When I am leaving for work in the morning (or any time I leave my home), if I start playing music via Jellyfin on my android phone while I am still on WiFi when it does switch over to cellular the Jellyfin app immediately drops me back to the "choose server" login screen and makes no apparent effort to switch/reestablish a connection via cellular.
My phone is configured to use my DDNS address and my router (Netgear R7000 running Fresh Tomato) is configured for NAT loopback so that those DDNS requests still appear as LAN accesses to Jellyfin when I am at home. This way I can direct stream while at home and transcode while not at home without having to switch addresses.
My workaround is to wait until I am out of WiFi range to open Jellyfin and start the music. But I'd rather not be fiddling with my phone while driving. Is this something I can address with a router or Jellyfin configuration change? Or is this an unintended app/server behavior that I should submit a bug report/feature request for? I imagine that this has something to do with the stream switching from my home WAN IP to my cellular IP mid-stream. And my music playback settings differing between LAN and external accesses (transcode to 128Kbps when accessing from Internet).
