[Feature Idea] KDE Connect (or Bluetooth)-like Discovery #184

Open raphj opened 6 years ago

raphj commented 6 years ago

Manually entering the IP address and the port number to "pair" Clementine Remote to Clementine is a bit cumbersome. You have to find the IP address of the computer, which can change.

It would be nice to have a mechanism similar to KDE Connect: KDE Connect devices on the same network see each other automatically, and you can pair them that is similar to Bluetooth devices. This would be a nice-to-have feature in Clementine / Clementine-Remote.

This way, password protection might not be needed anymore.

Even simpler than auto-connect, is allow hostname instead of IP address for connection.
