Media Center setup no longer stalls on VPN credential forms
Posted by tomspark
SparkBox 1.5.11 fixes a friction point that was hitting a lot of you: the Media Center enable-module form was incorrectly marking VPNUSER and VPNPASSWORD as required fields, even though most of you are running WireGuard (the sensible default with Surfshark, Mullvad, or ProtonVPN). That meant you'd get prompted for OpenVPN creds you didn't need, and often end up filling them in wrong just to move past the form. I've marked both fields as optional — they now only show up if you explicitly choose OpenVPN mode in Settings → Config. WireGuard installs now proceed without the detour. Head to the Updates tab in your dashboard to pull 1.5.11. If you run into anything unexpected, post it here in d/sparkbox. --- Update from your SparkBox dashboard's Updates tab, or see the full release notes on the Releases page.
