Feature description:
A field on the media provider drop-down (jellyfin, open sonic) for an alternative IP addr/hostname to be used during casting
Problem solved:
I have a NAS that I communicate with using an overlay network (tailscale), that means I connect to the NAS jellyfin/subsonic using an addr or hostname not accessible by other devices, such as my Sonos speakers.
Brought benefits:
Simplifying having self hosted overlaynetwork based system without compromising on features.
Other application solutions:
No, some fancy DHCP DNS magic night be possible, but unpractical
Additional description and context:
This is very much niche problem, but it’s also a rather simple fix. Given that media providers is not set often, hopefully the visual clutter will not be a too high price.
