Jellyfin-android: Can't add two instances of same server
I need to access my Jellyfin server differently if I'm within my LAN vs from the internet, but I can't seem to add these two addresses to the android app at the same time. I.e., 192.168.0.3 and mydomain.duckdns.org.
Since these are actually the same server, the last one I enter seems to overwrite the last I want to have both there at once.
I'm using the latest version of the android client from Google Play.

We recently started on a rewrite of the Android app. This issue is about the old app.
We're planning to support multiple servers though and will keep this use-case in mind.

Sounds good. Is there a beta program?

We have our first release candidate which you can download here. This first version only supports a single server though.

For consideration: what other apps have done in the same situation is require the location permission to check the Wi-Fi network that you're on, allow the user to configure their home wifi SSID, and then have two URLs configured for the same server: one internal and another external.
