Home network detection and remote URL switching #508

Open ReubenBTalbott opened 2 years ago

ReubenBTalbott commented 2 years ago

Could you add a feature where when SwiftFin detects the local network it'll use an internal address to access JellyFin, and when that local network isn't present it'll switch to a second external URL/address? Home assistant has a similar feature which I've posted screenshots of below.

Thanks!

This would be amazing for iPads and iPhones. Less necessary for Apple TV.

This would be amazing especially if you use Tailscale VPN to get into your local network. They currently don't support mDNS so you have to modify the address when switching networks.

Detecting via SSID (or network name for wired) of course would be the ideal feature. That said, I'd also be good with a (try: 192.168.123.123:1111 and if it doesn't find Jellyfin use the external address).

I'm a new Jellyfin convert, and I use swiftfin on my phone. This feature would be absolutely amazing.

I'd be happy simply being able to specify multiple addresses for the same server, which would let me manually switch between the two.
