CONNECT/DISCONNECT BASED ON STREAM-TYPE

[albertescriche]

Hi @Zomboided
I have installed the Addon service.vpn.manager 7.0.3  wich connects to OpenVPN 2.5.8. on my windows 11, so far addon controls well the windows 11 application.

THE CHALLENGE:
Using IPTV Simple Client, I have a mix of URLs in my m3u file...

• Some RTP multicast streams which do NOT require VPN
• Some HTTP unicast stream which require VPN

VPN.MANAGER SETTINGS CONFIG:

• Windows filter, indicateswhen kodi is in the IPTV player screen to activate the VPN, which WORKS FINE but blocks the RTP Streams
• Monitor > Stream IDs  !rtp:239  intended to disconnect the VPN everytime a multicast stream is requested NOT WORKING

SUPPORT:
I'm not sure if what I experience is a Bug or the config in the settings I set is not the right one for the use case to connect/disconnect the VPN depending on the type of livestream Kodi is connecting to.
Can you advise?

Thanks,
Albert

Connecting based on streams is something that needs to be more deeply integrated. I did make it work a looooong time ago but the changes didn’t get picked up by whichever application I was using so it didn’t go anywhere.  There’s an API to do the connect/disconnect but it needs something to drive that API that’s not this addon On 13 Sep 2024, at 07:09, albert.escriche ***@***.***> wrote: Hi @Zomboided I have installed the Addon service.vpn.manager 7.0.3  wich connects to OpenVPN 2.5.8. on my windows 11, so far addon controls well the windows 11 application.

Hi @Zomboided
Thanks for setting the context.

I will give a try by activating the VPN with the Window Filter for IPTV player, and filtering out the multicast traffic from the routing tables from Open VPN itself (Outside Kodi). Let's see...
