    try:
        client = OpenRGBClient()
        break
    except socket.timeout:
        if x < 10:
            time.sleep(1)
            x += 1
        else:
            print("Failed to Connect")
            break

client.clear() # Turns everything off

devs = client.devices
for device in range(len(devs)):
    time.sleep(.05)
    d = client.devices[device]
    d.set_mode("direct")
    d.set_color(RGBColor(128, 0, 255))

I tried catching "ConnectionRefusedError" in place of socket.timeout but couldn't seems to catch the error.

If you want to catch anything related to connection problems, OSError is the base of all those types of errors.
